FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda The opposition will move to make sure a report into the Health Services Union (HSU) is tabled in parliament and made public.
On Tuesday the Fair Work Australia general manager Bernadette O’Neill said she had referred the report of investigation into the HSU’s national office to the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) to consider possible criminal charges.
Ms O’Neill said that in referring the report to prosecutors she was not saying criminal charges were likely or not.
While the DPP considers the report, Ms O’Neill will consider whether to take to the Federal Court some or all of the 181 workplace law and union rule contraventions found by investigators.
This may lead to civil penalties against former union boss and now Labor MP Craig Thomson, and others.
Mr Thomson vehemently denies all the allegations that have been raised against him.
Ms O’Neill did not name any of the people involved in the breaches or investigation.
Opposition leader Tony Abbott said the coalition would ask for the report to be tabled in the Senate.
He said there was “ample precedent” for such a move, including an earlier report on a FWA investigation into the union’s Victorian branch.
“The advice I have is that there is no reason why this report cannot be released immediately,” he told ABC Radio, adding that the advice came from the shadow attorney-general, George Brandis.
Mr Abbott denied he was wanting to play judge and jury on the matter.
“I am wanting our government to be transparent,” he said.
“I want justice to be done, plainly, on the basis of the known facts of this matter.”
Senator Brandis said on Wednesday he did not believe the report should be regarded as a brief of evidence to the DPP and thus kept confidential.
“Although, in effect, from the point of view of the DPP it amounts to something similar,” he told ABC Radio.
“But it’s more than that. It’s a report into the affairs of a union.”
