Especially given the govt just spent $70m trying to catch the unions



and they did... more than 70 are being INVESTIGATED..

its a shame lefties cannot see how sad it is that the govt has to go down this road...over and over again..

when are the membership of these unions going to demand more from their so called leaders?....

look at the HSU.... the members are still paying their dues......and they will never get any of that stolen money back......and nobody cares....not one union has spoken up and said...

lets get this money back lets take these thieves to court....it could still be going on...for all those workers know.

It does reflect badly on labor. At least half of their MP's and Senators are former Union hacks, as is their Dear Leader. Labor are tied at the hip to Unions.

The matter has been under investigation internally for some months after Mr Kroger raised concerns about apparent overspending on last year’s state election campaign. This is understood to have focused heavily on the spending incurred on communications.

A forensic audit by PBB Advisory at Liberal Party headquarters at 104 Exhibition St uncovered alleged irregularities in invoices lodged with the party for expenses, including for those incurred during the November 2014 election loss.

It is alleged that some of the invoices may have been made out to a company which did not exist.

Mr Kroger said the missing funds were spent on lifestyle and some of it was invested.

“(It was) nothing particularly outrageous, just people funding their lifestyles,” he said.

Sources said some of the money was used to buy shares.

Mr Kroger said checks and balances to ensure this sort of thing didn’t happen had “clearly failed”.

“This is solely the work of one person. it should have been detected a long time ago, it wasn’t, it is regrettable,” he said.

Right...so? Private companies have been slapped for poor treatment to workers - 7-11, the supermarkets.  No comments from libs?

Any group has a few bad apples.

quite a few private businesses rent seek/influence via donations.  You think clive didn't get anything from his previous association with lib party?  Or any other businesses?  Property developers?  etc?

But he didn't do anything about the "maggot bosses" did he, other than lie about 'right of entry'?

He did nothing to look after the safety of worker, did he? As it was not what he was there for.

He took the crib meals of workers and through them out on the ground to intimidate those workers and he did so with the full support of people like your good self.

Too bad POS behaviour like that is still considered illegal in this country.

Stick it to the carnts boys
