Just to be clear, I am not advocating wrong-doing.
This calls into question the motives for such an RC. A witch-hunt perhaps? Surely it wasn't politically motivated.
Unions royal commission extension reveals true motivations
http://www.smh.com.au/federal-polit...reveals-true-motivations-20141008-10rphm.html
"The real reason for the extension now comes to the fore: Simply put, the union royal commission has not yet delivered the political bang for the public buck its champions had so eagerly anticipated."
One article will not cover the illegality which is now surfacing within several unions. As a union member these unions give the rest a bad name.
The hassle is that they may have not only engaged in illegal activity but had a direct control/say etc in the creating of ALP policy through conferences and effected who is the leader and the PM.
Would ALP have ever done this investigation. Look to Faulkner as a man who sees the evil here.
