    Hairyback

    According to a 1996 affidavit filed in the NSW Industrial Relations Court when the scandal became public, $385,000 was WA government money that had been provided to construction company Thiess Contractors.......

    Thiess was the biggest contributor to the association between 1992 and 1994 but refused to lay a complaint when WA fraud squad detectives began an investigation into what Mr Wilson and his WA union colleague Ralph Blewitt did with the money.

    Without Thiess’ complaint against Mr Wilson and Mr Blewitt, police wrote off the investigation in 1997. The pair were also investigated over claims that $145,000 from a separate union fund was used inappropriately to buy holiday units in Kalbarri. No charges were laid.

    So are you suggesting that the Workplace Minister investigate Thiess, a construction company, as they were given the money and not the AWU?
