Robertson has form for poor decisions:

Michael McGurk offered ALP leader John Robertson $3 million bribe when he was NSW union boss


Labor leader John Robertson displayed an ''error of judgment'' by failing to report an attempted $3 million bribe from late businessman Michael McGurk, an inquiry has found, potentially reigniting questions over his leadership.

The parliamentary inquiry into the sale of the former union retreat Currawong at Pittwater found that the offer, made when Mr Robertson was head of Unions NSW, should have been reported to police and his own organisation.

It would also have been ''reasonable and prudent'' for Mr Robertson to have disclosed the offer later, when he was a Labor minister, the report said.
