SHRINKING: HSU’s long nightmare nearly at its end as Jackson has no credit left
Highlights of her report from Friday’s hearing, fused with the latest from intrepid members of the famed VEXNEWS Investigations Unit:
■ As reported elsewhere, suspended HSU boss Kathy Jackson has been playing the insanity card, having her latest lawyer front up with an (undated, unsigned) letter from her psychiatrist – a Dr Foulkes – saying she’s not well. We’ve known Jackson for two decades so our nostalgia for a lost friend would nearly kick in if it wasn’t the for brazen nature of her financial fraud on HSU members and the politically fraudulent nature of her presenting as an anti-corruption fighter while being just as guilty – if not more so – than those she’s denounced;
■ Jackson playing the victim, as above, protesting she is no longer provided with the union resources that she has long grown accustomed to having. She started work at the HSU (its predecessor organisations) in 1992 straight out of Uni and hasn’t ever had a job outside it in the cold, real world where you have to pay for your own phone, your own car and your own overseas travel. The adjustment seems to be still occurring;
■ Jackson’s stooges attended the court to present a scurrillous document (presumably written by her or her partner Fair Work Australia Vice-President Michael Lawler) with various unsupported claims denouncing individuals, including, it seems, the Administrator, a former Federal Court judge.
■ Jackson is desperate to resist the Administration despite once publicly calling for it. The reality of the effects (her forced removal from the HSU gravy-train) dawned on her, rather too late.
■ Perhaps most outrageously of all Jackson has professed not to have had sufficient time to make her arguments – or instruct her latest lawyers – to the court and sought an adjournment on that basis.
Various excuses were offered including her responsibilities as a parent. This is the one subject we are reluctant to go into about Jackson but we will say this: many working mums draw on a variety of resources to bring up their kids, their ex-partners, grandparents, in some cases au pairs, elite private school boarding schools, and other service providers to assist. It’s a juggle for any parent, however they fund it all. Our observation, and recent information confirms, that Jackson was able to draw on a variety of these resources extensively. Normally, none of her domestic affairs would be any of our business and it’s not something we’re that comfortable pursuing but sadly enough she offers up her kids as as a weapon – Iranian mullah style – in the HSU wars and frankly we think it’s the most sickening thing she’s yet done. Decency has gone out the window but her outrageous fibs – implying she’s got the kids at home and is a primary carer – cannot stand. Those intimately familiar with her current personal situation tell VEXNEWS the implication she is the primary carer of her offspring is simply not correct.
As Frances Jones correctly points out, since the court adjourned, Jackson has had plenty of time to prepare and address remarks to the conservative industrial relations thinktank, the HR Nicholls Society, have an oped published in newspapers, attend a nauseatingly soft interview with too boring to be shocking jock Paul Murray where she also raised the subject of her children, but apparently insufficient time to instruct lawyers in her argument that the HSUeast is not so dysfunctional that an Administrator ought be appointed and that she ought remain in high-salaried high office, with Marco Bolano, her favoured goon, who now finds himself unemployed and unemployable.
■ While not completely clear what will happen next week, the end is nigh, it seems. Justice Flick isn’t buying what Jackson’s selling about seeking endless adjournments.
There is also lots of talk around HSU circles of Victoria Police investigating the activities of Kathy Jackson and her associates in the HSU.
Sources in the Melbourne office tell VEXNEWS there’s already a sense of relief among the organisers that it seems Jackson and Bolano won’t be around any more. The Lead Organiser, Fleur Behrens, is apparently keen to step up and play a leadership role, although her close personal association with Jackson – and her lack of experience in actually working in the industry – will make her vulnerable to the same criticisms that have dogged Jackson, that she’s a self-interested, University-graduate political hack more interested in the high-life and fast-living of the Jackson lifestyle than actually doing bread-and-butter union work.
Certainly on Bolano/Jackson/Behrens’ watch, HSU members in Victoria have continued to be some of the worst paid hospital workers in the nation, paid much less than their NSW equivalents. It will be difficult to defend that shameful record, even with access to Jackson-controlled slush funds.

Both Jacksons are in deep shit, with JJ under police investigation on his HSU credit card. KJ at the helm of No 3 Branch had no one to answer to in relation to finances It was like giving the thief the combination to the safe. Hope they both have a miserable life for destroying a great union and tramping on untold innocent people
Kathy, not than you can but please dont txt me. You are 30 years too old for me, would not be hot.
As an old Greek saying goes: even the smart birds can be caught by the beak.
Kathy Jackson is apparently unwell, well anyone could have told you thar,,, everyone knows that she suffers from dilusions of grandeur, She is nothing but a fraud and the noose is finally tightening around her Botox infused neck and it won’t be long till her HSU oxygen supply will be cut of permantly, Her dumbarse stand over man and local union thug Marco Bolano has already been seen entering other union head offices pleading his case and trying to put his name forward for a new job bout everyone knows his days are numbered and will never be employed again in the union movement and nor should he. Good riddance to both of these crooks and for all those who blindly support these two frauds will in time be whacked icn the face with reality and will also face the same fait.
The dubiousness and increasingly suspect nature of both Ashby & Jackson cases i believe will unravel many . Deservedly.
The HSU was not dysfunctional until Jackson went to the media with her allegations. None of these allegations have been proven in court. The viciousness of her media campaign led to resignations and administrative inertia. The current court proceedings led to the removal of HSU executives including those against whom there are no allegations. But they were not removed on account of any wrongdoing. The object is to get the union rolling again. Ironically the only impediment to this is Jackson who caused the problem in the first place. She continues to want to make proceedings all about her. Flick is trying to tell her she is just not that important. She won’t listen.
Judge Flick is deserving of great respect for pointing out that regardless of Kathy’s opinion, affidavit, press releases, assertions etc…they all still weigh heavily to the case of serious dysfunction.
In which case the remedy of administration is the right and correct thing to do by the members.
As pointed out correctly by the previous post, many executive members of which have no “allegations” against them have also been suspended to allow a spill for new fresh elections.
The dysfunction has been endemic under her watch and it’s time that she walked away , along with Williamson to remove the factional stranglehold once and for all.
Who organized to fund Jackson and Bolanos ticket????
Williamson
Who are Julia Batty and Rob Morrie?
Jackson had the guts to do something about the corruption. Its only a matter of time before charges and court proceedings.
Julian Batty was on a ticket against Williamson about 15 years ago and got belted. She is now a Useless Jackson puppet. Just as she was someone else’s puppet 15 or so years ago.
Rob Morrie used to be an intelligent Victoria HSU member, who earnt a heap of respect for being a delegate who really worked hard to represent his hospital. Unfortunately for Rob, Kathy has spewed her toxic bile into his head too much and now he is nothing more than another Jackson puppet parading as a man who wants to clean up corruption within the union by creating an alternate option, backed by Jackson, which has potentially more corruption issues than the group they wish to replace.
Apologies “Julia” not “Julian”
Damn autocorrect
Interesting how the most comprehensive accounts of the court case are coming from Frances Jones who isn’t a journalist. Yet only in her accounts do we get some sense of the chaos introduced by Jackson’s intervention in proceedings. I would suggest that Flick by now has got a pretty good idea of source of the dysfunction in HSUeast.
anonymous
You are correct, it is only a matter of time, but Victoria will also be included. Jackson’s time has run out and her dealings are also under the microscope. Not sure if it was guts or stupidity?
Insanity card?
Check out the DSM 5 …we could all be labelled ‘sick’!!!
Recall most people in Jackson’s position pull out this card …
I have only ever known you to be a true unionist.
You stood in the 2009 elections and after the Fegan
ticket was defeated you did not join the private company HSAM started by Fegan.
Rob you stuck by your union principles and continued on as a member of HSUA. If you really want to make a difference to this union do it without the baggage of Kathy Jackson.
Rob you have great trade union values but if you stand on a ticket backed by Jackson you will not get
our vote. You have a lot to offer this union think about it long and hard and take the time to find out how much members money kathy has used to benefit herself. Make an informed decision not what
Kathy is feeding you.
I don’t know how Ms Jackson rose to this position. The union movement has slowly been finding its way back to do the job it does best and that is to support Australians in the workplace. Ms Jackson’s behaviour has damaged the HSU and the union movement. If she is ill, that is one thing but anyone with any sense and understanding of the legal system, is aware that there is a line that must not be crossed when it comes to court procedure. Sending emails to Judge’s Associates, personally approaching the bar table and telling judges to excuse themselves from cases is the most inappropriate behaviour, and as we have seen, it is not, will not and should not, be tolerated.
DEAN!! you and kathy have very similar traits.you are both nearly at the end and have no credit left.as the Authorities close in.probing your amassed wealth DEAN.as you both have never had a job in the real world, this will come as a real shock.see you in federal court June 21st.
‘The Con’
It was not Williamson who funded the Jackson ticket….her good friend Feeney himself was the grand master helping from behind the scenes, he even donated his coburg office and staff to the cause…then there was Robin Scott MP, Charlie Donnelley NUW, Michael Donavon SDA, tobaco companies and more….poor little Kathy was exhausted running around town casting her spell and telling anyone who would listen.
KJ makes Williamson, Fegan and co look like the salvation army.
Karma is on it’s way to the Jackson Lawless household and about time I say!
Anon – You too can go places. Ingratiate yourself with someone with influence. Take what they give you. When you don’t need them any more stab them in the back and take their place. Use the courts if you dont have to pay for them personally. Use the media but don’t worry about the truth, just get them excited enough to smear your enemies. If you can find some well connected people, befriend them. Better still marry them. You can’t go wrong.
Big upset in Deakin for Libs.
Wondered who they represented.
What I do know, is my local paper is correct, staff at Gosford Hospital voted that all officials be dismissed and a administrator appointed immediately.
It was suggested that similar actions were being taken across the hospitals.
Where they got there votes from is interesting.
The sweet irony in all of this is that we never would have known about the actions of KJ et al if she simply kept her mouth shut….so well done and thank you KJ(maybe the HR Nichols Society or the Libs will need a new spokeperson or candidate soon….we can only hope). Also given KJ had to hand in her HSU property including the car, does anyone know if it was “the” Volvo which she claimed she never had?….I’ll bet it was and wonder what Paul Murray will have to say now about his “brave whistleblower”?
none of this would have happened if the gutless Hudson and seymour, who were both promised the position of State Sec by JJ had not changed their vote from Fegan to KJ for National Secretary.Where are you both now
Beware of Greeks bearing power . The Sofie Mirrorball , Kathy The Clown roadshow proves that politicians of this ilk should leave the Neuro Zone immediately . Let’s not forget the Sydney Harbour Casbah Kiddies , “let’s be so smart we wreck Sussex St and Canberra and then scurry like rats behind the Pokies of Crown et al “. Happy Loo Year !
It’s great isn’t it. If I was Nathan Metcher, Industrial Officer for the NSW CEPU postal division I’d be pretty nervous. Apart from working in a bank and being son of NSW State Secretary Jim Metcher, It’s not exactly clear what skill set he brings to the table. He didn’t set the world on fire as a Your Rights At Work campaigner like, say, Dan Walton, nor as cumming as the old photocopier boy from Trades Hall, Old liverlips Howes. The union movement has been a sheltered workshop for droogs of all shapes and sizes for too long and a lot of people have voted with their feet, which is dangerous, because the big end of town is rolling bodies over and grabbing anything shiny. Great coverage Vexnews, especially the court transcript link. I loved Justice Flick: “Quite frankly I try to ignore the newspapers.”
Smart man.
If I can turn back time
Can you answer a couple of things – get Hudon, who is Seymour. Can you elaborate.
JJ was running on the KJ ticket with Bolano as Secretary?
so why offer to others
Is this National or No 1?
Would really like a little more detail.
24/7 I invent hate towards the ALP, I have a few minutes off now. Let me look at a picture of Tony Abbott’s genitalia and I get all warm and fuzzy.
Kathy please txt me.I am 30yrs. older than you and I think you are hot.
Seems Kathy has a new career as a weapons trainer in Seattle: http://www.corneredcat.com/
Was this my dear friend Alan Jones dogging again??
‘Naked man holds genitals on golf-course while making “suggestive statements” to terrified jogger bit.ly/L2yMnW’
Yes kathy txt Roger. I only txt and proposition teenage Liberal party members after drinks at Parliament House.
Roger the dodger u can text me ….this is my main form of targeted communication.
I hope they throw the book at the woman for the dreadful chaos she has created for so many.
Turn back time you are so wrong, Hudson was never a member of national executive , Seymours vote counted for nothing as Williamson and other branches viewed fegan as a problem and refused to back her, read the minutes and then offer your educated views!
A tweet I have to share
If Kathy Jackson And James Ashby Had Kids They Would Be Evil Little Fuckers
Mr (or is it Ms) Mayor of the North..please enlighten us all…
What happened to Seymour and Hudson?
Are they still living off HSU members’ dues? Or are they patiently waiting for the demerger and joining one of the many not-so-clean clean-up-HSU tickets.
To honour a legal contract insted of tearing it up in the pursuit of power is to be rewarded
Mayors have a different view of the world.
For the basic punter it seems many contracts at HSU rewarded family and mates and should not have been honoured.
By the way what happened to seymour’s spouse?
Didn’t he have training contract with the HSU?
And a fine trainer he was, Fegan employed him , one of the few people outside of her family that was employed in the uion
Henderson won Corangamite
Behrens(jacksons little wana be)/Bolano/Morey ticket…doomed
HSU staff are sick of the whole situation…KJ it’ll take more than a few drinks after work to keep them all onside, they’re starting to see the cracks in your lies I mean stories!!!
Looking forward to watching the show.
kathy contact DEAN MIGHELL his up for anybody.his days are numbered see you in federal court June 21st.
Dirty bed pan award, i wonder why Hudson and Seymore were not reemployed by the Hsu under Bolano.
I know Hudson did a lot of work?? for JJ During the elections in 2009, and seymore did a few things also, Strange???
@ jimmy | June 17, 2012, 21:13
Jimmy did you go to f*cking school? You are totally illiterate. I doubt that you can read let alone understand a bloody balance sheet and audited accounts. Now shut up and go away, you are going to be bloody humiliated again when the Fed Ct goes nowhere. Stop wasting ETU Vic members money.
“But do not dump stuff in the media to damage people’s reputations to get your own way. I’m saying they had independent auditors in there and yet this was not raised in the independent auditor’s report that she commissioned, and yet they provided material to the newspapers,” Kathy Jackson 9 April, 2009.

Thanks you for your comment, I find this interview fascinating. It almost seems like it has been taken up as the “next game plan, fast forward August/September 2011’.
And lets not overlook:
“No doubt they’ve been pedalled around by forced opposed to Jeff Jackson. A man’s reputation is at stake. They should allow an investigation to occur.
Not a quick investigation; they need to do a proper, right investigation. If the allegations are proven, then steps will be taken.”
How many reputations have been damaged by the allegations Ms Jackson has put out to MSM and how many of those allegations have been proved at this point?
Wixxy mentions something about a pot and a kettle…………..
Jackson and Bolano operating in 2009 in Victoria – some things never change!

@ God | June 16, 2012, 19:21
Nate is probably as talented as his old man in all manner of ALP Right Dark Arts. You wonder when all those clowns he has working for him are going to wake up to themselves and finally grow some balls and roll him. As for ‘mini me’ Nathan, the bloke has an IQ equal to the temperature at Mawson on a Winters day and that is still higher than the collective IQ of most of the organisers. Still smart enough to run his car hire biz with his work mobile though, bit like all NSW union offspring it would seem. One can only wonder and speculate on how they have managed to survive for so long, how high does the stench go in NSW and O’Fazza’s changes go far enough and deep enough to weed out the disease once and for all? You can only live in hope.
Nates Mate,the only thing you can hope for from Bazza O’Fazza and the rest of the Liberal loonies, is lies deceit and self interest designed to do over everyone other than their top end of town mates!
Remember the unspoken creed of the LNP is “every man woman and child for themselves (except if you are rich)”.
They may claim that they want to clean UP the unions, but their real aim is to clean OUT the unions, hence their support for the ‘ i’m a couple of snags short of a BBQ’ Jackson.
thanks for your reply DEAN. you are the last person to tell me, to stop wasting ETU money.at least you finally acknowledge on vexnews that the federal court case exist, regarding a audit of the VICTORIAN ETU BOOKS.it’s about time you told the 85% of the members that voted for, you that you are in the federal court to stop the books from being looked at.strange considering you say it will go nowhere.see you in federal court June 21st.
you know, get rid of all teh jacksons and those associated with them and the corruption, and bring back the real organisers that actually looked after the members issues and got on with the job. As soon as this happens people and members will have faith back in HSU
Who the hell is Jimmy. I am guessing he is not a Transexual.
To see what the Jacksons were really doing check ou the latest IA article – frightening
http://www.independentaustralia.net/2012/politics/trouble-in-jacksonville/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=trouble-in-jacksonville
I really hope all those sycophantic and blinded by stupid loyalty all those Vic organisers read the latest edition of “Jacksonville” in the other credible website ‘ Independant Australia ‘ and than take a step back and think, ‘ hey, maybe our beloved leader Kathy Jackson is nt so innocent after all and perhaps she has as many questions to answer as does Michael Williamson ‘????
Surely, any of those organisers who after reading this and seeing actual copies of statements with Jacksons own signature on them and still decide to chant the praises of Kathy Jackson well I hope they are prepared to suffer the same fait as Jackson and her dumbarse sidekick, the now suspended and unemployed illiterate Marco Bolano will be faced with very shortly.
How pathetic to hear the left complain that she went into the union from university…never had a real job…and she’s useless.
Suck it up princesses. This is the disaster that you all brought upon yourselves, when the left was too smart, arrogant and smug by half.
Now it’s all gone bad. Suck it up. You deserve it.
Just read Wixxy’s latest post on IA.
The next great sporting event to watch will be the LNP and the MSM bottom feeders ducking, weaving and running for cover, like state of origin players, when this shit hits the fan as the new administrator starts looking and Vic Pol start asking questions.
Peter Reith’s smarmy grin should be one of the first to dribble off of the bottom of his chin followed closely by that of T Rabbot and C Payne.
This won’t be just the wheels falling off, but the axles, the running gear, the motor and the steering wheel!
Serves them right!
Would the real orgainisers please stand up.
Flue-r ???.
The best thing about this whole sorry saga, is that in time, the hard working members will hopefully regain the faith in this union and have confidence their funds are not being miss used, but the best thing is that those total wankers and pretenders such as Marco ‘ I can’t speak proper English ‘ Bolano, Kathy ‘ I’m not feeling well but love stealing members money ‘ Jackson, and the new so called star of the show Fluer ‘ I want to be just like my idol Kathy ‘ Behrens , are all going to go down in a screaming and all Vic Organisers are going to be following them out the door and marching to the unemployment line at CentreLink
And she is still getting $150k of members money as National Secretary, when will there be justice?
Yeah that’s right, the LNP will be shitting themselves as the left implodes. What a load of crap
What does the left have to do with anything shagger moron.
The whole HSU saga is not even halfway over. Seems all the reform Heroes are connected with williamson, Jeff Jackson or Kathy Jackson or Fegan at some point.
At the top of this mess we have a federal MP and 2 senators jockeying for control of future ALP votes of a demerged HSU.
Nothing will change. Puppett masters will bring back recycled puppets of puppets – all trained in a very rotten self serving HSU culture.
And what is the deal with ex-HSU officials and local government? Brimbank was infested with them and Darebin has been run by Jackson trained monkeys for years.
Marilyn, you can be the new leader of the left with cutting insight like that. Suck it up princess
Shagger is full of shit.
Bet Jeff is not a very happy boy, trying to live a quiet life on members money in Sassafrass, and look what falls out of the closet.
So many skeletons, it’s surprising Kathy went down the path.
Anybody heard from Bolano, he’s gone VERY quiet?
So what is Bolano doing for work now?
yeah shagger, this isn’t a left-right thing. Those of us out here in the real world are a bit too grown up for that. What we’re interested in is what’s going to happen to the useless media hacks that trupeted Kathy Jackson as some sort of heroine when she’s looking like the worst example of union rorting since the Painters and Dockers or Gallagher’s BLF.
WHat we want is real unions like the Your Rights At Work campaign promised but never delivered because they didn’t want to offend their ALP mates! Unions with a bit of balls that can deliver something more than the lousy bone percent per year payrise I’ve got on my EBA.
First start would be to kick out every uni student employed at unions and only employ people who have worked in the industry they are representing for at lerast five years. That would flush a lot of the deadwood down the toilet straightaway!
GOD! you left out DEAN MIGHELL victorian etu rotten to the core.that’s why his in the federal court, trying to stop the national office from looking at the books.see you in court June 21st.
Hey God. We agree on one thing – that unions are run by deadwood. However it is a left thing. You brought it on yourselves. Suck it up princesses
I hear from a reliable sorce that Bolano was seeking a job with a former official who has built up considerable business interests in a far away European port. The response was not so welcoming.
@ Skeptical | June 18, 2012, 7:35
“the only thing you can hope for from Bazza O’Fazza and the rest of the Liberal loonies, is lies deceit and self interest…….”
How does this description differ from most of the unions being discussed here? Bazza has seized hold of an opportunity that was handed willingly to him and the Libs by the union movement themselves. Abbott will do the same. As long as we have pisshead, lying, rorting union officials who think that the union game is all about them the problems will remain. Most of the union officials I have met are fantastic, hardworking, dedicated people but there are those small numbers who are just pure evil, they need to feel important and gain opportunity for themselves that they could not possibly earn they are that bad. Let’s face it, some in the union movement would be doing time in jail if they weren’t in unions. In that regard they are not too different to a lot of people in business. Shareholders & Union members unite, all those wankers at the top are ripping you off.
poor marco…who’s going to give you a job???? karma for stabbing your buddies in the back for jackson the looney…you two have ruined a good union and hurt decent honest people in the process….shame on you
Bolano/Jackson were always in it for themselves. Funny how KJ waited for the merger and huge salary before announcing war on her bff Williamson, Bolano was too much of a coward to tell her otherwise. Between them they don’t have two brain cells to rub together, sooner theres an election and new blood in there the better.
hsu members have funded the ‘jacksons’ lifestyle for far too long, the gravey train has finished for you. union members deserve better.
bolano will never win another election, damaged goods thanks to wacko jacko.
as for her, has she ever won an election???? who has voted her in???? no and no one is the answer, the members in vic hate her.
go away and allow the police, courts, elections sort out this mess you have created.
are you for real?
you have no shame.
Who was Bolano before the election, why was he chosen to become the state sec.Answer, NOBODY, and Deal done, as to Jamie & carroll, i believe they had no idea they were sucked in by CJ and did the honourable thing and resigned. Don’t think you can just walk away from this mess Bolano, Karma will catch up
Bolano lied to them both, sold them out to jackson to line his own pockets thinking he had a job for life with jackson and no mention of the members. jamie didn’t like the management style of williamson and resigned, little did he know that it was his good friend jackson behind williamsons micro managing of him. not sure about carol, we heard she couldn’t stand listening to any more lies from jackson and was sick of bolano and jackson keeping her in the dark so she left. bolano is as big a liar as jackson. where’s our eba? still nothing, pathetic.
http://www.savehsu.com
They need to pay all the money back that they stole from every union member
take note DEAN!!!you will need to pay back all the money you stole from the union.see you in federal court tomorrow June 21st.
Soon there will be nowhere to hide Mighell !
I hope they all go. They are rubbish. But when they go so do the left. Suck it up

About time everyone knows the truth about the jackson/bolano circus
http://www.independentaustralia.net/2012/politics/jacksonville-13-how-to-frustrate-a-judge/
He usually only threatens helpless women….
They were both in the melbourne office friday for staff drinks….it’ll take more than that to keep the staff motivated and loyal to endure another election guys…
bye bye
Another KJ fictional creation in the fin review today
All going well DEAN… you have had a good month. the hastie boys say thanks.introducing a processing fee for the protect members, i would of thought it would be cheaper too off load Gary Robb considering the metals will be keeping their 80 million in incolink.surely you have to happy with $270,000 plus a car,phone for doing nothing at protect. at present your getting $140,000 plus kick backs for doing nothing[hastie]time to go or be expelled.
So it would be fair to say that Kathy has been given the flick from the HSU.
after all the contempt she showed the Courts ,The Judge, the law , innocent people, hsu members , and the truth , Jackson got off lightly .
and left behind nothing good….just carnage.
Good riddance
Well said ‘beyond redemption’. Should be put on a plaque at the HSU.
Did Bolano attend today?
Ms Jackson said she was disappointed with the outcome.
“I want to remind our members that the amalgamation of the union did not cause the corruption in the HSU East, and I was quite surprised by the judge’s decision.
“That’s a question for the membership – the membership should decide whether there should be a de-merger of the union or whether we should stay together as one big union.”
Pray tell Ms Jackson did you give that mandate to the members to vote for a merger in the first place??It’s a bit late to be considering the members now ..how bloody thoughtful .
SCAB
Will the Jackson’s get criminally charged for looting the Hsu for so many years??? and what about Elliot getting paid for all thoses years for advising the Jacksons how to take control of the HSU. Good riddance
Whilst Ms Jackson will no longer have any part of the HSU East Branch, it appears that she still remains national secretary of the HSU.
No, because with the demerger of the union all the positions are now open and she has lost her job.
Unfortunately she still gets paid Marilyn. From the judgment.
The loss of the $270,000 remuneration, it was suggested by Counsel for Mr Brown and his associated Applicants, would not affect her entitlement to the remuneration of $150,000 attaching to the position of National Secretary.
Re her claim that demerger should be voted on. She continues the deceit. This from the judgment.
First, the merger which originally took place between the former New South Wales Branch and the Victorian No 1 and No 3 Branches has proved to be unsuccessful. Moreover, the Convention of HSUeast (a convention of both the Federal Branch and the State Union) has passed a resolution that the Branch be demerged. According to Mr Brown, whose evidence was not challenged, the matter was considered at the Federal Union National Council on 30 November 2011. The Council passed a resolution that, subject to the endorsement of the HSU East Council, a new Branch of the Federal Union was to be created in Victoria comprised of all members formerly eligible to be members of the Victoria No 1 Branch and the Victoria No 3 Branch.
How long till we see Hayes and Lillicrap circling the HSU carcass like the vultures they are?
Tony Abbott should resign. He vouched for KJ, told the Australian public she is very credible and that her accusations should be taken very seriously. That’s extremely worrying coming from someone who wants to lead the country. He has a lot to answer for.
Surely there is someone in the Liberal party who has the kahunas to take on TA…? Or perhaps they are all willing to ride caboose on his runaway train?
Check out Independent Australia they run their own Jacksonville page. there is an article on Lillicrap meeting with KJ a big welcome kiss and behind-closed-doors meetings very recently. Hayes turned up in the office today against court orders. these guys are running a Jackson ticket- Hayes admits to working “behind the scenes” for her to sink Williamson.
Love that she refuses to answer IA questions and has taken no action?
So what happened on the 21st with Dean?
Have been reading the comments in here.
Can anyone give a rundown?
Great wixxy story on IA. Face to face with she who must be obeyed but wasn’t by great man Flick.
will report back regarding DEAN in federal court awaiting details.
Could Vex just do a story on the ETU so jimmy can satiate his OCD there instead of the painful, repetitive and barely litereate spammming he does in HSUEast threads?
Jimmy, to save you some effort I can accuse myself of being Dean Mighell if you like
There will be a story shortly, just be patient thanks Ge.
So jimmy you weren’t there then, you are just a tool of those who want to smear others for there own political motives. You are an idiot jimmy, a fool who cannot see the wood for the trees. See you when you are sued for defamation jimmy and your masters for vicariously winding you up.
Christina Keneally promised to serve a full term!
She is just like JuLiar – another ALP liar that lies.
Thanks for your reply DEAN!!!was not aware under australian law DEAN that you could be sued for telling the truth.i am the master of my own destiny.several people have asked on vexnews what the outcome of the FEDERAL COURT on June 21st.DEAN with his lawyers paid by the VICTORIAN ETU MEMBERS have lodged their reply in court.National office will reply by July 27th.all because, you refuse to show the books.
