Statement from ACTU Secretary Dave Oliver:
29 August 2015
Acting on behalf of a number of affiliated unions, the ACTU has today made a further submission to the Royal Commission into Trade Unions, in relation to our application that the Commissioner disqualify himself, following the production of further documents by the Commission yesterday.
The ACTU is concerned that there have now been two occasions where it has become apparent that we have not had all of the relevant information provided to us despite our requests.
It is now also clear that Counsel Assisting Mr Jeremy Stoljar was aware that not all of the information regarding the Liberal Party fundraising event had been disclosed to the ACTU or the public.
This Royal Commission is now terminally tarnished.
The ACTU has always maintained that the Royal Commission is a political witch hunt by Tony Abbott designed to weaken his political opponents.
When it came to light that Commissioner Dyson Heydon had agreed to speak at a Liberal Party fundraiser we called on Prime Minister Tony Abbott to shut down the Royal Commission.
The ACTU again calls on the Prime Minister Tony Abbott to shut down the Royal Commission into Trade Unions and to stop wasting millions of tax payer dollars pursuing his own political agenda.
