Description:
Kathy Jackson was hailed as a heroine for blowing the whistle on the million-dollar fraud of Michael Williamson, the corrupt boss of the Health Services Union (HSU). She endured bitter personal attacks from enemies in the Labor Party and the union movement.
But what if Jackson was just as corrupt as Williamson? Or worse?
While Jackson was being portrayed as a Joan of Arc figure, she was spending vast amounts of her own union members' money on international holidays,
fashion, jewellery, a mortgage, and even part of a divorce settlement.
Nothing, it seems, was off limits. This is the real HSU story—the staggering misuse of the union dues of some of the lowest paid workers in Australia. The HSU scandal is more than a dark morality tale marked by high drama
and farce. It exposes deep problems at the heart of the union movement and the Labor Party- tribalism, nepotism, a misplaced sense of entitlement and the misuse of other peoples' money.
