Ten years after this questionable flow of money occurred, the AWU are still trying to get their story straight about conflicts of interest with their former boss. Organisations like AustralianSuper and the AWU have an important duty to protect the interests of their members. They manage the retirement savings of hardworking Australians, which they hold on trust. I do not believe there would be any Australian who believes that their hard earned retirement savings should be used for political campaigns or events, and that is why greater transparency is needed and Mr Shorten needs to come clean and answer these important questions. He needs to tell the Australian people why payments were made from the superannuation fund of hardworking Australians which ended up benefiting his union.
