Mr Shorten needs to make a public statement and provide the evidence, the minutes and the resolutions of the relevant AWU executive meeting to demonstrate that the $100,000 donation—the donation itself has been confirmed—complied with the AWU rules. He also needs to clearly outline the steps that he took to properly declare his conflict of interest at the time. He needs to answer what steps he put in place to disclose to the AWU workers that he was spending their money on a GetUp! campaign that was being run against their jobs—not in their interests but, ultimately, against their jobs. If he fails to do this, it shows that we absolutely have to go further because he has something to hide.
