Anti Union commission fails again

Labor Leader Bill Shorten has escaped censure by the royal commission into trade unions after barristers assisting the inquiry made no submissions of any criminal or unlawful conduct by the Labor leader while he led the Australian Workers Union (AWU).

Key points

  • 'No submission' Bill Shorten acted unlawfully
  • Cesar Melhem could face criminal charges over soliciting corrupt commissions, false accounting
  • Submissions relate to Melhem's "elaborate scheme" with Cleanevent and similar deal with Thiess John Holland
  • TJH executive Julian Rzesniowiecki may also have offered a corrupt commission
