Sally McManus said:
How come the media needed a nine-month investigation? How come the police haven’t been talking about this? How come you’re expecting that we would know that, when the people with all of the resources, all of the resources weren’t saying it?”
“It’s one thing for people to say oh we knew it or this or that, or why didn’t they go to the police’? That’s what I would say if we had known, if we had of known there were alleged criminal elements in that union, that’s exactly what we would have done. And now that we do, we will fight it.”
“Some people in that union have been putting their own personal interests before the rest of the movement for quite a while, but the average union member in our country is a 46-year-old nurse.”
“That’s why we kick those people out and we will continue to uphold that, every single day. Australia needs a strong principled trade union.”
