THE Health Services Union whistleblower Kathy Jackson has been accused of destroying documents and laundering money through a colleague’s bank account, according to a leaked email obtained by the Herald.
Ms Jackson, the national secretary of the union, has described the allegations as ”entirely false”.
Ruth Kershaw, a prominent union economist who previously worked with Ms Jackson at the Health Services Union in Melbourne, made the explosive claims in an email to Struan Robertson, a former industrial officer with the union and the half brother of the man at the centre of the scandal, federal Labor MP Craig Thomson.
The email is the latest evidence of the war raging within the union where Mr Thomson worked as federal secretary for five years until 2007. Fair Work Australia and the NSW and Victoria Police are investigating allegations that he misused his union credit card. The opposition hopes to force his resignation and possibly the collapse of the government.
