- Victoria Police has begun interviewing witnesses in the Australian Workers Union scandal.
Fraud Squad detectives have contacted at least two people, including retired Greek-born builder Kon Spyridis, who said he spoke with police on Monday over payments he’d received from the AWU in the mid-1990s.
Police have also contacted former Slater & Gordon employee Olive Brosnahan, who in 1993 did the conveyancing on the Melbourne property at the centre of the affair.
Prime Minister Julia Gillard yesterday declined to say whether, as a lawyer 20 years ago, she vouched for the AWU Workplace Reform Association’s bona fides – Herald Sun
