AWU scandal: second file on Gillard’s correspondence turns up empty | Herald Sun Andrew Bolt Blog
Gangsters.

First Slater & Gordon couldn’t find the file that would tell us if Julia Gillard misled corporate affairs officials about her boyfriend’s slush fund:
Now another file is mysteriously missing its documents, too:
PUBLIC documents that were essential in the fraudulent operation of a union slush fund that Julia Gillard helped to establish 20 years ago are missing from the official file in Western Australia.
The file, numbered 000 748 and titled “Australian Workers Union—Workplace Reform Association Inc”, is held in archives by the State Records Office in Perth.
The file should contain key documents from 1992 when the association, which Ms Gillard described as a “slush fund” for union officials including her then boyfriend, AWU boss Bruce Wilson, was registered by the WA government.
The association’s constitution described it as being dedicated to workplace safety, and omits any mention of it being designed to fund union elections as stated by Ms Gillard. But the government archivist who retrieved the file for The Australian yesterday expressed surprise the file folder no longer held any documents.
He said it was “highly unusual”. It was unclear whether documents were removed before or after the file was transferred from the relevant government department. The documents would show what the WA government was told before it agreed to register the association....
Harry Nowicki, a Melbourne lawyer who is researching AWU history and Ms Gillard’s role in the slush fund, said yesterday it was “very troubling that two files about the same fraud have disappeared—one from Slater & Gordon, and now the other from a State’s official archives"…
