That is a nice gesture then. Not like I would ever give pay back that i am forced to take.

The board at my company negotiates the level of my pay. You think I am going to argue with them that they want to pay me a million a day.

Jackson had enough common sense and dignity to question it at the very least.

THE whistleblower at the centre of the Craig Thomson union scandal has been referred to police in an official complaint over mysterious payments that included wages paid to the sons of her partner, a Fair Work Australia official.

Kathy Jackson, the former union boss turned informant, was the subject of a formal police complaint lodged just days before the HSU was put into administration in June.

A dossier of allegedly unexplained payments totalling more than $150,000 and relating to Ms Jackson's former HSU branch has been handed to the Victoria Police unit investigating Mr Thomson for allegedly using the union's funds for escort services - a claim he denies.

The separate claims relating to Ms Jackson include wages paid by the union to the children of Ms Jackson's partner, the vice-president of Fair Work Australia, Michael Lawler. The document claimed the wages had not been disclosed as related party transactions - as required.

There was also $58,000 in allegedly unaccounted for EFT payments to Ms Jackson's former husband and HSU official Jeff Jackson.

Police have also been asked to investigate $36,774 in payments from the union to a consultancy company which lists Ms Jackson as a director.

The Daily Telegraph has obtained a copy of a formal letter of complaint lodged with Victoria Police Commissioner Ken Lay on May 22 - and referred to investigators. The letter was signed by then HSU East acting secretary Peter Mylan, who was brought in to replace its former secretary Michael Williamson - the subject of a separate NSW police investigation into alleged fraud at the union, which is also denied.

Sources confirmed Victorian Police are expected to broaden their investigation into Mr Thomson to include the claims against Ms Jackson.

Ms Jackson yesterday appeared unaware a formal complaint had been lodged and said police had not contacted her: "They haven't spoken to me. If (anyone) has any allegations against me they should refer them to the proper authorities. Good luck to them."

Documents relating to alleged payment of childcare fees for Ms Jackson's son, the disappearance of several computers, $12,500 in postage and shipping reimbursement to Ms Jackson and a $22,000 payment to a Hong Kong woman were also included in documents referred to police.

well if she has something to explain then well she should..and if the money needs paying back then so it should..

she could always claim she was young and naive of course..

Or that she was a downright thief - that sounds better. But don't say it near a wall lest you get punched

Is that your first accusation against gillard?

Not yet - I will be the first to make some though - if the evidence is there to prove it.

Maybe she doesn't want the other stuff investigated?

Here is a video from Kathy Jackson and I suggest you follow the information from a site that is not a labor mouth piece to get at the truth

http://www.abc.net.au/7.30/content/2012/s3507772.htm
CHRIS UHLMANN: To $270,000?

KATHY JACKSON: That's correct.

CHRIS UHLMANN: Doesn't that seem a little excessive...

KATHY JACKSON: Yes, it does.

CHRIS UHLMANN: ... for someone who represents some. Poorest workers in Australia?

KATHY JACKSON: I agree with you but let's look at the history of this. As I said previously this was rammed through the council, by Michael Williamson and his people. We objected to it. The Victorians ran a case against it to the council, it was in camera.

I wasn't at the meeting. We were asked to leave. The New South Wales councillors rammed this proposal through.

At mediation last week in the courts, as part of that mediation, process, I put my hand up and said that I should get at least $100,000 salary cut, and that was rejected.

Many of you may remember that Jackson told us all numerous times, including when interviewed on 7.30, how she fought hard to have her pay reduced, because she thought she was hideously overpaid, it turns out she voted in favour of the pay rise. Surprise, surprise…

You do have a link to that of course!!

do you know for sure she voted for it dna????.. or are you just saying what you have read in the paper... or were you there when the vote was taken??

you have made every excuse under the sun.. for

THERE WILL BE KNOW CARBON TAX UNDER A GOVT I LEAD..

yet in other cases you make no excuse whatever...so I assume you were there at the time. and a first hand witness.

I have never seen where she has been asked if she voted in this pay increase.have you?

If you read what the article this thread is discussing it is what was given as the reason that she is trying to pay the money back out of funds that she is claiming the union still owes her.

As is pointed out also in the article it was her friend who done the report that the wage increases were based on.

you have made every excuse under the sun.. for

You will never pay any carbon tax and you can not even explain why the fixed price in place can legitimatly be called a tax.

You have no understanding at all of the point you keep on making.

She is making the point supposedly that she is being paid too much against her will - if you believe that but at the same time asking for more in terms of rorts apparently?

You going to tell me that you find it believable?
