Shadow Employment Minister Brendan O'Connor says the tip-off about 2017 raids on Australian Workers’ Union offices was a ‘conspiracy amongst ministerial officers to go after the federal Opposition.’ Mr O'Connor says the debacle involved criminal behaviour and cannot be cleared without the resignation of ministers. The raids in Sydney and Melbourne were looking into $100,000 in donations made by the union in 2006 when Opposition Leader Bill Shorten was the national secretary. Image: News Corp Australia
