PM under pressure as parliament rises - The Australian



The Prime Minister helped overcome official objections to the establishment of the AWU Workplace Reform Association by writing to the Commissioner for Corporate Affairs in Western Australia.



Personal intervention: JULIA Gillard admitted during a secret internal probe to writing to a government department to help overcome its objections to the creation of an association for her then boyfriend and client, union official Bruce Wilson. A record of interview between Ms Gillard and her law firm, Slater & Gordon, in September 1995, reveals the association was initially regarded as ineligible because of its "trade union" status. Ms Gillard overcame the obstacle by writing to the Commissioner for Corporate Affairs in Western Australia in 1992.
