tithin posted:https://www.google.com.au/url?q=htt...PI4cN38TIjKG4cw A damaging feud between the senior executive of one of Australia’s largest unions and her own board remains unresolved after a potentially career-ending disciplinary hearing was abandoned amid accusations of bias. A meeting of the national executive of the Financial Sector Union convened to hear charges of gross misbehaviour and gross neglect of duty against national secretary Fiona Jordan was yesterday adjourned while the union board seeks legal advice on whether it is too biased to determine the charges. The truncated hearing, which was shifted at late notice from the ACTU’s Melbourne headquarters to the third floor of an Irish pub, failed to remove the impasse between Ms Jordan and senior union officials she accuses of undermining her attempts at reform. Instead, the hour-long meeting appears to have created a fresh grievance, with the national executive refusing a request by Ms Jordan to have a support person present at the hearing. Under the Fair Work Act, an unreasonable refusal by an employer for an employee to have a support person present when termination is discussed can be grounds for unfair dismissal. Prior to the hearing, Ms Jordan was informed that the charges against her were serious and if found guilty, the penalty would range from censure to removal from office. Ms Jordan was denied legal representation at the hearing. Her chosen support person was an industrial relations consultant who has no affiliation with the union. The meeting was chaired by union president Louise Arnfield. A date to resume the hearing was not set. Ms Jordan, a long-serving home lending manager with Westpac popularly elected to the union’s top job 18 months ago, has previously lodged a bullying claim and the industrial equivalent of a restraining order against the union’s national executive. Those complaints are yet to be dealt with. ACTU secretary David Oliver has tried without success to mediate a truce between Ms Jordan and one of her leading critics within the FSU, assistant national secretary Geoff Derrick. The venue for yesterday’s meeting, the Celtic Club in Melbourne’s CBD, was the scene of an ugly confrontation during a break at last year’s FSU annual general meeting, when supporters of Ms Jordan and the national executive clashed heatedly. Ms Jordan claims that a former union employee now advising a senior Victorian government minister told her shortly after she was elected to a four-year-term that the national executive “are going to peel you like an onion.’’ The national executive, which includes the national president, assistant national secretary, state secretaries and representatives from banks and financial institutions covered by the union, believes Ms Jordan has damaged the FSU and put at risk sensitive wage negotiations by publicly declaring war against the board. In an open letter to members published in September on the union’s website, Ms Jordan accused a “hostile’’ national executive of taking “a series of extraordinary actions’’ to block her reform plans for the financially-troubled union. “I understand the importance of having a functional organisation and for the national secretary to be answerable to a board as well as to the members,’’ she wrote. “But the level of corrosive, disingenuous and unaccountable behaviour has meant we have reached an impasse.’’ The national executive has sought to curtail Ms Jordan’s influence over the daily running of the union by introducing a series of rule changes which give the board more control over management decisions. Those changes are being resisted by some union members, who have circulated a petition in protest.

I think dying on his way to the Royal Commission would be a fitting way for Pell to go.

MonoAus posted:I only ask because I often see cyclists on the road riding parallel to purpose built bike paths. Not really an attack, was just wondering why. I cant speak for everyone else, but on my ride to work most of the bike lanes are dual-purpose bike lane/street parking. I consider it less dangerous to just ride in the car lane than weaving in and out of the bike lane into the car lane and back every time I need to avoid a parked car.

Does he not understand the meaning of homophobe? Does he think because Shorten used it earlier in the day that it's just some random insult you throw at people?
