I would have thought that the capacity of Fair Work Australia to act in relation to accountability, if the opposition are interested in accountability, would actually be a relevant issue. The opposition would be aware that the government's amendments included, for example, the requirement of officers to disclose personal interests, the requirement of disclosure of payments being made to related parties, new detailed rules about record keeping and what a permissible use of organisation's funds is being more clear to members.
