You have one thing incorrect there SYS 4.
Trustee 1 (as he was known then, or assistant federal secretary as he is known now ) is not paid by the members.
His wages are paid for by Qantas, just as the majority of the ALAEA federal executive wages are.
There will always be the opportunity and suggestion that corruption exists when wages and indeed positions and promotions, oversea's junkets etc are handed out by the company rather than by the members.
