Gillard was living with Bruce Wilson in the Kerr Street house. Union officials have confirmed that, when they visited the house on union business, even on weekends, Gillard was running around in her dressing gown. Although she owned another house in Collingwood it was known by one and all that she was living with Wilson.

HOW THE SCAM WORKED

In the late 1980s, the West Australian Government established the Building Construction Industry Training Fund (BCITF) into which all contractors for projects in Western Australia paid a levy which was supposed to fund training.

Bruce Wilson, the WA and Victorian Branch Secretary of the AWU established a dummy 'incorporated association'. It's alleged Gillard set this up for him (her handwriting is expert-verified as being on the paperwork). Once established, Wilson set up a bank account in the name of the association, the AWU Workplace Reform Association. The account was operated in Perth between April 1992 and April 1995.

Wilson then funneled funds meant for training construction workers into this account for his own benefit.

Wilson duped developers into paying into this unauthorised account. The developers believed they were complying with the government scheme. The money in fact became the personal cash cow for expenditures such as a home purchase, renovations and thousands of dollars paid to a women's fashion house.
