Walsh denies ACT pre selection union claim
Gordon Walsh said he had joined the Administrative and Clerical Officers Association when winning the Labor Party preselection ballot for the ACT, but ACT ACOA president W J King denied any membership. The credentials committee questioned some ballots cast on October 26, 1968, and Walsh produced join applications as evidence. King later wrote that Walsh’s nomination had been accepted without proper checks amid several ineligible applicants. Walsh plans an appeal to the ALP Federal executive and a possible second ballot.
