NewsShaw Loses Key Advisers
Two of NSW Industrial Relations Minister Jeff Shaw's key staffers will leave his office in the New Year to pursue careers in the law.
Chief of Staff Adam Searle is taking long-term leave to qualify for the Bar, while senior policy adviser and former union official Bruce Grimshaw is moving to law firm Turner Freeman's industrial practise. Both played key roles in ensuring Shaw's office was the most accessible to unions of any of the Carr Government ministers. Despite the changes, Shaw insists that he is not going anywhere. Shaw says his office has had the benefit of a great deal of stability over the term of the Carr goverbnment, which he says is "farily unusual in the rough and tumble of state politics". Workers Online understands Shaw will be recruiting replacements from within the union movement.
