Patricks Footnote


Just as a matter of interest and in regard to the MUA and Patricks. I notice in yesterdays Sun Herald 4.3.01 that C Corrigan sold his house to Rene Rivkin for $10 million +. And this is the sod who was trying to smash the union movement with his good mate Peter Reith not too long ago.

Regards

Maureen King
