 Brad Norington, Hard labour for a trailblazer
It was a shocking adjustment for George and the entire ACTU crew as government patronage - in the form of access to ministers and funding of union projects - suddenly ceased.
George was never a person of ideas; her strength was always that of an articulate campaigner, a talent that Kelty, as the ACTU's brains trust and most influential figure, believed she could bring to the job in adverse circumstances.
George gave a lot of media interviews and rousing speeches to lift the spirits of the union troops - but she never commanded the battle.

 Crean's hearse awaits and Albo's behind the wheel - smh.com.au
In fact, Albanese - or "Albo", as he's known across Labor - and NSW senator George Campbell, a Belfast-born ex-union official for 27 years, head a sub-faction of the federal parliamentary left against the Ferguson sub-faction, a rival group headed by former ACTU president Martin Ferguson.
The significance of this is that when Crean dies in a ditch some time in the months ahead in defence of his withered leadership, the Ferguson group will be there to the last in the bunker with him, notably Martin, brother Laurie, Daryl Melham and Warren Snowdon, the Ferguson Left's Four Amigos.
Nobody is closer to Crean than Martin Ferguson, the union colleague who replaced him in 1990 as ACTU president (and was in turn succeeded by Jennie George, an Albo ally).
