The Heath Services Union ended its affiliation with the Australian Labor Party in 2011, in the wake of several high-profile fraud cases against union officials. The New South Wales branch of the union has approached Labor about renewing its affiliation, and state secretary Gerard Hayes says it has changed over the last few years. He has also stressed that his push for reaffiliation is not motivated by political ambitions.
