An invitation written on a Liberal Party letterhead obtained by Fairfax Media says the $80 cost should be made to the Liberal Party of Australia's NSW division. It also calls for donations if people are unable to attend.
"All proceeds from this event will be applied to state election campaigning," the invitation's fine print notes.

The real losers here are the Australian people. Most would agree that Australia's unions are rife with corruption, shady deals, standover tactics etc and there is a great need to shine a light on it all. There is also little doubt that this Royal Commission was always a cynical exercise by Tony Abbot to discredit Labor and help his waning chances of being re-elected.
The RCTU has become a dismal political fiasco, tainted by both sides of politics and one can only assume a colossal waste of taxpayers money.
