&lt;br&gt;Jackson used work credit cards and dodgy expense claims to cover up her systematic misuse of union money between 2003 and the end of 2010.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;The 52-year-old former national secretary was jailed in Victoria's County Court on Thursday for 24 months.&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;In total, she misused $102,892.82, and pleaded guilty to and was convicted of a combined four counts of obtaining financial advantage by deception.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;Ironically, Jackson in 2011 blew the whistle on corruption by former HSU national secretary and federal Labor MP Craig Thomson, and ex-union general secretary Michael Williamson.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;Current HSU boss Lloyd Williams told the court the union's reputation had been &quot;trashed&quot;, although he conceded not all of this was Jackson's fault.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;&quot;For a period, the HSU became a byword for corruption,&quot; Mr Williams said in a statement.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;He added Jackson had never apologised to the union or its members for her misconduct.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;She spent to money on shopping trips to India and Hong Kong, and holidays to [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-bali-tour-du-lich-bali-indonesia-4-ngay-3-dem-tu-ha-noi-tu-sai-gon-hcm-may-bay.html tour bali giá rẻ], the US and Europe with her children, then-husband Jeff and subsequent boyfriend Michael Lawler.&lt;br&gt;
