After 7 years as Queensland Division’s Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Organising & Recruitment Officer, we bid a very sad farewell to Phil Mairu. Phil has been an energetic and effervescent presence around the NTEU for a long time, and members and colleagues are going to miss him a great deal.
