When It Comes To Sleaze...


… nobody does it better than the Gillard Government!  Watch a few of the grubs begin their desperate climb out of the decomposing maggot-ridden carcase that is the Gillard Government because of its embracing of Dodgy Brother, Peter Slipper.  This is the price of political stupidity when you try to be too clever by half and you are absolutely desperate to cling to power.  Sleaze knows no boundaries when it comes to the Gillard Government but the Slipper scandal must be seen as the ultimate in political self-sliming and this ridiculous mob of Union hacks and cronies will never be able to shake off the rancid goo.  Peter Slipper has carried a foul odour for many years and the morons knew it.

Justice Steven Rares tossed out of court a sexual harassment claim made by Staffer, James Ashby against defrocked House of Reps. Speaker, Peter Slipper yesterday, stating Ashby’s claim was politically motivated.   This decision, in itself, sets a new low for Australia’s legal system.  Political favouritism has overtly entered our court system.  I'm not suggesting Justice Rares hung his political sympathies banner along the front of his Bench.  Heavens no!  We know our Judiciary is impartial!  More will be written on Rares’ rather interesting determination later, once legal circles stop blinking and after we know whether Ashby intends to appeal the decision.   There may have to be a whip-around to help raise the necessary funds to mount said appeal.

Gillard Government Grubs (henceforth known as ‘G' Men.  And women.  Can’t forget the Handbag Hit Squad!) are having a field day.  They think they have been delivered a seriously smoking Magnum by Justice Rares that will surely blow to smithereens the Coalition’s  AWU/HSU/Thomson arsenal and cause the electorate to reel back on their heels uttering “golly”!   They have been handed a water pistol and the Socialist morons are on the slippery side of stupid.  I am sure Abbott, once elected, will rip the scab off the festering sore which is the Australian unions via an enquiry into corruption and dirty dealings dating back quite some time. 

The Federal Australian Labor Party (the inane little band of Union-controlled kiddies running this nation.  Currently.) expect the Opposition to stoop to the level they set some time ago; a cesspit never before seen in Australian Politics.  People – for in my opinion, they are not a politician’s backside – 
such as MP Craig Emerson hyperventilates; "This is a conspiracy of enormous proportions, and Mr Abbott will hope that it simply blows away and then he can get on to his next smear campaign,"   Emerson would love to farm it into a ‘conspiracy of enormous proportions’ to take the heat of his ex girlfriend and the same ex girlfriend of the crook, Bruce Wilson, of the AWU/Wilson/Gillard/Slushgate scandal.  Emerson’s ex-bonk is, of course, Prime Minister, Julia Gillard.   The ‘jobs for the boys’ bell has never peeled so loudly – from ministerial appointments to those of the judiciary.  Gillard has performed well in the way she has handed out appointments to protect her posterior!

The Gillard Government knew the risk they were taking when they appointed  Peter Slipper to the respected position of Speaker.  It was a blatant political move to hang onto power.  

There is another backfire coming and it will not be hitting the Coalition.  All Coalition leader, Tony Abbott, has to do is keep feeding out the ropes.  Yes - there is more than one!

Slipper 'conspiracy' likened to Australian Watergate
By chief political correspondent Simon Cullen
Updated 2 hours 38 minutes ago

 Labor has stepped up its attack on the Coalition amid the fallout from the failed sexual harassment case against Peter Slipper, describing it as a "conspiracy of enormous proportions".

The Federal Court yesterday dismissed the case brought against the former parliamentary speaker by one of his staff members, James Ashby, declaring it was an abuse of process designed to cause "significant public, reputational and political damage".

Justice Steven Rares believes the predominant purpose of the case was to further the political interests of the Liberal National Party (LNP) and former Howard government minister Mal Brough, who has been preselected as the Coalition's candidate in Mr Slipper's Sunshine Coast electorate of Fisher.

Government frontbenchers are demanding Opposition Leader Tony Abbott disendorse Mr Brough and make a detailed statement about what involvement the Coalition had in the court case.

"This is a conspiracy of enormous proportions, and Mr Abbott will hope that it simply blows away and then he can get on to his next smear campaign," Labor frontbencher Craig Emerson told AM.

"Mr Abbott will probably want to continue circling the earth and not land and answer these basic questions: What did he know about this? What does he mean by 'no specific knowledge'?"

Mr Abbott is on his way to the United Kingdom after making an unannounced visit to the troops in Afghanistan.

Brandis Ups The Ante


The Coalition has stepped up its attack on the Prime Minister, with Liberal senator George Brandis using parliamentary privilege to suggest Julia Gillard broke criminal laws while working as a lawyer in the early 1990s.

Ms Gillard has consistently denied any wrongdoing in relation to her role in providing legal advice to establish the Australian Workers Union (AWU) Workplace Reform Association while working at Slater & Gordon.

She has said she believed the association's funds would be used for legitimate purposes.

They were instead used by her then-boyfriend and former AWU official Bruce Wilson as a union slush fund, although he denies financially benefiting from it.

Speaking in the Senate, the shadow attorney-general said it was clear Ms Gillard knew the association's funds would not be used for their stated purpose, which was for the advancement of workers' rights.

Instead, Senator Brandis said she knew the funds would be used for the "private purposes" of Mr Wilson and fellow union official Ralph Blewitt.

"There is no doubt - no doubt whatsoever - that at the time she was involved in setting up the slush fund, Ms Gillard knew what its purpose was," he told the Senate.

"Indeed, the choice of an incorporated association as the entity to hold the funds for union election purposes was Ms Gillard's brainchild.

"It is already clear, that from (the association's) inception, Ms Julia Gillard's involvement in this matter has been characterised by concealment, deception, professional misconduct, and it would appear several breaches of the criminal law."

                                        ********************

I watched Question Time again today and all I can say is:  This disgrace of a Prime Minister obviously doesn't want to incriminate herself in the House.  It's a serious offence.

Senator Brandis is no fool.  He knows the law and I am sure he has researched this matter thoroughly.  I hope he keeps the pressure up whilst the Senate is sitting.

Parliament rises tomorrow for the summer break.  I have no doubt this story will continue and eventually, the truth will out.  The fate of this Prime Minister should be known shortly.

Making Your Mind Up!

I've made mine up, Ms, Gillard.  How about you?

Judgement & Credibility - AWU Scandal

Yes, this entire saga goes straight to the judgement and credibility of Julia Gillard who is currently Australia's Prime Minister.

Incredible!

Here's a News Limited article that covers quite a bit of ground.

http://www.news.com.au/national/awu-scandal-why-it-matters-and-what-you-need-to-know/story-fndo4eg9-1226522812935

Is is too much to ask for honesty from our Prime Minister?  Just a little bit of honesty?  Are Australians heartily sick of being lied to?  Let's start with the lie "There will be no carbon tax under a government I lead".

There must be a full investigation into the Union movement and the lead players in Australia.  Why?  Because whilst this federal Labor government has the power, it's Union power.   The Unions control this government.  Full stop.  Remember, those faceless (Union) men who dislodged a sitting Prime Minister and installed Julia Gillard into the role.

We have one Union-related scandal after another at the moment, all involving corruption.  The HSU, the AWU, the CFMEU, and the appalling case surrounding NSW State Labor currently in the spotlight as the dirt flies via an ICAC Inquiry..

How can we have faith in the leadership of this country when the Unions are operating sock puppets?

Keep An Eye On This Man

John McTernan, Prime Minister Gillard's Media Advisor

Here's a nice observation piece by Samuel J at Catallaxy

John McTernan: taking Julia Gillard down
105 comments

Those in Labor seem to treat Gillard’s spin merchant, John McTernan, with awe and reverence. He is supposed to be the brains behind Gillard, and is responsible for the present attacks seeking to brand Abbott as a misogynist.

I think she has chosen badly – McTernan’s tactics have always failed. Rather than helping his master stay in a job, McTernan has ensured the master’s removal.

From a range of relatively junior positions, McTernan became Tony Blair’s spin merchant in late 2005. By June 2007 Gordon Brown had unseated the Prime Minister.

Then he helped take out his next master, Des Browne, Secretary of State for Scotland in 2008.

Then he saw off Jim Murphy, the next Secretary of State for Scotland in 2010.

He took up his present role in Gillard’s office just over a year ago (September 2011), and it is only a matter of time before McTernan takes her out too.

McTernan’s true genius is making people think he is helping while quietly undermining them.

Gillardgate - The Series

The Gillard/AWU/Wilson saga keeps on giving.  I haven't included the background yet but this post is a start - towards the end, I suspect.

Readers who are unfamiliar with this scandal may go here  if they are interested in a truckload of serious background information.

How can important Court, Government and Law Firm documents just disappear?

Surely, we are not witnessing a massive cover-up!

Watching The Children Play A Game Called Politics


Repost from Andrew Bolt's Blog:
Nicola Roxon made a goose of herself in June, playing politics with a court case: 
The Federal Government has launched an attack on the sexual harassment case against embattled Speaker Peter Slipper, saying it is politically motivated.
Lawyers for the Commonwealth yesterday told a Federal Court that former staffer James Ashby, who is suing Mr Slipper for sexual harassment, colluded with another staffer, Karen Doane, to undermine Mr Slipper’s reputation and advance his political opponents…
They allege Mr Ashby gave information to former Howard minister Mal Brough and to News Limited journalist Steve Lewis.
Federal Attorney-General Nicola Roxon says it shows the case against Mr Slipper was politically motivated…
“It will be clearly shown and this will be argued in the court that there was in fact clear intention to harm Mr Slipper and bring his reputation into disrepute and to assist his political opponents and that was the purpose for the bringing of this claim,” she said.
So much for that conspiracy Roxon was going to prove: 
In a bombshell development, the federal government has settled its case with James Ashby, the aide to the stood-aside Speaker of the Parliament Peter Slipper, for $50,000 and a commitment to introduce training for all MPs and senators regarding sexual harassment.
The settlement between the commonwealth and Mr Ashby was reached on Thursday and detailed in a three-page letter of offer from the Australian Government Solicitor.
Mr Ashby’s lawyers, Harmers Workplace Lawyers, accepted the deal on his behalf. Mr Ashby had sued the commonwealth, alleging it had failed to provide a safe workplace.
Separately, Mr Ashby has sued Mr Slipper with allegations of sexual harassment, supported by records of lurid text messages sent by the Speaker to Mr Ashby.
Mr Ashby’s case against Mr Slipper continues and is listed for an interlocutory hearing at 10.15am on Tuesday. 

And doesn't Australia’s Socialist Government’s ineptitude show itself again with the case involving Australia’s Attorney General, Nicola Roxon.  In my opinion, Roxon is too inexperienced in Law to have been appointed to such an important position, given her comments made whilst matters were before the Court.

The political motivation behind this deplorable situation is not that of the Coalition, but that of this Federal Government and it’s disgraceful.

I hope James Ashby follows through with his threat to now sue the Commonwealth and Roxon for defamation and contempt of court.

Marine Taxi Service (the Australian version)


Asylum seekers rescued off Indonesia
Updated 3 hours 0 minutes ago


A boat of asylum seekers have been rescued off Indonesia and are being taken by a merchant ship to Christmas Island.

The boat was 45 nautical miles south of Java in the Sunda Strait and is believed to have been carrying about 180 people.

Full story here:   http://www.abc.net.au/news/2012-09-22/asylum-boat-with-180-on-board-stricken-off-java/4275636

Another call went out yesterday for an Australian marine taxi service!  Why were they not returned to Indonesia?  They were, afterall, in Indonesian waters, were they not?

This matter of backdooring Australia's immigration laws is now beyond farcical.  It's obscene. I hold both the Rudd and Gillard Labor Government fully responsible for the appalling state of our border control.  Further, the current Labor Government should be held accountable.  They were the ones who dispensed with a solid working policy of offshore processing and Temporary Protection Visas.

Since this incompetent mob has been running the show, over 20,000 backdoorers (I understand) have entered Australia at the expense of desperate people waiting for years in refugee camps.

I am not against legal immigration, provided it is controlled.  I am, however, strongly against people who pay large amounts of money to criminals to get a seat on a boat headed for Christmas Island or other parts of Australian territory.  It's even more galling when these people deliberately dispense with identification papers obviously in their possession when they left their country of birth and travelled through other countries to reach Indonesia.  I am also very suspicious that credible and diligent investigation is not being applied to these 'stateless' people prior to their release into the community.

Australia, unfortunately, is changing.  To her detriment, in my opinion.  I have no faith in the current Government to do the right thing for all Australians.  I have no faith in the current Department of Immigration, nor have I faith in the current Minister for Immigration, Chris Bowen.  I contend people are being pushed through the revolving immigration door because it's expedient.  I suspect people are being given the all clear to enter our community when, in fact, the reverse should apply.  I also consider the burden on Australia's welfare system is becoming unsustainable.  Where are the checks and balances in relation to these recent arrivals with regard to whether or not they are rent-seeking or actually contributing to our society?  I would be interested to know the numbers of immigrants granted access to this country who are gainfully employed compared to those immigrants who are accepting welfare.  The figures would be worthy of some scrutiny.
