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.

Sub-prime Credibility


I rather like the description “Sub-prime” as it may relate to our Prime Minister,  Julia Gillard.  I didn't coin the phrase but I wish I had.  In my opinion, she has to be the worst Prime Minister leading the worst government Australia has ever had the misfortune to suffer.  Even Gough Whitlam’s ALP government was not as bad as this current mob of incompetents.

The Prime Minister is not having a good week.  She is still fielding questions about her role in the AWU slush fund scandal as an equity partner at the legal firm, Slater & Gordon advising her boyfriend at the time, Bruce Wilson.  Wilson slushed nearly half a million dollars his own way after Gillard did the legal work on the AWU/Workplace Reform Account.

In my eyes, Ms. Gillard has zero credibility.  In the eyes of this nation, I believe her credibility is taking a fair whacking.  Deservedly.  The woman can’t or won’t answer a question directly.  Julie Bishop, Deputy Leader of the Opposition has posed a number of questions to her in Parliament.  This woman simply will not give a direct answer.  The average Joe can only take that one way.  The Prime Minister does have something to hide.  PM Gillard has attempted to deflect, Ms. Bishop’s forensic questioning for the 2nd day in Parliament Question Time by not answering, by deferring to her non-direct-answers during the 2nd of two long Press conferences and by blaming the Opposition for running a dirt file and a smear campaign.  Her hypocrisy knows no bounds!  Her Government IS the Government of smear.  Remember the Australia Day Race Riot orchestrated by her own staff to smear opposition Leader, Tony Abbott.  That’s just one example of the tactics of this disgraceful regime.

Gillard also lambasted Ms. Bishop for having a 10 minute meeting with the con man, Ralph Blewitt who played 2nd fiddle in Wilson’s two member band.  Hello?  This woman must have conveniently forgotten her own long association with Mr. Blewitt.  She was so familiar with Blewitt, she didn’t charge him for legal work.  You can only shake your head and shed a tear that this is the sort of untrustworthy creature currently running this country.

Gillard stupidly laid into Blewitt on Monday during the second of two lengthy press conferences.  After Gillard had finished unloading on Blewitt she said “His word against mine?  Make your mind up.”  Good question, PM Gillard and here’s my answer.  I’ll take Blewitt’s word over yours any day.  I deplore liars.

Last night, (27/11) the ABC managed the scoop of the week.  They wheeled out the ex-boyfriend, Bruce Wilson for an interview on the weekly television current affairs segment, 7.30.  Any person with a brain that functions watching Mr. Wilson trying to defend Sub-prime would have picked up the body language pretty quickly.  They would have fallen to the ground in fits of laughter when Wilson declared he had no case to answer with regard to his own involvement in the disappearance of monies from the unauthorised entity, the AWU Workplace Reform Association. 

Gillard’s credibility has now sunk below sub-zero.  The ABC, by pushing nice, ‘credible’ Mr. Wilson onto the public stage loaded more guns and handed them to the Coalition.  In particular, Deputy Leader, Julie Bishop.  There are two more days of Question Time in Federal Parliament left for this sitting year.

Get your popcorn ready!

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?
