Do you mean with regard to having sent him an email? Or have I missed something vitally more important?

I'm not at all defending any politician who is not truthful, but isn't it just a fairly unimportant side issue if he did email Ashby for his Parliament House email address?
Isn't the actual issue still whether or not sexual harassment occurred and if the text messages can demonstrate this?

He also said his contact with him had been brief and then it was revealed that they drank for two hours together, alone.

So he has lied twice, what else don't we know?

It smells. That's the problem. Ashby is also a serial trouble maker, hardly the "innocent" victim he potrays.

"Regardless of legal threats and what seems to be a continuation of Ashby’s life of dramatic escalation, confrontation, litigation and media manipulation, we’ll chase this story to the end, alleged human rights abuses notwithstanding."

Kangaroo Court of Australia has this to say on the judge chosen to hear the case (unless the government somehow circumvent it). The writer of this article explains his claims:

Peter Slipper strikes it lucky and lands corrupt federal court judge Steven Rares to hear his sexual harassment case.

Who wrote that article ?

Calling a Federal Court judge corrupt is not a matter to be taken lightly. I couldn't find the writers name anywhere. It seems pretty gutless hiding behind a web site.

Have the judges decisions in any cases been overturned ?

The judge has been overturned (on at least 1 occasion I know) by the High Court, but that doesn't prove anything.

"Corrupt" is a pretty serious allegation and does not equate to "legally wrong". There's been no overturning because of bias or something similar.

Agree. I made the same observation a couple of days ago.
Imo if people are going to make significant allegations they should be prepared to attach their names to those allegations.

Rumpole, if you click on the "about" link on that webpage, it gives Shane Dowling's name. I guess he is entitled to his opinions and has given his reasons as far as I can tell.

Not hard to find the author's name at all...lol

This may be Slippery's chance for an "out" from Parliament on a Speaker's Pension.

It looks as if Ashby's claims will hit some head winds and Slippery's lawyer has indicated that Slippery is now unwell with all the stress of the accusations.

Perhaps he will move on to full-time godbothering and touring the world as an ex-Speaker.

I myself should have taken up godbothering. It seems such an easy way to get about.

Evidence today would vindicate my support for Slippery.

From the SMH, a left wing rag, not known to conflate the truth.

James Ashby, who worked as a media adviser to the Speaker of the Federal Parliament, Peter Slipper, worked to undermine his boss by giving information to a tabloid journalist and to his political rivals, a court has heard.
David Chin, the barrister for Mr Slipper, told the Federal Court today that Mr Ashby's lawsuit for sexual harassment has been designed to cause "political and reputational damage" to the Speaker and for the "political advantage of his political opponents in the Liberal-National party", including former Howard cabinet minister Mal Brough.

Should Slippery slip out of these charges it will be a travesty, that a fine upstanding God fearing priest such as he was pursued thus.

How could any of us consider a parliamentary seat if a priest, contributor to the taxi economy and fine dresser when robed, is treated thus.

Totally agree another blight on Australia s history right up there in the anals with the shooting of Mr.N Kelly and the sacking of Gough.
We need to pull together and come to some arrangement.
Wonder why my shares in KY gel wentup.
 
Thanks Glen

Nicola Roxon, a member of the frontbench of the ALP/Green Federal goernment, I believe she is the Attorney General on the ship of fools, has today quite rightly made an application to return Slippery to his former glory as chief of Silly Walks and Speaker.

From the Australian.

THE commonwealth will allege former Howard government minister Mal Brough was involved in formulating a sexual harassment complaint against Speaker Peter Slipper for political gain.

Attorney-General Nicola Roxon today said the commonwealth had filed an abuse of process application urging the Federal Court to throw out the case brought against Mr Slipper by his former staffer James Ashby.

It is now incumbent upon Archbishop John Hepworth, head of the Traditional Anglican Communion, with millions of worshippers, somewhere, to welcome Slippery back as a priest able to perform all the sacraments of the Traditional Anglican Communion, and to be Chancellor of the Traditional Anglican Communion.

Enough is enough.

A priest who put himself up for parliament for selfless service, who travelled widely and supported the taxi industry needs to be rehabilitated.

Give Slippery a fair go.

Julia Roxon has.

The government, supported by the ABC is busy gathering all the dirt it can on Ashby and anyone he has ever sent an email to.

In my opinion anyone who has assisted in trying to rid my electorate of the viral Slipper should be applauded. It is only natural that the Labor heavies , like Roxon and Albanese wiil stoop to to any level to protect this grub they have adopted.

Meantime back here in the electorate this man is despised and hated. We are without representation as Slipper represents no one but himself and his Labor masters.

Yeah, yeah, I know - we elected him. As preferable to the Labour alternative. We knew the man has few
scruples, but to become a rat who could be bought out, puts him beyond the pale.

I imagine the Labor voters in Dobell have similar misgivings about Thomson.

Labor will will leave no stone unturned and no mud unraked to protect the votes of these two grubs, so in essence it is a corrupt government.

So in the Thomson case it was always innocent until proven guilty and the Labor cronies kept harping about the coalition wanting to be judge and jury and let the court handle it all in the course of justice..
What a mob of hypocrites when the boot is on the other foot. Now who wants to be judge and jury on Ashby?.:banghead::banghead:

Ashby's only guilty of something if he lied, talking to others and taking advice means nothing, why shouldn't he, it doesn't even matter if he spoke up to help the Libs what does matter is if he lied and if Slipper is guilty of sexual harassment.
 
Yes, all the proofs have to be established beyond doubt before the hammer can fall.

Noco, you are I think, unfounded. Ever thought of going to Law School.

Don't lose any sleep over it Plod. Labor kangaroo courts will exonerate both of these grubs - Slipper and Thomson. They are their lifeline. Ashby will be the villain.

Kangaroo courts are the press and public opinion. If there is a real case to answer they will be dealt with.

We do live in a reasonable place where some justice still prevails.

Though Howard's mob covering up of the video taping of handlers at Sydney Airport placing the grass in Corbie s luggage I find a problem within me.
