The Gillard Government

Jump to new
I think that Gillard's affair with Wilson has given her a lift in the polls. It gives them the romantic aura of a Bonny and Clyde relationship and they got away with it.

 
During the 2007 election the libs got routed after releasing their policies with a "Me too" approach from labor. Labor just copied everything the libs had released. So that might be why they have held off on the big picture policy.
Small business is moving to stand behind the libs and big business will no doubt do the same. Small business has been bent over consistently by labor and there is little chance of wining them back.

I was reading that Bosses in larger companies must push Union membership as well (or something along those lines). Probably need a top up of fees before the election to run their BS ads again.

As for tony as a man he seems like a strong person, as PM I'm not so sure on his abilities. Even some of the libs front bench. But they do $hit on anything labor has got going at the moment.

THE whistleblower at the centre of the Craig Thomson union scandal has been referred to police in an official complaint over mysterious payments that included wages paid to the sons of her partner, a Fair Work Australia official.

True to form nothing gets done to craig, but the one that blew the whole thing open will be crucified.

 

I applaud Pickering or anyone else who attempts to reveal the truth about Gillard.

However, Pickering would like to make out that he's squeaky clean, when in fact he most definitely is not.
Contrary to Pickering's claim that he's never been involved in any fraud, Pascoe is correct in revealing Pickering's involvement in phony computerized horse racing and stock market schemes. I personally know a woman who paid almost 4 grand for one of his horse racing software programs. I told her it was a con and it wouldn't work. I kept in touch with her to see if it did. It didn't.
The promotional video featured Pickering living the good life, driving around in a Jag and relaxing on a luxury boat while he tuned into the radio to hear 'his' horse come home a winner.....'his' horse being the one picked by his computer racing program.

Pickering was never actually convicted of fraud, or even charged with fraud to the best of my knowledge.
Our inadequate justice system makes it extremely difficult to get a fraud conviction against the con artists who come up with dodgy schemes to separate the unwary from their money. ASIC no sooner shuts down one con scheme, and next thing the conman pops up with a new one.

I’ll continue to applaud Pickerng’s efforts to bring down Gillard. But I’m certainly no fan of the man. In some of his past actions he’s shown himself to be an unscrupulous person of poor character.
For anyone who wants to Google it, there's plenty of info on the net about the various scams that Pickering has been involved in.
 
Jon Faine on Melbourne ABC radio in a tizz abbout it this morning too, vigorously defending Gillard.

Agree and with muck racking on Gillard cannot see the trend continuing.

I don't think Gillard's got any thing to answer to but the associated smear will damage her regardless.

Unsubstantiated allegations are a nasty part of politics unfortunately all sides participate.

Continues to be a race to the bottom.
 

wow talk about blind support, nothing to answer for?
 


If she has nothing to answer, then why doesn't she authorise the release the recording and transcript from Slater and Gordon? Surely, that would substantiate her claim that she has done nothing wrong?

Agree. If the leader of the Opposition were a more appealing choice, Gillard's rating would soon descend exponentially.
That's pretty pointless. Costello has made it crystal clear that he has no interest in returning to the fray.

Yes, my money in the honesty stakes would be on Michael Pascoe every time.

You really don't think she had the faintest idea that her boyfriend was engaging in corruption?

but the associated smear will damage her regardless.

As it should, imo.

Agreed. So depressing.
 

It is strange that no matter how bad a government is and how nasty and unscrupulous the leader is. That is overlooked as long as you can run a smear campaign on the opposition leader.
Obviously the pommie has got it right.LOL
 
In case of emergency, break glass, read message.

Message: say attacks are gender based.

What's the excuse with Craig Thomson. Brendan Nelson. Peter Slipper.

Yes what a crock, why dont these people run the country properly instead of spending all day in attack mode defending themselves, that's all they do all day, plot, attack and defend, while pensioners eat cat food and homeless people sleep under newspapers.
 
Cat food is actually quite expensive. Have you ever actually known a pensioner who ate it?

It seems that some of the interview has been released and confirms that no file was opened. And Gillard can’t categorically rule out if union money was used to pay for her renovations. If you are pay for things from your own bank account, then surely there should be no doubt? Seems very strange, imo:

Andrew Bolt has some of the interview on his blog: AWU scandal: the Gillard interview

And more comments here: The AWU scandal: What Gillard’s 1995 interview reveals/
 

If that transcript is to be believed there is certainly something odd going on. Just the fact that her boyfriend started renovations on her place while she was away on holiday (without her approval) seemed very strange to me. I would have been furious is someone had done that to me
 
Here is a bit more to chew on:

IS OUR PRIME MINISTER A CROOK?:



It was a warm Sunday morning in Fitzroy in late 1992.



Bill Shorten and his lover Nicola Roxon had struggled out of bed late and were heading up Brunswick Street for breakfast when Bill noticed a couple they knew having coffee opposite.



They waved, crossed the road, and sat down with Julia Gillard and Bruce Wilson. The conversation concerned no more than the weather but Julia was overtly gesticulating with her left hand. It bore a sizable stone in a white gold ring. “You guys are engaged!” exclaimed Bill. Julia blushed. Nicola looked askance at Bruce.



Julia was excited, in love, and it showed. But Nicola was aware that Bruce was bedding a number of other women, and it showed too, as she lowered her head and glared at Wilson. Wilson was known in AWU circles as “Wilson the Rooter”.



To understand Julia Gillard we must first visit her history.



It was impeccably Left. During her time at the University of Melbourne from 1982 to 1991 she was an active member of, and helped incorporate, the “Socialist Forum” (later to become the Fabian Society) an unabashed Communist organisation backed by none other than the infamous Bill Hartley and well-known Communist activists, Mark and Bernie Taft.



The “Forum’s” main role was to apply pressure within the ALP to adopt radical Communist policies.



Gillard’s commitment to the cause had led her to convince her parents, who were avid Dustan supporters, to join the South Australian Communist Party.



Gillard claims she does not recall her advocacy for redistribution of income and many other Communist aims although she was Public Officer, Secretary, and legal adviser on the drafting of the “Socialist Forum’s” Constitution.



Her compatriot, Phil Hind, regularly visited the former Soviet Union and returned to zealously promote the radical “reforms” of the Kremlin.



Gillard openly experimented sexually with other women but her main calling was to men.



She left The University of Melbourne to join the Left wing Law firm Slater & Gordon. A firm she was later to be sacked from for “indiscretions”.



Bruce Wilson was a well-practised AWU thug who extorted major developers. AWU members’ dues also found their way to his own private piggy bank.



Wilson now needed Gillard. She was the perfect target and he had carefully cultivated her for reasons other than his regular hormonal flushes.



The $17,000 of union funds he had spent at Town Mode Fashions wasn’t solely for the benefit of Gillard.



Wilson needed an industrial lawyer who would turn a blind eye and feign innocence when setting up fraudulent AWU accounts.



He also needed a fall guy called Ralph Blewitt. Gillard was later to draw up a Power of Attorney so as Wilson could act for Blewitt. Blewitt trusted him. He should not have.



Ralph Blewitt sent me this only this morning:



G'day Larry.



So we must fly a rebel flag,



As others did before us,



And we must sing a rebel song



And join in rebel chorus.



We'll make the tyrants feel the sting



O' those that they would throttle;



They needn't say the fault is ours



If blood should stain the wattle!"



Henry Lawson.



Regards Ralph.





Gillard’s current claims of “young and naive” do not apply to her complicity in widespread fraud. Those claims apply solely to Wilson’s false declarations of love for her.



As partner in the law firm it would be stupid as Prime Minister to suggest she was “young and naive” when she was clearly instrumental in the blatant fraud. She has not denied her complicity but claims she didn’t know what it was for. Mmmm, ok.



But Julia should not feel lonely. Wilson defecated on everyone he met.



Slater & Gordon aided and abetted the fraud. The AWU sacked the law firm and turned to the other infamous Left wing Law firm, Maurice Blackburn, where Bill Shorten and Nicola Roxon were resident.



It is Slater & Gordon’s ex- and current employees who are now daily leaking devastating information on the activities of this listed law firm. The ASX and ASIC will no doubt be taking an interest.



In Part IV, the AWU divides into two camps: Kernohan and Cambridge want the fraud exposed. Shorten wants it covered up. Shorten wins, for now. And we find out where Paul Howes sits and if his “zero tolerance for union corruption” is mere bluster in the pursuit of self preservation. Regardless, with what is about to be exposed, Gillard’s tenure can now be measured in weeks.
