One thing's for sure. All is not well between Julia Gillard and Slater and Gordon now.Doc, I heard on the Bolt show today we can expect some fire works over the AWU slush fund and Gillard's involvement in the dodgey deal with Wilson and Slater and Gordon.
''I was not in charge of the conveyancing file,'' she told journalists during a visit to Laos.
But Slater & Gordon managing director Andrew Grech has confirmed Ms Gillard ''acted directly'' in the conveyancing work on the property purchase.
Agree with Julia, if you are going to clear one, clear them all, it has been rife along the board for years, not just the Catholic Church, state care, institutions, boy scouts, sports bodies, the list goes on.
It was Abbott that brought up the Royal Commission, saying he would agree if it was widened to all.
Within half an hour, Gillard said she would.
With friends like Mark Latham, Julia Gillard doesn't need enemies.
According to Mark, you don't dob someone in to the police after you break up with them. Listen from about 10min50sec. Some insights into Labor there I suggest.
The economic skeleton in Labor's closet continues to rattle.

It would help in that normal life experiences (including with sex) would help facilitate and maintain an appropriate culture.Don't think allowing priests to marry would help
The church is a haven for pedophiles and sex offenders
Can't disagree Dr Zacchary. Go to a Mass, it's all old folks. Force-marched as a kid, it was all in Latin, the priest with his back to the congregation. Fall into line, or it's a one-way ticket to Hell. Down there with Robert Johnson, Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix and Cliff Richard. Sorry Keith Richards.It would help in that normal life experiences (including with sex) would help facilitate and maintain an appropriate culture.
The removal of the current crop of offending clergy is also a critical foundation for the necessary cultural change.
After last night's performance, Mark Latham is still digging, both for himself and Julia Gillard.Thats right smithy - its not right to dob in someone you broke up with but its OK to have affairs with married men (multiple times).
- that no proven crime could have been reported to the police by Gillard. (That’s not the test, Mark. No crime is ever “proven” when it’s being reported to the police, as I tried to tell him. Only complaints or suspicions of possible criminal activity are reported. Then it’s up to the police and the courts. Incidentally, Latham ignored the apparent duty of Gillard to also notify the AWU.)
The disclosure by Wayne Hem forms part of a contemporaneous and confidential 150-plus-page diary that was kept by the then AWU joint national secretary, Ian Cambridge, now a Fair Work Australia commissioner.
Consortium pulls plug on $1.2bn solar energy project
THE Solar Dawn Consortium has confirmed it no longer plans to develop its beleaguered Western Downs facility, dashing any hopes of resurrecting the nation's largest solar energy project.
The $1.2 billion Solar Dawn project - which was to begin construction of a 250 megawatt solar thermal power plant near Chinchilla in 2013 - was dealt a blow earlier this year when the Newman Government pulled out $75 million in funding.
About 300 new jobs were expected to be created as a result of the project, along with indirect support for as many as 100 jobs.
A statement posted on the Solar Dawn website confirmed the Consortium was no longer ``pursuing development'' of the facility.
"The Solar Dawn Consortium has today confirmed that although it remains committed to Australia's large-scale concentrated solar power industry (CSP), it will no longer be pursuing development of its proposed 250MW solar thermal power facility in South-West Queensland,'' it said.
"The announcement follows extensive discussions with the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) on options to move the project forward in response to dynamic market conditions.''
Comment from the Federal Minister for Resources, Martin Ferguson, has been sought.

Another backflip.......
AND
Well, call me stupid, but introducing a Carbon Tax and repeatedly harping on about Climate Change/Global Warming (hell, there is even a Climate Change Minister - Greg Combet), then cancelling this project, is just taking the piss on the whole issue. What a joke this Government is.
