Be interested in what you think after you've seen it drsmith
I'm yet to see it, but he claims to know where the money (some of it at least) went.

I would have thought that Labor would be discouraging him from engaging in ongoing public comment.
I cannot remember ever seeing such a nervous and uncomfortable interviewee. I'd love to hear Alan Pease's analysis of Mr Wilson's behaviour with its inability to make eye contact with the interviewer, repetitive touching of the nose with index finger etc.Om tonight's show, Julia Gillard's former boyfriend adds his 2-bob's worth.
Where is the poll that convincingly says the public think Gillard did it? Can you please link it?Did you notice the poll that came with the C-M article?
Does Bruce Wilson's statement change your thinking on the AWU scandal?
Yes
12.31% (174 votes)
No
87.69% (1239 votes)
Total votes: 1413
Wilson has less credibility than Gillard.I'll say one thing for Julia - all her ex-lovers stay loyal.

His answers were less than convincing imo, but perhaps he is simply unaccustomed to being in the public spotlight.
This affair becomes more bizarre by the day, with Mr Wilson's suggestion when asked where the money went from the eventual sale of the house, that Ralph Blewitt buried it in the back yard and then later, um, just destroyed that buried money. Oh my goodness.

First, the validity of the methodology of such a poll renders it meaningless.Where is the poll that convincingly says the public think Gillard did it? Can you please link it?
It's a contextless poll question!!!
No reference whatsoever to the public thinking "Gillard did it". The question was very clear: "Does Bruce Wilson's statement change your thinking on the AWU scandal"?Does Bruce Wilson's statement change your thinking on the AWU scandal?

The bit about Wilson having less credibility than Gillard (which infers she has little) and the fact that he has been kissing Liberal **** since I arrived on the forum?First, the validity of the methodology of such a poll renders it meaningless.
However, I don't understand your question to Calliope. This is what he posted:
No reference whatsoever to the public thinking "Gillard did it". The question was very clear: "Does Bruce Wilson's statement change your thinking on the AWU scandal"?
So why would you ask such a question?
Commenting quickly, he was very nervous to say the least.Be interested in what you think after you've seen it drsmith
What on earth are you on about? I didn't do anything 'to make you look like a fool'.Oh I see what you did there Julia.
You conveniently snipped Calliope's quote to make me look like a fool.
Seriously, screw this forum. That's just low.

Do you disagree that Wilson has less credibility than Gillard?The bit about Wilson having less credibility than Gillard (which infers she has little) and the fact that he has been kissing Liberal **** since I arrived on the forum?
I don't think you understand my question in the slightest.Maybe just read through the last several posts again, Ves, before you accuse anyone of attempting to paint you as other than you are.
.
The edited part is my main objection, because he is using the results of a contextless poll to represent an opinion that favourably resonates his own opinion.

CARO MELDRUM-HANNA: So just to clarify: Julia Gillard's role in instructing you to incorporate that fund, she herself filled out paperwork?
BRUCE WILSON: She filled out on the front page the words "Australian Workers Union", dash, "Workplace Reform Association." I think that was the extend of any writing that was put on it by her.
CARO MELDRUM-HANNA: So you maintain that no money from the slush fund was used on Ms Gillard's renovations on her home at that time. Was there also no money that you deposited from the slush fund into her account for other reasons?
BRUCE WILSON: I didn't deposit any money into her account for other reasons, and the only thing that may have happened - and I'm not saying it did or it didn't, I just don't recall - is the $5,000 that Wayne Hem... If he says - and Wayne was a nice enough guy; I mean, have no reason to be at odds with him - but if he says that happened then perhaps it did. I don't argue with that, but I just don't recall it.
CARO MELDRUM-HANNA: What was Ms Gillard's role in relation to the purchase of that property on Kerr Street?
BRUCE WILSON: Um... to the extent that she was involved, she signed a power of attorney - and as I understand it that was about the extent of it.
CARO MELDRUM-HANNA: In addition to signing the power of attorney, Ms Gillard, did she also not attend the auction with you?
BRUCE WILSON: Yeah, oh... to be honest, I hadn't even recalled that until I read about it, but as I did read about it I, yeah, that happened.
Oh I see what you did there Julia.

Labor MP Steve Gibbons has just cracked Julia Gillard's mirror.
He has called Julia Bishop a bimbo and then apologised, but not to Julie Bishop herself. No apology at all for the other descriptors.

Unless the coalition make some of this stick, they are going to have to make a plan B.
They don't seem to be getting much traction and the press won't help.
I think they would be better served pushing for an inquiry into the running of unions, there is enough grounds, one would think.
