Re: Labor MP accused of rorting union credit
Griffith is just the silk from central casting - you know Kings School, UNSW, Rosebay Rugger Club - does some admin law but is mostly an appellate court commercial boy. The same can't be said for the person advising Abetz who is a great fella but long time Liberal party connected (has been offered pre-selection a number of times) and was on the executive of the HR Nicholls society.
Look I don't want to appear that I condone or forgive any of the s**t that has happened on this - but Bernadette is the least culpable.
The whole thing is disgusting
Thanks C. Besides Vehicle Builders what else are her qualifications to be appointed GM or FWA and who appointed her?
I also asked about Griffith's connections with Labor and/or unions.
Handing material over: if this is quite common, why did the DPP quickly issue a statement saying they needed the evidence FWA had amassed?
How is the DPP to make an investigation without the evidence, Contra, since the FWA refuses to assist.
I would still like to know your opinion, as a lawyer, as to the advice the Sol Gen apparently gave the FWA that it does not have the power or discretion to assist police enquiries?
Would ASIC not be supplying the evidence in similar circs?
Re future resignation ...-
So far, O'Neil has relied on "advice" NOT to release the report publicly; NOT to assist with police inquiries and now NOT to supply DPP with the evidence its report is based on.
So perhaps its what she's not done that should be looked at?
and btw seeking "advice" from lawyers is a favorite ploy of govts and agencies when they want a shield for covering up. As an sure you know only too well
I just say again, since the moment O'Neil walked out the door from estimates nothing has changed. If it is others who are "managing" her or obstructing her then I would expect her to resign as a matter of principle.
