Finally the first charges laid in the Gillard/Wilson/Blewitt AWU frauds

[Dry Rot]

Looking forward to witnesses' evidence and more charges for others involved.

West Australian detectives investigating the Australian Workers’ Union slush fund scandal have charged former union official Ralph Blewitt with 32 counts of fraud over the misappropriation of more than $400,000.

Mr Blewitt, who is 71 and lives in Malaysia, has previously admitted to his role in using the AWU Reform Association fund established by then AWU boss Bruce Wilson while he was in a relationship with Julia Gillard.

What will Gillard be charged with?

What will Gillard be charged with?

Most likely nothing

Royal commissioner Dyson Heydon recommended Mr Wilson and Mr Blewitt face prosecution for fraud-related offences connected to the slush fund.

No recommendations were made against Julia Gillard , I cant see police charging her if the Commissioner found there was no recommendation. Though it depends on the evidence brought forward in any trial

That is why I couldn't understand why her name is in the thread title.

Cos she did the paperwork. The investigation into her was in Victoria but with the ALP back in power probably dropped.

But even with (must not say corrupt) Commissioner Heydon chairing no recommendations were made against her

To be honest I no longer care, I would prefer the country focus on current issues rather than crap from 20 years ago but by all accounts Vic Pol was the group investigating her and a lot of stuff was not presented to the commission.

Thanks for that but I happened to watch the RC and have no idea what you are on about except pushing your bias barrow.

Mods could we have the thread title changed to "Finally the first charges laid in the Wilson/Blewitt AWU frauds" to more accurately reflect the content of the story?

Having an excruciating accent.

Love is blind.

Actually I really would have liked to have seen her as PM without the baggage of Rudd and the manner in which she got the job.

Think she would have been great.

She's still better than anything we've seen since Keating.

Yep, Dyson did a poor job. Evidence in this trial should be entertaining. Blewitt wants to nail the other two crims.

Rubbish. Gillard is up to her neck in all this.

 

[Dry Rot]

Surely you jest.

Of those that followed Keating, Howard stands head and shoulders above the rest, which really are utter garbage.

You could argue that she'd come first or second out of Rudd, Gillard, Abbott and Turnbull, but that's like winning the best and fairest at the wooden spoon club.

She broke her election promises and wasted the opportunities she had. She developed a tin ear and thought that any criticism was misogyny.

John Howard pissed the mining boom away, sent us to war in order to suck up to the older boys, and put the country into structural deficit. You must be very impressed by the ability to walk round Sydney Harbour in Wallabies tracksuit

Out of the woodwork he comes, you know you are wasting a post responding to me don't you?
Speaking of broken promises and wasting good will and opportunities, hmm what was his name? That's right Tony (forgotten his last name, think it starts A as in a-hole).

Don't forget the gold reserves he sold.

At rock bottom prices no less, economic geniuses!

John Howard pissed the mining boom away.

Howard did not piss the mining boom away. He gave tax relief to the members of society who were the most productive.

Most reputable economists would disagree with this.
