Take it from cohenite, that his link to "analysis" from his favourite weatherman blog (amateur climate science in action, folks!) has far more veracity than any report by the World Bank.

A veritable "fiasco"....,"exaggeration and lies"!

cohenite has spoken.

Herbert, Passing Off, is indeed relevant to the AWU association set up by the PM; other possible 'offences' include contravention of the AWU's own rules such as Rule 51:

There is also the issue of contravention of Section 43 of the Associations Incorporation Act.

The problem with these other possible 'offences' is that they may be constrained by Statute of Limitations; A Section 170 offence is not.

If the Coalition go into next years's election sticking with Abbott and his team, they will deserve the hiding they are likely to get. Even after having been clearly shown to be as dodgy as (Tu quoque - A retort accusing an accuser of a similar offense or similar behavior - is this really as good as our PM can do?), Gillard seems to still have Abbott's number, is anyone not weary of Bishop's Darth Vadar stare, and how credible is Hockey as Treasurer?
If, on the other hand, they reinstate Turnbull as leader and give him a credible team, the whole country would breathe a sigh of relief. It's a slam dunk if they want it.

A Case to answer?
Says who?
The same people who want her job!
And indeed, it would seem, say anything, promise anything, go to any lengths, to force the PM to an early election, preferably before the polls worsen, for a now line ball opposition.
Her own handwriting?
Where's the evidence or conformation of actual wrong doing.
A letter possibly penned 20 years ago, on behalf of a fee paying client proves nothing save, she was a very capable solicitor; and or, just doing the job her client was paying her for, to the best of her ability!
Moreover,I know a former bank manager, who, in his own words; and only to expedite positive financial outcomes for his clientele, was quite capable of producing credible copies of the handwriting, of his banks richer clientele?
Assert all you will.
Assertions and or assumptions and louder and louder shouting, prove nothing, other than increasing desperation!?
As the PM replied to this increasingly odious and now decidedly counter productive, mud slinging campaign, put up or shut up!
Or better yet, repeat the barely veiled allegations of criminal behaviour, outside the coward's castle of Parliament, or the anonymous protection, of online opinion; and or, a bogus name!?

I don't want her job; I want her job done by an honest person with the interests of Australia at heart; anyone who thinks Gillard has the interests of Australia at heart is in a coma.

I am not a politician nor a legal person , however, my common sense tells me IF our PM had done anything wrong, surely she would have been charged under our laws? I have faith in our laws. And didn't Mr. Abbott say it was worse to lie to the ACIA (?) than the Sydney Morning Herald?

Can anyone refresh my memory on John Howard's actions when Ms.Hanson was a pain in his side?? And, when his brother was granted a bail-out to save his company??

Let he (or she) who is without sin, cast the first stone. Our PM has done nothing (legally) wrong, let her do her job and run the country (NO, not into the ground!)

IF this is a legal case, fight it out in court, IF it is a moral case ... let it go. I, like a lot of others, am just so over it.
