Only a short time ago I questioned Labor's values after a string of convictions of Labor MPs. (This was followed by Gordon Nuttall's claim that he was doing nothing wrong.)

Michael Quigley looks as though he will fit into the ALP business model very well.

I can imagine the interview

"Do you have a criminal record?"

"Why do you still need one?"

Thanks bloke,another post that talks more about you than Labor.
If corruption exists , and if it can in any way be linked to the government,I will be the first to call for prison terms for all.
No further comments in this thread for me.

A whifff....Come on Shadow! Spill the beans:)

If your trying to boil the water in bellies head.....Its working..lol

Weak and provocative leap, not unlike every thing you ever posted.
Along side you Shadow Minister is a gentleman.
He knows he is not getting to me, and I know I am not hurting him.
Just verbal tennis.
Surprise me,post just once, and not use that post to put some one down.

My only regret is the nuttal didn't spill the beans.

Perhaps he may fear for his life if he did.

My confusion is to why one gets less for murder.

Shadow Minister in the opening post first posts a link to a news item in The Australian headed 'Michael Quigley and US court records at odds' and datelined 12:00 AM 13 May 2011.

In the opening sentences of the post Shadow Minister appears to infer that the Michael Quigley of the news item is an Australian Labor politician, in saying:

"Only a short time ago I questioned Labor's values
after a string of convictions of Labor MPs. (This
was followed by Gordon Nuttall's claim that he was
doing nothing wrong.)

Michael Quigley looks as though he will fit into the
ALP business model very well."

The Michael Quigley of the linked news item is the chief of the Australian National Broadband Network, and is described in that item as having "... spent 36 years with Alcatel and [being] the group's global president and chief operating officer in 2005 and 2006, ...". He is not an Australian Labor politician.




There is an Australian Labor politician named John Robert Quigley who has, since 2001, been a member of the Western Australian Legislative Assembly. He is a barrister by profession, and was for 20 years legal counsel for the Western Australian Police Union. He is famous for having revealed the wrongful conviction (for murder) of Andrew Mallard, and for that has been ostracised by that union of which he had formerly been an honorary life member. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Quigley_(politician) . This online news item from 'Perth Now' contains a photograph of John Robert Quigley, Australian Labor politician and WA shadow Attorney-General: http://www.perthnow.com.au/news/western-australia/quigley-accused-of-bringing-legal-profession-into-disrepute/story-e6frg13u-1226037725081

Apart from the fact that both Michael Quigley and John Quigley are bald, neither person seems to fit the inferences Shadow Minister seeks to have drawn by readers of the opening post. Could we perhaps have a clarification as to just who was meant to be the subject of the opening post, and why?
