Dear Austin Powerless,

My apologies. However, I did not change your
moniker in the way you did mine. I did not
substitute a totally different name to the one
you had chosen. There lies the difference. I
merely used the initial of your last name - not changed it.
This is customary practice in posting. For example -
David F., (instead of David Fisher) and so on.

As for answering your question. If you have read the
"Fair Work Australia Act," as you cite from it -
then you surely must know
that the established legislation for Fair Work
Australia gives the body independence - and "It's
President is not subject to direction ... by and
on behalf of the Commonwealth (s583)." The Prime
Minister cannot and should not interfere with its
work.

The Prime Minister believes in due process taking place.
She has stated that she believes in "innocent until
proven guilty."
Mr Slipper has not been charged with anything - as a matter
of fact Mr Ashby is suing the Commonwealth (not Mr Slipper).

Nobody has seen the report from Fair Work Australia - not even
the PM. And I dare say that when it does come out - we shall
be made aware of what's involved. Of course people yourself
included - can
follow what's written in the media - and make their own
judgements and speculations.

But that's all they are.

The Liberals seemed not bothered by Slipper's transgressions when they continued to support his candidacy.

Pots and kettles.

Slipper was a dreadful choice for Speaker though, and it is a shame that a strategic move overshadowed good governance and integrity.

'Slipper was a dreadful choice for Speaker though, and it is a shame that a strategic move overshadowed good governance and integrity.'

You are right Pelican however it goes unnoticed thanks to such a sleazy corrupt alliance of traitors (independants), Labour and Greens.

I am only going with the reports that the FWA act, for example in cases of harrassment by employers, treats the employer as guilty unless/until he/she can prove otherwise.
If there is evidence to the contrary, could you point me to it?

I only used the name Foxy as I thought that that was your previous OLO name. Foxy's posts were of an identical format to yours and claimed an almost identical ethnic background to you.
If I was wrong, I am sorry if you were offended.

Dear Austin Powerless,

Thanks for the apology. Perhaps I was being a bit
"precious." I just prefer the name "Lexi," is all.

Anyway, regarding Peter Slipper - I don't think
he's been charged with "sexual harrassment," by
Ashby. I read somewhere that Ashby's suing the
"Commonwealth" not Slipper. I'm sure if you were
to Google the subject - you'd come up with the
appropriate link. If I find it - I'll post it for you.

Dear Austin Powerless,

Here's the link I read originally:
