While at first I was reluctant to put up a thread on this issue given the lack of information, Gillard's interview on Australian agenda showed that she is simply not prepared to answer any questions on the issue.

The new information that has emerged over the weekend is not criminal, but certainly raises questions:

1 Against company policy, Gillard did not open a file for the establishment of the legal entity for Mr Wilson, for which Gillard offered no explanation. While this could be completely innocent, it had the effect of shielding this work from the other partners.

2 It would appear that Gillard's resignation from S&L was not entirely voluntary.

3 Gillard's responses to questions posed by the investigation appeared very lawyerly and non committal.

4 G&L's statement did not exonerate her, only "nothing could be found that contradicted her statements"

If Gillard has done nothing wrong as she claims then she needs to nip this in the bud. Holding all her cards to her chest has cost her huge damage in the Thomson and Slipper sagas.

birds of the feather flock together. No wonder such a reluctance to act on Thomson. The Labour party and Catholic church have much in common (ie see no evil, hear no evil) unless of course its Abbottphobia.

What is the charge this time.

From the link below:

>>2011 :Julia Gillard has appointed Bernard Murphy as a judge of the Federal Court of Australia. When the $1 million fraud and theft of the AWU hit the fan in 1995 Gillard and Murphy both left Slater and Gordon lawyers around the same time as Gillard’s boyfriend Bruce Wilson left the AWU for his part in the fraud and theft.<<

Rats off a sinking ship.

>> In an affidavit the AWU’s then joint national secretary, Ian Cambridge, raised specific questions about the role of Gillard’s law firm, Slater & Gordon, in the purchase of a Melbourne property by Wilson. “I am unable to understand how Slater & Gordon, who were then acting for the Victorian branch of the union, could have permitted the use of funds which where obviously taken from the union, in the purchase of private property of this nature, without seeking and obtaining proper authority from the union for such use of its funds,” Mr Cambridge said.” The above also relates to Bernard Murphy given he was Julia Gillard’s boss at the time at Slater and Gordon.<<

>> Ms Gillard and her boss at the time at Slater & Gordon, Bernard Murphy, who was appointed a Federal Court judge six months ago, were overseeing much of the firm’s legal work for unions including Mr Wilson’s AWU national construction branch.”<<

Dead skunk in the middle of the road, and it's stinking to high heaven.

With Thomson, Slipper, and the asylum seekers, Juliar appeared to think that ignoring the problems would make them go away. This strategy failed miserably, and only made it worse when she was forced to act.

This is why I am really surprised that she thinks it will be any different this time. There are material questions as to her integrity, and her intransigence is beginning to look like a cover up.

Oh it gets worse all right, the Slater & Gordon mystery was years ago but the allegations of interference with the freedom of the press are fairly fresh:

Remember "Crazy" Mark Latham hinting that the Thompson affair was just the tip of the iceberg, not so crazy after all eh?
