579,

The accusations against Juliar are not of a criminal nature, they are accusations of poor judgement and incompetence.

As a 35yr old partner in a senior law firm any claim of youthful indiscretion is more than a little dubious. This supposed top notch lawyer set up a legal entity, hid it from her partners and was completely oblivious of what occurred in the entity she established.

The Sargent Schultz defense (I know nuthing!) might work to keep her out of jail, but makes her look very stupid. As a PM being stupid is not a virtue.

The FWA did bungle their findings, they did not have any interviews to back up the findings. It could all be fairy-tales. This was known months ago. That did not worry the coalition.

Mr Rabbitt was very happy with the findings of the FWA, was clean cut. He done it whatever it was.
If it had of been a police case they would have got it in the first place. Witch hunts are not police business.

Kinda makes you feel all warm amd fuzzy, don't it.

One can only dream about where we would be right now, had so many not fallen for the most deceitful campaign in modern history, the mighty Kevin 07.

Well, I hold my head high, knowing I didn't contribute to this mess, both times.

Agreed Rechtub,
I gave up voting after the first Howard government, in a multicultural society all politics is identity politics and since there is no way for me to vote in my own familiy's interests or those of my ethnic group I'm a conscientious objector when it come to elections.

The" Gillard constructed and appointed FWA" blah blah blah.

Rubbish.

The FWA is just a rebadged IRC with the same representatives but working to enforce a different set of directives - like the PMG became Telecom and then became Telstra.

The current officers were NOT appointed by Gillard, they were appointed directly by the Governer General on advice from a Government Minister, just as the Governer General is appointed by the Queen on advice of the Prime Minister.

Mr Lawler (whose own corruption scandal is looming and should become public before the next election) was appointed on the advice of Tony Abbott when he was Minister for Industrial Relations and can only be removed from office by a full Parliamentary vote, not by any government individual.

Among all of the half-truths and lies, at least get some of the facts straight.
