It is well known I am no fan of Gillard.
And lifetime unionist, once official, but for longer a workplace Delegate.
I have not much memory of these events.
I left my life,s love ,my union for 18 months, became delegate for another, not in competing with it.
17 or 20 30, years ago, we if we looked would find dirt, hidden or exposed it existed.
In almost every walk of life, to some degree.
I have despised it always, and I always will.
But some of it, like the knowing miss use of truth in SOME of Tomson,s electorial funding.
THE KNOWN LIE it was used by him, not just a bit naughty over allowed donation to get him elected.
Every party does it
GILLARD? would it be any different in any relation ship, would a woman do favors for her lover?
I would send the two blokes to prison for ever!
But the woman I do not trust like want leading or maybe even in my party?
Has she been so wrong, would you do that for your partner? could it be just why 17 years have past without it being uncovered?

Belly, for as long as we have the absolutely despicable and totally anti-democratic donations regime in place, everything else that is deemed to be dishonest is just piffling in comparison!

The current decision-buying regime of political funding from big business is just as dishonest and downright disreputable as you could ever get!

THIS is where we should be directing our concerns about dishonesty! Or at least, if we are going to be critical of Gillard or Abbot or any politician for lies or misleading statements or the misappropriation of funds or whatever whatever, or the perception thereof, we should be putting ten times as much effort into fixing the incredible dishonesty of both major parties and indeed of our whole political system.

To do just the former really makes no sense at all.

Belly, I'm with you on this one.

Governments must have researchers, both sides, paid by us to simply dig dirt on each and every front bencher. I think it's getting beyond a joke.

One has to question, who running the country when all this mug throwing is going on.

Perhaps the blame should lie with Captain Cook, after all, had we not been discovered..........?

Mug throwing?? ( :> |

As a lawyer she was happy to assist in ripping off thousands of unionists.

As a polly she is happy to rip off millions of tax payers.

Leopards don't change their spots, & you have to be pretty dumb not to spot this one as a shonk.

Has been, I agree with what you are saying, all i am suggesting, is something that happened 17 years ago, relative.

Ludwig, good old typo.
