pelican like you I think it is shameful more did not find the maggot ofencive.
I too, have to say many including me, knew about him and others who should serve prison terms with him.
Hopefully long ones.
The Terrigal,s, that group met the maggot at his home in a place named that, may well feel shamed.
I truly and honestly think it is not party wide, but a NSW illness.
On the road treform, a long way to go, but progress is speeded up by Robinson, state Labor leader, and Rudd,s intervention.
Any hope that this disgusting mess will lift greens or sink federal Labor are unlikely to eventuate.
Greens have, no not bias fact, peaked,and are running as fast as they can from middle Australia.
Labor like other states, will pay in the place the crimes took place NSW.
no EXCUSES PLEASE NSW filth belong in prison and their cash in consolidated revenue.
Paul, please consider, you once haunted the ALP with your ever present wish for far left policy,s.
You more than any here should see the loss of Bob Brown and the rise of two squabbling women is pushing your vote down, not up.
If ever your party should gain votes it is now but clear polling tells us they are shedding votes.

A certain Mr Steve Dunn was mentioned. Is he the same Mr Dunn that NSW Premier Barry O'Farrell contracted as an 'independent' expert to do a job on the Games Council?

You really wonder what is going on in NSW politics.

<It is understood Mr Obeid lobbied several ministers over the leases. In 2009, NSW Maritime issued new 10-year leases to the incumbents along the wharves - including to the Obeids' front company - and again without a competitive tender. The minister at the time was Mr Tripodi, and the head of Maritime was Steve Dunn, Mr Obeid's chief bureaucrat when he was fisheries minister.

Mr Obeid's diaries show he met privately Mr Dunn no fewer than 11 times. Records obtained by the Herald demonstrate Mr Dunn showing a keen interest in the Obeid leases at about the same time as these meetings.

On Friday, December 7, 2007, for example, they met at 10.30am at the Sydney Hospital cafe. Five days later, Mr Dunn, then the general manager of the Maritime property division, emailed another Maritime employee to ask for Mr Abood's telephone number.>

Belly, Nathan Rees said this scandal would cost Labor up to 3% in NSW. I think Nathan is being a little conservative about the impact.
Been told today the Liberals have some damaging Obeid info, on a NSW Labor luminary which will hit the fan next week. If true I'll be very interest as to what he has to say.
My partner had an intro to your man Robbo on Friday, she said she likes him, I told her not to be fooled by the bald head.
Beach the Obeid shops at Circular Quay, another dirty one that should make interesting reading. Its now clear that NSW was being run out of Obeid's parliamentary office and there are people in Federal Labor that need to explain their relationship with this scumbag, and if they can't, then Rudd should give them their marching orders, quick smart.

It is my belief Nathan, a man whocame out with clean hands, said 2 percent.
Paul a warning.
My link, straight out of 1975 should remind those of us who care for this country of a fact.
Power and privilege, held in the hands this time of one little grub, not the two then, is about to inflict a single persons will on us all.
Murdock, is a walking talking action taking danger to all who know just what an Abbott government would do to our country.
Arjay, and others talk of conspiracy's, mostly unbelievable ones but this thread points to a real one.
Paul you have every right to HIGHLIGHT NSW FILTH.
But you by your wish to improve your partys vote, by stretching the truth?
You link your pony to your worst nightmare in the name of your self interest you serve an evil truth power beyond our belief is on the march..

Belly, how am I stretching the truth? Given the release of the Obeid diaries by the ICAC. Should Matt Thistlethwaite (trying to replace Garrett) the Labor candidate for Kingsford Smith disclose the content of the 15 meetings he had with Obeid,in Obeid's parliamentary office, at 4 of those meeting Joe Tripodi was present. These meetings took place from October 2008 to September 2009. What was discussed? All Thistlethwaite has said is the meetings were "private". Should the voters accept that explanation? I think not.

Paul no more than two months before the Latham election/Debacle, I was one of many in a crowded room.
We came together to hear Latham tell us he had dropped the local branches pick Thisle what ever.
He hand picked, over the wishes of the locals the departing Minister,who had to join the part first!
I have no clue what Mat was doing in all those meetings.
And in fact join you in wanting an answer.
Be aware bloke, the very best of intentions can still harm if facts are ignored.
Are you prepared to answer two questions?
If you are
Number one, is your intensive anti Labor stand evidence you want to take voters from the ALP.
Two are you prepared to look at the seeming truth for every voter your side has *at least eight, maybe nine* want only your party,s death?
Consider the last with great care.
As rude as some will find it it too is quite true, only at the point of many guns could your party ever gain power here.
