SM,

Furthermore on Julian Burnside regarding Heydon:

"The man Prime Minister Tony Abbott cited to defend the embattled head of the royal commission into union corruption actually thinks Dyson Heydon should stand aside.

I think an honourable person caught in that position would step aside

Mr Abbott on Friday relied on comments from one of the Coalition's most strident critics, barrister and human rights advocate Julian Burnside, that Mr Heydon was "an honourable person" to deflect criticism of Mr Hedyon's decision to speak at a Liberal Party fundraiser.

Mr Burnside made the observation on Thursday evening when stating that Mr Heydon, a retired High Court judge, would never have knowingly agreed to speak at a party fundraiser.

But in comments that undermine Mr Abbott's defence, he appeared not to be aware that Mr Burnside had already on Friday expanded on his assessment of Mr Heydon, saying "Heydon is an honourable man. I give him the benefit of the doubt. Maybe he is honourable enough to step down."

"Mr Abbott on Friday described Mr Heydon as a man of "the utmost integrity".

"Someone who knows him very well and who's no great friend of this government Julian Burnside QC, has said this morning that he's a man of honour, and he is a man of honour," Mr Abbott said.

Mr Burnside told Fairfax Media that as a man of honour Mr Heydon should resign.

"I think an honourable person caught in that position would step aside," he said."

Paul,

I knew that the Greens were openly racist against the Jews with their BDS, but this is the first open link with the KKK. I suppose that it is time the two fringe racist parties cooperated.

Parrot,

I guess then that you will be wanting the Labor MPs that were to attend the talk to also resign.

I suppose that next you will want any judge that has ever expressed a political opinion banned from presiding over any case that has labor involvement.

TURC is an investigation into trade union corruption, and has been turning up dozens of cases of blatant law breaking. That Labor and the greens gets most of dirty money from the unions is no secret, now they are making it clear that they are happy for the corruption to continue in their name.

Shadow, any Labor MP that makes out a cheque payable to The Liberal Party should resign.

You have no understanding of impartiality when it comes to a blatant exercise in union bashing, with its get Labor agenda, and that is what this RC is about.
Haydon has blown any pretense of impartially, not that he had much to begin with, when he agreed to front and support a meeting on behalf of a political party (Liberal Party) which is well known for its anti worker, anti union, anti Labor, pro employer agenda.
What Haydon agreed to do on behalf of the Liberal Party would be akin to a commissioner from the Child Abuse RC agreeing to act as a church acolyte on Sundays at his local Catholic mass. Haydon has to go.

Paul,

TURC is the ICAC for organised Labor. TURC in its short time has already covered up more corruption and criminal activity than ICAC ever did, and until now labor and the pedogreens were all for exposing corruption, except now that it threatens the stream of dirty money funding the pedogreens, suddenly labor and the pedogreens are all for a massive cover up. And all this noise is on the most tenuous connection with the liberal party.

Either you are anti corruption or not. Make up your mind.

Time for Heydon to come clean! Was yesterdays explanation more one of convenience, rather than one of truth. Heydon claims that although he received the Liberal Party flyer advertising the event as a party fundraiser, he did not read it, yet anyone seeing the flyer would on a cursory glance observe that in bold type it clearly indicates the event is a Liberal Party fundraiser. Come, come Heydon pull the other leg!
Professor of Law Frank Brennan said "Heydon's now cancelled speech, could be an instance of apprehended bias. If no adequate explanation were offered...the commissioner should surrender his commission to the Governor General." No such adequate explanation has been forthcoming, Heydon should resign!

Shadow Minister posted "(The) TURC in its short time has already covered up more corruption and criminal activity than ICAC ever did,"

Totally agree with that statement Shadow, Heydon is doing his best to to cover up his fondness for all things Liberal Party (aka The CORRUPTION Party)! Well said Shadow, well said ten out of ten for that one.
