Dear Poirot,

I think the Commission should be allowed to
do its job. The voters can assess the findings.

Well Foxy if the commissioner does change it won't make much difference.
All the research and investigation appears to be done by experienced
detectives and lawyers. Then barristers prepare the questions to be
put to the witnesses and the commissioner collates and writes his report.

As far as I can tell that is how it is run. The evidence is public so
the public can read it and make their own conclusions.
Seems to me that bias should be a more sensitive matter with the
investigators and lawyers. They have the opportunity to suppress any
matter that suits their bias. However there is probably too many people involved for that.

Dear Bazz,

We can only trust and hope that this results
in a genuine union reform - which is long overdue.

Foxy, yes indeed. It is interesting, it seems the faceless men are no
longer faceless men according to the CFMEU's barrister it seems.
He actually insisted that the unions control the ALP.
He did not quite use that language but it was clear that was what he meant.

Another phenomena that I think I can see is that Victoria is taking over Canberra in a political putsch.

That alone would be enough reason not to vote Labour.

Yup, it's fascinating....

Watching Abbott deploy a Royal Commission to beat the unions around the head.

Taking money from the RC into institutional child abuse and funnelling it into the union bash. Heading it up with a hand-picked commissioner who has "Liberal loyalty" written all over him.

A commissioner who all but ignored Jackson's shenanigans in his interim report.

A commissioner who went out of his way to criticise Shorten's responses.

A commissioner who went gung-ho in trying to make something stick with Gillard - and failed.

A commissioner who accepted the Lib Party invite because he thought the RC would be done and dusted by then - except that Abbott, determined to get as much mileage as he could from the set up, extended it.

But good old karma, as usual, comes along to give Abbott and his contrived RC a good kick in the pants.

Lol!

Dear Poirot,

Did you happen to see "Four Corners," on
Bill Shorten, and the Unions last night?
