Julia Gillard: They Attack because I am a Woman, Whaaaa!!

Gillard's corruption and dishonesty has to be exposed.

One does have to wonder whether we have an adult in the office of prime minister in Australia or just some silly little girl who makes the claims that it's all because she a women that she is being asked questions about her nefarious dealings in a developing a "slush fund" for a con artist who was her boyfriend at the time. Gillard throws up her hands and states that she knew nothing about this originally because she was "Young and Naive", at the time she was a lawyer and a thirty year old.

Originally ofcourse, she just pooh-poohed everything aside just like every dishonest left winger does as they "feel" that anything they do for the "cause" is excusable, justifiable and correct. She now claims that it was Larry Pickering who started this whole saga when in actual fact it was labour's former Attorney General  Robert McLelland, who first raised it in parliament a few months back. The same AG she sacked from that position to install the child like, pathetic incompetent Roxon, a brazen male hating feminist who has been associated with Sheilla Jeffreys, a radical feminist who attended the SCUM manifesto in Perth Western Australia in 2011 to work out a way of destroying men as lesbians do.

The entire saga has turned into a complete circus as the English media spinner, imported to deal with the vagaries that Gillard has generated herself by lying and cheating her way into office. The entire fraudulent episode in which over $ 400,000 worth of members money was stolen from the AWU (Australian Workers Union), has never been resolved, or recovered and no one has bothered to chase any of this up and no one has been made to answer the appropriate questions and no one has gone to jail over this, NO ONE.

The entire episode demonstrates the dishonesty and conniving actions of unions who have been supporting the Labour party for decades with millions of dollars of membership money and they are not answerable to anyone except themselves. The unions in Australia raise over ONE BILLION DOLLARS every year and no one knows where that money goes or where it is used.

The Labour Party has also demonstrated that they have hidden this, stalled and ignored any effort to find out where that money has gone or made any effort to have it returned. Nothing has been done to find out the real culprits because GILLARD'S name is associated with it and they have covered this up and buried it for the fear of exposing the criminal activities of the Union movement in AUSTRALIA.

GILLARD NEEDS TO RESIGN as she is tainted by this circus of thievery and dishonesty. Someone has to pay and the people who covered it up exposed. It is the way the law is supposed to work but in this case, it's the Labour Party covering themselves as way too many of those dishonest, corrupt individuals have been busy doing this for decades and no one wants to know why or how they go about it. Corruption is and has always been rife in unions worldwide because they are answerable to no one. They are above the law. Those criminals have to bought to justice.

IS OUR PRIME MINISTER A CROOK?:

Larry Pickering as well as the general population appear to think so as the polling suggests. Labelled as the worst prime minister in history, Julia Gillard as well as Slater & Gordon have a lot to answer.

The entire episode smacks of corruption, greed and illegal activities which no one has come to answer. Not completely anyway, one wonders who is doing the covering up on this disaster and why there is a prime minister in Australia whose is tainted with illegal activities, illegal manipulation of the law and questionable responses where she continually makes the claim that she has answered the question when she has not ever come near to explaining this entire menagerie of fraud and corruption.

Someone has to pay for this and that someone is Julia Gillard as one could assume that she is covering up as much as possible to keep herself in that position.

IS OUR PRIME MINISTER A CROOK?:

Julia wandered aimlessly around her Abbottsford home. She had been unemployed for almost six months since she was sacked from Slater & Gordon. Her money had run out and her boyfriend, Bruce Wilson, had run off. Those lost six months were to mysteriously disappear from her CV.
If only things could have been different. She now knew she could never practise law again and anyway her Practising Certificate was soon to expire.
Julia had put her neck on the line for that bastard Wilson. He had promised her the world and she got peanuts from their clever scam. He was safe back in Perth with his wife, Francine, and the boys. She was left alone and with nothing.
The truth was Julia had knowingly help set up the infrastructure for Wilson’s money laundering. With the help of another Slater & Gordon Partner, Bernard Murphy, she had drawn up the documents that allowed Wilson to open a fraudulent account through which the extorted funds were to be laundered.
She had set up a Power of Attorney for Wilson to act on behalf of his friend Ralph Blewitt in laundering the funds. Wilson and she were living in the Kerr Street home bought with the stolen funds including a mortgage arranged in the name of Slater & Gordon’s Senior Partner, Jonathon Rothfield.
“Fall guy” Blewitt was blissfully unaware of the mortgage.
When the Kerr Street home was sold the money vanished. Blewitt, the oblivious owner, did not see a cent.
Meanwhile, back in Perth, Wilson was living the life of Riley. He had bought a restaurant called “Rumbrellas” and had spent $330,000 on renovations. Unfortunately, although Wilson was a dab hand at stealing, his business acumen was appalling. “Rumbrellas” was soon in liquidation. Wilson was broke.
He asked his offsider Ralph Blewitt for a $20,000 loan. Blewitt refused. Wilson suggested to Blewitt that one phone call to Big Bill Ludwig and Blewitt would never work again. That wasn’t true of course but Blewitt loaned him the money anyway. The loan was never repaid.
Back at Abbottsford, Julia called a friend, Carol Pyke, who had ALP connections in Victoria and asked her if she would move in to help defray the costs. She did and Julia eventually sold her half of the Abbottsford property.
Despite her known involvement in the extortion/money laundering affair, Julia was still determined to enter Parliament. But each time she sought pre-selection she was thwarted by her own Party. Centre Unity faction members of the ALP insisted Julia Gillard, of the Socialist Left faction, was an unsuitable candidate because of the known scandal.
[Many years later, power broker, Mark Abib, was to negotiate Gillard swapping factions to allow her to become Prime Minister... and without reference to Caucus.]
The focus is now back on Slater & Gordon. Although a listed company they still refuse to come clean on what went on. Why was their client, the AWU, not alerted to the false accounts? Why was the AWU not told of the funds, the laundering, the house, the conveyancing, the mortgage, the profit from the sale of the house?
They refuse to release the conveyancing details of the Kerr Street property claiming privilege. Yet there is no privilege associated with conveyancing.
It was rightfully AWU members’ money. It was Slater & Gordon’s Partners Gillard and Murphy and senior Partner Rothfield who set the whole thing up!
Convicted Partners of Keddies Law firm, owned by Slater & Gordon, have outwitted creditors of millions, according to a report in tomorrow’s Sydney Morning Herald.
Disclosure of Freedom of Information documents is being thwarted by the Victorian Police. “Too busy”, they say.
They have sat on the application for two months and say it may be another two months. Regulations demand a period of no longer than 30 days.
In the meantime “Pickering Post” is being constantly attacked by hackers using DDoS.
They may silence us for a while but the truth will out.
Much more to come.

Julia Gillard Once Again Demonstrates her Arrogance.

Sold her soul to the Greens and lied to the Australian electorate. She has to go.

Again, the endless denials by Gillard is becoming an embarrassment to all in the government, not only because she appears incapable of being honest about anything, but her claim that she has already justified or explained her questionable, if not illegal behaviour, is far from being explained. Nothing has been forthcoming, no statement made stating precisely how involved she was or how she has benefited from associating while being in a relationship with the crook who lifted over $ 400,000 from the AWU Union members and other businesses. Gillard set up the slush fund account, now she claim she was only a naive girl at 30 years of age even though she is a lawyer. A claim which is ofcourse very heard to believe as it is so obviously ridiculous. One can claim to be naive at 16 years of age but not at 30. I ain't falling for that one.

Julia Gillard’s refusal to give answers is not likely to give a single person confidence - and certainly not her colleagues:

PRIME Minister Julia Gillard is facing new leadership concerns among key cabinet and caucus supporters over the revival of an alleged 17-year-old union slush fund scandal involving her former boyfriend…

Those fears were compounded yesterday during a fiery interview on Sky’s Australian Agenda, when Ms Gillard refused to address allegations raised against her…

This is a good example on how left wing socialists and especially feminists have a total disregard for honesty, dignity or honour. They only recognise their own self generated blame-free system, one that consists of destroying everything besides what they believe to be of importance. Lying, cheating and stealing, exaggeration and bare faced dishonest conduct, is their forte. They view as a credit or a positive trait that everyone should also have. Their arrogance and dishonesty is blatantly obvious and promoted as an alternative reality. They live a life where any end or outcome justifies the means. If lying, cheating and stealing is part of it, than it's just fine as long as they achieve that they are happy and if anyone dares to question that they are faced with claims of bias, racism or anything else they can find.

In reality, the Gillard Government did not get anywhere near the majority vote, the opposition party actually won with more votes but not enough seats to win government. Gillard sold her soul to the Greens and lied to the Australia people and hence has now the lowest rating any prime minister has had in Australia. So the lies continue as well as the misconduct.

Allegations were raised at the weekend by a former partner at the firm, Nick Styant-Browne, suggesting Ms Gillard may have acted improperly in helping set up a slush fund for Mr Wilson…

 Mr Styant-Browne said yesterday that he stood by the article and the claims made....

“I am not aware of any denial by the PM or her spokesperson of any specific allegation about what she said in the Slater & Gordon internal interview,” he told The Daily Telegraph.

 Even one of the partners at the Lawyer firm where she worked at the time has stated that she has a case to answer but obviously she doesn't think so as she has not bothered explaining any part of the shenanigans that went on years ago. No one was arrested or charged. Gillard is right in the middle of it.

 EACH time Julia Gillard is asked about a union corruption scandal involving her then-boyfriend and client, she gives the same non-answer.

 The Australian got it last week: the Prime Minister “was not involved in any wrongdoing and has dealt with these allegations previously”.

 Same from her yesterday on Sky: “I am not dignifying all of this scurrilous campaigning by going through these things point by point ... We are talking about matters 17 years ago, which have been dealt with on the public record for most of that time.”

Actually, they haven’t been dealt with - and Gillard’s evasions are no longer good enough.

AWU and HSU Union has Some Explaining to do to Members.

It's that old saying at work, power corrupts and total power corrupts, totally. This is how and what the Unions in Australia have been doing for the last 30 years without so much as anyone lifting a finger to stop them, even when the facts were there in front of them, as well as the paper work as well as the  thieves themselves.

The AWU (Australian Workers Party) and the HSU (Health Services Union) have both been exposed as being totally corrupt and failing to do anything about the abuses that both Unions have encountered over the years. First there was evidence that showed that a $500,000 account had been setup, money coerced from companies and promptly stolen by members of the Union executives and spent on everything else besides Union business. Even Julia Gillard has been implicated in that crime but denies any wrongdoing ofcourse.

Next we have the HSU paying out hundreds of thousands of dollars to Thompson, a member of parliament and a former Union member. Money that he wasted by paying for prostitutes and every else besides HSU business also the head of the Union fisking the Union for millions is spare cash. Again, we have that just swept under the carpet and we are still waiting for those lazy public servants to get off their arse and actually perform their duty. Should hear more about that thievery later on as they are presumably digging, but we again wait.

From the AWU to the HSU, millions of dollars of unions members funds have been stolen. There have been no prosecutions, no Royal Commissions, and with the AWU - the media has been gagged. Now Michael Smith - a commentator courageous enough to put his job on the line - has been interviewed by CANdo, uncovering the scandal which has engulfed the trade union movement in Australia.

Australian Unions Have to be Held to Account.

Union Thievery by Craig Thompson. Up to the courts to throw this one in jail.

Thieving Unions.

I can honestly say that I have never ever donated or paid a single cent into the Union's coffers. Even when it was demanded as part of the job application and payroll deduction, I would demand that I pay equivelent amount to a charity as I was never going to support the criminals that are associated with unions. That has been the case for as long as I have worked.
Criminals are automatically attracted to the easy money that unions have because they are not held accountable for a single cent of it to nobody. They can throw it about however they like and that is exactly what they have been doing. Stealing of the poor, humble, in this case, hospital, hospitality workers and keeping for themselves but the bucket full. They should be jailed, every single union should be audited and any discrepancies accounted for or someone goes to the slammer. That is what happens to you and me, we break the draconian laws we pay, one way or the other.

Funny but not unexpected, the Prime Minister of Australia has been associated with Unions for years and now she will be tarnished with the same brush and should be held accountable as well for her nefarious activities.

The scandal that now demands answers 

Andrew Bolt

We need specific answers, Prime Minister. And can you also explain the circumstances of your leaving Slater & Gordon. The Australian reports:

INTERNAL documents from an exhaustive police probe into a union funds scandal in the 1990s show detectives suspected former Australian Workers’ Union boss Bruce Wilson and his then alleged bagman, Ralph Blewitt, were “crooks” and wanted them criminally prosecuted over a $400,000-plus alleged fraud…
Most of the funds that allegedly went missing had been paid into an entity, the AWU Workplace Reform Association.
Julia Gillard, as a solicitor at the time for Slater & Gordon lawyers in Melbourne, which acted for Mr Wilson, Mr Blewitt and the AWU, did legal work related to the establishment of the association in Western Australia.
At the time, Mr Wilson and the Prime Minister were in a close relationship. Ms Gillard has repeatedly and strenuously denied that she had any knowledge of what the association was going to be used for, and has also denied receiving any benefit. She has declined to provide further comment about her role at the time ...
The police running-sheet states that “suspect withdrawals” were made to buy a Melbourne house at the centre of the alleged fraud, in Kerr Street, Fitzroy, in 1993. Mr Blewitt was the legal owner of the house, purchased with allegedly stolen money for the use of Mr Wilson in a transaction handled and part-financed by Slater & Gordon solicitors. The firm waived its conveyancing fees…
Ian Cambridge, then national head of the AWU (and now a Fair Work commissioner), stated in an affidavit in the Industrial Relations Court in 1996 that he was “unable to understand how Slater and Gordon, who were then acting for the Victoria Branch of the Union, could have permitted the use of funds which were obviously taken from the union, in the purchase of private property of this nature, without seeking and obtaining proper authority from the union”.

The story once so successfully suppressed is now going mainstream. The Financial Review:

The Australian Workers Union has admitted that possible corruption by some of its officials in the 1990s forced it to tighten its financial controls and try to retrieve union money.

Is Shorten normally so dismissive of scandals involving the rip-offs of union members? If so, is he fit to be Workplace Relations Minister?

Workplace Relations Minister and former AWU national secretary Bill Shorten described the case as ”ancient stuff”.
“I know at the time my predecessors certainly did take all the material to West Australian and Victorian police and what I understand is those authorities chose not to take the matter any further, not to prosecute,” Mr Shorten told 3AW.

The Australian begs to differ:

The AWU, under then president Bill Ludwig and then secretary Ian Cambridge, fought to recover the funds. Former attorney-general, Robert McClelland, who was the AWU’s lawyer at the time, recently said questions still needed answering and action had to be taken to prevent it happening again. Slater & Gordon must explain how it could allow such an entity to be established and then carry out conveyancing on a property purchased with funds from the union without authority from the union itself.
While we have an open view on this matter and accept the Prime Minister’s denial of any knowledge of, or involvement in, this scandal, questions continue to linger about Mr Wilson and Slater & Gordon. It demands a new investigation by legal authorities.

While I admire The Australian for pursuing this, I think it should be less dismissive of the blogosphere, without which this would have been yet one more story buried or ignored by the mainstream media:

THE former union official who has offered to throw new light on 17-year-old allegations of corruption in the Australian Workers Union should be given a hearing, if only to put to rest the rumours and conspiracy theories that mostly populate the internet, spread though the blogosphere and find their way into the twitterverse.
All too often these claims lack evidence, credibility and believability.

Some of those in the blogosphere who have kept asking the questions, presenting the evidence, have done so without the financial backing against legal action that mainstream journalists enjoy. They deserve a little more credit for their courage.
Labor says the scandal is old - but refuses to reveal the truth of it:

Lines from the Prime Minister’s “live issues brief” yesterday morning—a pollies’ guide to responding to hot media topics if asked by journalists:

THESE are ancient matters that have never gone anywhere, no matter how many times people have tried to reheat them. Because there’s nothing in them. It is worth remembering that the only reason they are being brought up today is because someone’s promising to reheat them in a deal to avoid criminal charges. The last time they were published the newspaper ended up apologising for making false assertions.

Ancient matters? Robert McClelland, Labor MP, former federal attorney-general and a former lawyer for the AWU quoted in The Weekend Australian, July 14:

LEGAL advice from a torrid union corruption scandal in the 1990s sheds new light on how the solicitor who would become attorney-general, Robert McClelland, and the woman who sacked him, Julia Gillard, were pitted against each other in a costly legal battle over her former boyfriend and on claims that he had misappropriated $400,000 of union money. Mr McClelland further raised the stakes in an interview when he said for the first time that a “third party” might have benefited from the alleged union wrongdoing in the 90s. “I think that any fair-minded person would have to regard the outcome from the 90s as being totally unsatisfactory because, despite protracted litigation, union funds that were misapplied were never returned to benefit members,” Mr McClelland said.

Nothing to see here; move along. Swan yesterday:

JOURNALIST: We’ve seen a former AWU member come out and say that he’s willing to make a statement about events that occurred quite some time ago. Are you concerned that such statements could be detrimental to the Labor Party?
Swan: Not at all. I don’t think there’s anything in this issue that’s been raised in the past; it’s gone nowhere. In fact, it’s been raised in some embarrassing ways by those who raised it in the past. I’m not interested in it and I don’t think it’s got any significant implications whatsoever.

If nothing improper occurred, then where’s the harm in detailing exactly what was done and why? End of story, then.
UPDATE
Reader Ian of Brisbane notes how determined The Age is to avoid smelling the stink:

Search “The Age” website for “Bruce Wilson”. The most recent reference was a 23 June column by Peter Hartcher. Nothing to see here.
