Comments on: If Mick Gatto is the answer, bring on the Royal Commission http://www.crikey.com.au/2008/04/08/if-mick-gatto-is-the-answer-bring-on-the-royal-commission/ now with extra source Sun, 12 Feb 2012 10:13:47 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Ryn Swane http://www.crikey.com.au/2008/04/08/if-mick-gatto-is-the-answer-bring-on-the-royal-commission/#comment-2080 Ryn Swane Thu, 01 Jan 1970 10:00:00 +0000 #comment-2080 Well maybe he will have more luck than the regulators. The issue is when you have "vigilante" Mick run around do only certain parties get their share i.e. his mates, or is he a fair and impartial administrator as well? It is sickening to see how these clowns get away with this, but let the little man on the street not lodge a tax return and the "ole gallows" are prepared. I know smacks of the tall poppy syndrome - well does it? Now every Tom, Dick and Harry is blaming Opes for their current share crisis, I viewed an Oil and Gas Company filling a notice on the ASX blaming the Opes issue for their woes, when you check their graph they have been sliding since January (must have been advanced notice - good story there) - maybe the answer is buyer beware in all areas!!!

Royal Commission to resume where the dockers & painters left off - links between organised crime, business, unions & the Labor Party. Brings back memories of WA Inc - Laurie Connell, hundreds of millions vanish in corrupt deals with Labor, no tax paid for a decade that was missed by tax office under Labor & a notorious crime figure turns up as a poll bearer at his funeral. Royal Commission expressed concern at where some of the money flowed from Rothwells bail outs but it was never followed up by anyone. Perhaps Mick Gatto ro Tom Dominican arbitrated the settlements.
