Hey Peter O’Brien are you the journo from Kalgoorlie and Esperence, WA? I’m interested in the real estate deals Nuttall did on behalf of his family and himself. Does anyone know if a list was tabled during the court proceedings, or how sources details and locations of those properties. I imagine this would have to become public knowledge at some stage.

Bakerboy…too many of them were as brazen. Nuttall was the one who got caught. Nothing will change in that hapless state until they re-introduce a bi-cameral parliament and torch the culture of the past thirty years.

Beattie’s Labor was just a different version of Bjelke Petersen’s government. The culture of looking after you mates was alive and well. Nuttall was just the most brazen of them all.

Nuttall inherited the Patel fiasco from Edmonds, who took no action even though she was advised and warned of the situation at Bundaberg, before it blew up.

First Nuttall gives miner Talbot fromMacarthur Coal a tongue lashing in parliament.
It could be expected that Talbot would not want a repeat dose of this treatment.
Nuttall declares he is good friends with Talbot. But this is after it is agreed that he will receive $360,000.
In court Nuttall testifies that he has done nothing for the money.
Exactly.
