Turnbull’s ego is at the heart of Utegate backfire
|
Malcolm Turnbull’s performance yesterday hasn’t exactly won rave reviews from the press, still, it was better than Tony Abbott’s on the 7.30 Report, where the next leader of the Liberal Party was alternately lost for words and sticking to the now officially-debunked claim that the Government was involved in “crony capitalism”. Was Christopher Pyne not available? Turnbull’s argument that he was the victim of a public servant who was well-regarded but who had, unbeknownst to anyone, quietly gone off the deep end, is sound. You can quibble about whether Grech’s over-familiarity with the Leader of the Opposition in personal emails looked a bit odd, and the fact that at least someone in the Opposition might have wondered whether they were going to claim the scalp of Kevin Rudd on such a trivial matter. You can question whether Turnbull himself should have led the attack. But what are Oppositions in a parliamentary democracy supposed to do when a trusted public servant presents evidence of impropriety? Obsess over due process? Call in IT specialists to check that the person who claims to have received an email is being honest? Should they have borrowed Kyle and Jackie O’s lie detector and strapped Grech in that night at Potts Point? Turnbull would have been remiss not to have pursued the Government on the basis of Grech’s claims. The problem lies in how Turnbull handled the affair when it blew up in his face. Like his political nemesis Kevin Rudd, Turnbull has a raging ego. Unlike Rudd, he appears unable to subordinate it to his political interests. Given Turnbull and Abetz’s interaction with Grech, the revelation the email was a fake on that fateful Monday should have been the cue for a retreat under fire and an acceptance that, having been fooled, it was time to cut their losses. But Turnbull’s reaction was to tell falsehoods, to complain about the media being distracted by Rudd, and to head off any investigation of how the Liberals had handled it. He has persistently claimed — and repeated yesterday — that no attack was made on the Prime Minister until after Godwin Grech’s Senate appearance on 19 June. The Hansard shows Eric Abetz accusing the Prime Minister of favouring John Grant and suggesting he resign on 4 June during Senate Estimates. Turnbull keeps claiming that Kevin Rudd has “accused me, without any basis in fact, of having forged this email.” Rudd has never done any such thing — indeed, has been careful to confine his comments to claiming that the Liberals had questions to answer about their role in the production or dissemination of the email. And yesterday Turnbull admitted that he had an “abbreviated note” of the contents of the email, while still insisting, as he has done for weeks, that he did not have a copy. What’s the difference between an “abbreviated note” of a short email and the email itself? And it was the Liberals who — with that jibbering idiot Steve Fielding — prevented a Privileges Committee Inquiry into Senator Abetz’s knowledge of the email, while pushing a bizarre inquiry into the treatment of Grech. It now looks like that inquiry has only been delayed rather than stopped. The Opposition will struggle to credibly oppose an inquiry into Eric Abetz’s role in the OzCar inquiry and the elaborate scripting that occurred prior to Estimates. Even Barnaby Joyce wasn’t ruling an inquiry out this morning. None of this has helped. Instead, it has merely raised questions about Turnbull’s lack of judgement, particularly when he’s under fire — the sort of judgement Rudd coolly displayed himself back in June. If anything, Turnbull’s efforts to obscure what happened have only made things worse, particularly in light of the Auditor-General giving Rudd and Swan a clean bill of health. Turnbull would have been better advised declaring that he was misled, apologising to Rudd and Swan for accusing them of corruption, muttering something about “improved internal processes” and trying to move on. He should also demand Eric Abetz’s scalp. This disaster has occurred on Abetz’s patch and Abetz falling on his sword for humiliating his leader, while not fair, might serve to bring an end to things. It might also be the equivalent of throwing some meat to the Press Gallery, where the right-wing Tasmanian isn’t exactly loved. None of that will happen, because Turnbull’s ego and his loathing of Rudd won’t let it. And that’s where the question of Turnbull’s character looms largest. There was nothing wrong with how he prosecuted the case against the Government, and everything wrong with how he handled the revelation that there was no case. |

abbott’s performance wasn’t funny, it was mesmerisingly awful. and turnbull’s finger-pointing at godwin grech and “who, me?” lines only serve to highlight what a dissembling coward he is. and now we have erica betz humiliating his boss and himself all over again today with his usual bluster and bombast. what next? the dog ate my breakfast?
and to write that there was nothing wrong with how turnbull prosecuted the case is equally sad. he failed at the first step: check your facts. after failing to do that he got everything he deserved.
Yes, well said.
May I propose the following term …
CROW HEDGING (verb) of politicians to squawk loudly and pointlessly at each other, then point at someone else when anyone pays any attention [anagram: Godwin Grech]
I thought Abbott did very well on the 7.30 report and it struck me that alot of Turnbull’s more ‘natural’ allies on the Left within the party were AWOL when they should have been going to bat for their besieged leader. It says much for Abbott that he is still clearly the Liberal party’s ‘go-to’ man.
I agree Turnbull erred in his management of this whole affair, though I think it a reasonable point to make that if the senior public servant, overseeing a 2 million dollar scheme, comes to you and says, I think this scheme is being rorted, you’d be inclined to accept what he stated as correct. After all, he’s a goverment appointed person, and should be across the detail.
What intrigues me is why this report is said to exonerate the Treasurer. I understand the report suggested that Treasury had behaved “imprudently”, which is a diplomatic way of saying Treasury’s conduct is on the nose. Unless I’ve missed something, the conduct ‘buck’ for a departments mishandling of any issue stops with the appropriate Minister.
Just ask Joel Fitzgibbon. His department mishandled the payment of salaries to soldiers being shot at overseas, despite the Minister instucting the department to correct the problem, and Fitzgibbon carried the ‘can’, earning a rebuke from Rudd. Strange world, the political world!
MR SQUID: I couldn’t agree with you more. To put Malcolm the Mad’s performance in sporting terms (Labor, at a canter, is four sets to love, four games to love, and forty-fifteen with their man, Roger Federer to serve). It’s all very well that this little man with the strutting walk, allows himself to hate Kevin Rudd. But when he does so to an extent that he will lie, cheat, steal and dob in whomsoever he pleases, (Godwin Grech) all that emerges is a sham and an amateur sham at that. He’s like a blowfly, annoying but with a transferable disease under his feet. Better to be stomped on ASAP.
Tony Abbotts performance would have been very funny, had the issue been played for comedy.
‘But what are Oppositions in a parliamentary democracy supposed to do when a trusted public servant presents evidence of impropriety? Obsess over due process? Call in IT specialists to check that the person who claims to have received an email is being honest? … ‘
Err … Yes! He’s gunning after the bleeping PM, of course he has to double check! The ‘I had no idea he might not be telling the truth’ line is really feeble. The guy comes from the IT industry and one of his state leaders was stung by just such a scam. It may have delayed proceedings for 24 hours or so, but with the stakes so high surely it would have been prudent.
The mad monk wasn’t lost for words his mind had curled up into the fetal position, at least he fronted which
is more than can be said for Malcolm whose ego isn’t as big a cross to bear as the damage he’s managed to
do his and his supporters claims that he has a powerful intellect running in tandem with the aforementioned
ego.
No, John James (2.13pm), Tony Abbott’s performance was woeful. But while one could argue with the wisdom of someone only peripherally involved, appearing on the prime current affairs show, one still has to allow that Abbott showed some fortitude. Perhaps he was taking some heat for his boss, but the real heat should be reserved for those who did not appear. I suppose Turnbull was exhausted from hours with the press throughout the day but where is that sleaze, Abetz?
And, no, it is appropriate that the Treasury and not the Treasurer, carry responsibility for any administrative failings. In my view it was sending all the wrong signals, and rewarding the conniving swine in the DoD, to remove Fitzgibbon.
As for Faz (2.25pm), “the guy comes from the IT industry”, gimme a break. As if anyone who merely invested or leveraged off the fad-of-the-moment industry, and is a Blackberry obsessive makes them any kind of silicon valley IT wizkid. Anyway, it was not IT savvy that was required, did you see how hapless Turnbull’s office was? Unbelievable, cringemaking — the inverse West Wing.
Boy, can of worms there. So when a public servant acts in a way deliberately calculated to discredit a minister, which appears to be what happened here, the minister cops it and resigns? We hand the fate of our Governments over to unelected bureaucrats?
Besides, if these were the standards, there would have been no ministers left in Howard’s dirty little regime.
I’ve got an image of this fiasco playing out on June 12 in Lucy Turnbull’s lavish Potts Point office: Here’s a link. http://www.icmg.com.au/portfolio/Default.asp?ProjectID=95&
Grech enters the building, totally dwarfed as anyone would be and Eric pops his head over the mezzanine railing: “Hello Godwin, thanks for coming, Lucy’s just blown the Kleenmaid so we’ve ordered affogato’s over soy from that cute little place downstairs. Oh! I feel like I’m in Paris! Are you excited Godwin and did you see those girls outside on McLeay? Whoa…warm a cold heart in Hobart eh?? Come in and sit at Lucy’s oval Schwartz on the fabulous leather Aerons – Canberra looks cheap eh ??. Here’s Mal with the affogatos – I’m having lemon flavour you look like caramel, Mal’s taking his straight. Now – what do we ask in Question Time and Estimates eh??
What a pitiful group of immature desperados.
“the minister cops it and resigns?”
Well, who takes the wrap when governments ‘stuff up’? The elected representative or the unelected public servant? Hands up who knows what the politicians answer will be?
And Treasury was not accused of trying to “discredit” the Minister. The Minister should be acutely aware of how a 2 billion dollar scheme of taxpayer funded money is being ‘administered”, Michael. You’ve been voting Labor too long mate. Have a talk to Anna Bligh.
Michael,
I wasn’t expecting Turnbull to be some sort of IT wizkid BUT he should know how easy it is to fake stuff on line. I mean we all know that Obama was born in South Australia!
Faz … Turnbull made his fortune founding a little start-up called OzEmail so I suspect he does know a thing or tow about IT and even email (at least of the Ozzie variety …
I’m pleased to see the Eric Abetz role in this debacle getting some attention. His performance in Senate Estimates put him in the centre of the entire “conspiracy” and it’s time he wore some flack.
John James (3.41pm). Not quite sure of your intent but regarding Anna Bligh, from today’s Crikey MediaWatch: “Elsewhere Anna Bligh up to third, continuing to show an unnerving tendency to prefer good policy to looking after mates.”
So let me declare, that Anna Bligh will be the first Queensland leader ever that I will be happy to vote for — if given the chance next time. (I was o/s during the Goss period and in fact Bjelke-P was a big part of the reason for quitting this state/country.) She is probably not too popular amongst her party apparatchiks because it seems like she is actually trying to drag these neanderthal old-boys into the modern age after another decade of flimflam from Beattie. She put fluoride in water (there are still bumper stickers claiming it is all a communist plot — and they are not joking), removed the utterly absurd fuel subsidy, and proposed (earlier this year before the current stoush) restricting the ability of ex-politicians to monetize their influence and I believe, in time, would create much better governance in this state with banana republic tendencies.
As a public servant and an ex-whistleblower I find Grech’s conduct completely corrupt. His ill health should not prevent him being prosecuted. He is NOT a whistleblower. Turnbull is completely wrong to state that public servants talk to the opposition all the time - in fact we don’t talk to the government let alone the opposition. There is a strict protocol for dealing with politicians and the media etc and it doesn’t include personal discussions except at the very highest level and then only with the government of the day.
I am praying that the opposition gives the government a double dissolution trigger which they accept so we can be rid of that moron Fielding. Has there ever been a more stupid representative in that arena of ‘unrepresentative swill’?
He even makes Tuckey seem sensible and that’s going some!!
Faz and David Gillepsie. No, I don’t think for a millisecond that because he was a financial wiz (another name for bully spiv in a goldrush environment which is what the dotcom madness was) means that Turnbull necessarily knows the first thing about the technical aspects of email. And as Annabel Crabb has written, in the investment banking world , Turnbull had more failures than successes — which is kind of the point, as the failures did not cost him anything much but the successes make real money. (So far in politics it has been all misses and no hits, and the misses are not as cost-free as in investment banking.)
And actually if one really knew something one would know that while it is trivial to produce a printout of an email that cannot itself be detected as a fraud, it is close to impossible to actually do it electronically. That is, as soon as an IT person starts looking at the actual electronic records (and mirror sites etc that big public service departments have) the whole thing would immediately be obvious as a fabrication. Turnbull is simply guilty of being incredibly impetuous and rushing in to believe this dodgy stuff of Grech. If he had put his lawyers hat on, or his journalist hat on, he would have paused and asked himself, how can I independently confirm this wild story before “investing” so heavily in it?
John James,
Mate you come across as one of those blinkered rusted-on Liberal supporters who blithely ignore just how much doo doo your party is in right now and, despite everything that’s happened, continue to bay uselessly for a Labor scalp.
You also attempt to gloss over the fact your parliamentary leader was involved in a conspiracy, which has included criminal behaviour.
If you have followed this entertaining saga, you would be well aware it’s on the public record that Grech was known to the Liberal Party for a long time.
He was not some unknown public servant appearing out of the blue, so don’t come the raw prawn.
I am not convinced GG went to Abetz and Turnbull with prepared questions for Abetz to use in estimates.With suggestions maybe. There is only the two liars and gutless wonders Turnbull and Abetz version of that. Abetz says he was conned by Gretch, yea right. Turnbull has so many versions of what he saw and when he saw it he makes that cretin, the former Howard Minister Reith
appear angelic. Whatever the method of construction of the questions, regardless if they were prepared by Getch or in collusion with him the fact is Abetz knew about the questions and the answers BEFORE the Senate hearing but gave the impression he did not. If that isn’t abuse of Parliamentary Priveledge, then the term should be scrapped. Mr Gretch con both Liberal heavyweights? if they were conned they wanted to be.
I love some of these postings, as you begin to see just how far removed from reality some of the “true believers” are.
Pelican, I’ll bet you a front seat at the next Labor Party Conference ( with your own i-pod device to relieve the boredom!), that no criminal charges will be forthcoming . Grech was obviously thought highly enough by the government to be placed in charge of the scheme so its a bit rich blaming the Opposition for holding him in the same high regard.
As for the “doo doo”, it washes off, and 1n 12 months time when interest rates are climbing and another 500,000 Australians are out of work, I don’t think this is going to be a big issue.
Michael, my ‘intent” is to rebut the notion that Ministers are not accountable when their departments are found guilty of what you call poor “administration” . Alot of the “doo doo” Anna Bligh’s government is in right now is precisely because various departments have been maladministered. I live in Sydney. Dont even ask about Labor in NSW!!! It makes ‘Underbelly’ look like ‘Sesame Street’.
Finally, Claret and her “unrepresentative swill” Maam,I can hear Bob Brown groaning.
“Grech was obviously thought highly enough by the government to be placed in charge of the scheme so its a bit rich blaming the Opposition for holding him in the same high regard.”
That’s right, John, but I think highly enough of the valet at an expensive restaurant to let him park my car in the car park. I don’t expect him to go and fcuk it up by re-enacting a chase scene from The Matrix and returning me the keys to a charred shell.
So the doo-doo washes off, right? Nobody’s going to remember it in 12 months huh? So why exactly was using Mark Latham’s past an effective tactic, or 12 years of Rodentus and Captain Smirk reminding us of Hawke and Keating. Even now your lot love to compare Rudd to Whitlam.
Labor won’t use this in advertising in the leadup to the election because “it won’t be a big issue?” Mate, this is the country where 4 million people watched an Asian artist and a Gosford housewife bake a chocolate cake, for God’s sake. You’re overestimating the intelligence of the people whose votes hold the keys to The Lodge.
JJ,
I’m not a “true believer”in either major party or any other but I always get a laugh when the Liberal apologists claim to be living in the real world, unlike those who disagree.
I bet your 4WD and wife’s pearls that the Liberala will lose because this was Turnbull’s defining moment with the electorate (as evidenced by the disastrous polls) and he is now a dead parrot.
I’m curious as to why you believe GG will not be charged but maybe in your real world the suit and tie johns are never held accountable before the law.
I see you’re also still pretending that the Liberal Party had no longstanding links with Mr Grech, when they knew exactly who they were dealing with.
i have some knowledge of and experience in how public servants should behave.
if GG had concerns as to the propriety of the ozcars fund, or its use or misuse, or the way its processes and procedures were being applied, he should have gone immediately to his superior, and to his secretary, if necessary.
if he remained disatisfied after that, he should have gone to the federal police.
the last thing to do is to go running to a politician, of whatever persuasion, or to a newspaper (especially one without a shred of morality like the australian).
the fact that he did none of these things show what a complete political set-up it was, involving GG, Grech and Turnbull, and newscrap.
and while on the media, isn’t it strange that not one question has been asked about newscrap’s central role in this, not even by Crikey.
not one old-fashioned column inch has appeared in the press and the electronic media has remained silent.
Even the abc, to its eternal shame, shame, shame.
Defence Dept staff got rid of Joel Fitzgibbon, so Treasury staff has a go at the PM and Treasurer……..too many Liberal shills in Canberra
But in this case, the Government didn’t stuff up. Rudd and Swan were exonerated
Not Treasury, Grech.
Spot on piece, Bernard. I must admit I’ve so enjoyed this week, politically speaking. Always good to see Malcolm and his cronies squirming.
And Claret, couldn’t agree with your more about Steve Fielding. The guy is a total embarrassment. What an intolerable situation when a thickheaded nitwit wields the power he does in the Senate. Bring on the double dissolution…
CLARET - Like you I rage at GG being called a whistleblower.
As any number of disinterested studies have shown (the latest being “Whistle While You Work” by A J Brown et al at Griffith Uni), a true whistleblower risks all for the public interest, almost always (97%) alone, knowing they are going are going to cop the full might of the State, without any expectation of gain or personal benefit, if fact the exact opposite.
Yet they do so.
GG was a long time partisan mole by HIS OWN ADMISSION. He was Walter Mitty, Charles Pooter, every little Jobsworth, meretricious medicotrity who ever grovelled before his betters.
Nuff sed.
Not so convinced about Turnbull’s judgement before the email expose’ that first week. If you think about it he had the inside running and ran hard based on his judgement.
I can give a real life example not nearly so dramatic. A public servant working at the council where I was elected came to me and said his section were meeting to divide up the Local Govt Area and define areas to upsize zonings for increased density of development. Given Waverley is already about the densest in Australia this was explosive information. He said it was systemic corruption in favour of developers.
Only he was a little shaky in terms of raging temper and I decided to play it cool - give me documentary evidence, or officially report it yourself. He duly told me I was a dickhead and nothing was heard of the ‘scandal’ again.
When one comes through genuinely grassroots politics one has to develop a radar regarding fertile imaginations, unsupported allegations, and yes getting blindsided on a Tuesday afternoon. That’s the thing about one on one political communication as distinct from moving PR assets around a war game table. You have to understand people in their amazing diversity. Probably an endless lesson really given the variety of DNA.
In the specific example for instance who is to say the planning staff were not simply following the State Govt Planning Regional Plan to avoid planning powers being ripped off the council altogether. Always an issue at Waverley - friendly fire from the ALP Right to their brothers and sisters on the Left. Nice bunch.
Bernard, I think you have fallen for Malcolm’s subtle response that he was the victim of a public servant who was well-regarded but who had, unbeknownst to anyone, quietly gone off the deep end. I notice that a number of prominent journos like Margaret Grattan have also been tricked into asking themselves why they should think less of Malcolm when they themselves would have accepted the word of Grech. If you wind the clock back then the appropriate question should have been why they didn’t consider the possibility of Grech being sent a fake email - just like in South Australia a little earlier. That was where due diligence broke down!
RaymondChurch said: “I am not convinced GG went to Abetz and Turnbull with prepared questions for Abetz to use in estimates.”.
Those were Gretch’s own words as quoted in Paul Maley’s “exclusive” interview with him:
“… the ailing official said he wrote down a series of questions for the Opposition Leader to ask in parliament which concerned Mr Rudd’s statements that he had not sought special favours for Mr Grant.” - Paul Maley, Australian, August 4.
http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,25197,25877855-601,00.html
(continuing)
… so it’s fair to assume that he prepared a script for Abetz, too.
Araid Bullmore I still need convincing two hotheaded legal brains such as Abetz and Turnbull were coerced into accepting questions written by GG verbatim. It does not seem plausable the egos of the two would allow word for word instructions from an underling(to them)be used in the House and in a Select Committee. If they did, in Turnbulls case, more fool him he deserves all he is getting. As for Abetz, the smart arse from Tasmania who regards baiting and talking down to people a sport he has in fact used a series of questions prepared by a witness, he had a private meeting with prior to the hearing where the questions were obviously discussed. That sir is not allowable procedure, regardless of what Goe. Brandis tried to have us believe on Late Line.I do not think, unless you are a dyed in the wool Lib with tunnel vision and lack of any perception, there is any doubt there is a huge black cloud hanging over the two members in the gun, and they know it. The rumbling they can hear is preparatory to an almighty storm.
RaymondChurch said: “It does not seem plausable the egos of the two would allow word for word instructions from an underling(to them)be used in the House and in a Select Committee.”
I agree that it’s a bizarre scenario on a number of levels, but it seems that on this occasion their combined rabid zeal to throw a grenade at Rudd and Swan overrode any of their supposed legal instincts.
Also, as for Turnbull, I think the Australian Sob Story episode revealed what a hopeless bunch of political minders he has surrounded himself with, so no wonder there was no brake on him.
Further, the way that Eric Aids & Abets so hastily ate a shit sandwich (to borrow a phrase from Mungo MacCallum) following the AG’s findings makes me think he is as guilty as hell and wants it all to go away as quickly as possible.
BULLMORE’S GHOST: Hi Kerry, hows tricks in the netherworld?
Seriously though, Malcolm Turnbull didn’t need to ask his minders if he should or could go on to Australian Story. Woe, lamentations, schadenfreude. He would masturbate on a bed of rose petals, on a runway at Tullamarine, naked; if he thought people would watch him.
MT is due to turn up on Q&A tonight. Does your spirit form enable you to slither down someones chimney to have a peek? Regards to Himself! And tell St. Peter to close the bloody door for a bit. Someone we know is due to check in.
The netherworld is no fun at all. I lodged a development application for Casino Celestiale more than 6 months ago and so far absolutely nothing. It’s as if there’s nobody there. But I digress …
Yes, I watched Malcolm on Q&A tonight and, among other things, he told the audience with great authority that Grech gave evidence to the Senate under oath. I have been known to swear a few oaths myself, but I don’t believe that those appearing before the Senate Estimates Committee are required to take an oath. I was surprised that neither Julia Gillard nor Tony Jones picked him up on that further inaccuracy.
When pressed by a viewer question, Turnbull steadfastly avoided uttering an apology to Rudd. Again, a great opportunity was missed by the panel to ask him under what circumstances he would consider apologizing to anybody. I would have liked to see the lawyer in him attempt to conjure up an answer that would not leave himself wide open to the obvious follow-up question.
i draw your attention to the statement by public service commissioner lynelle briggs this afternoon completely demolishing the arguments by turnbull, abbott and abetz that it is all hunky-dory to have a private chinwag with a public servant at any time without the secretary or minister approving.
grech, turnbull, and abetz have been involved in the commission of a crime. i repeat. a crime.
BULLMORE’S GHOST: Bad luck about the Celestial Casino. Perhaps angels have bigger pockets than even you thought possible. I venture to suggest much more payola. After all you must be one of the richest ghosts up there.
Yep, Malcolm Turnbull was relaxed and seemed to be enjoying himself. Did you notice the way his eyes were constantly flicking over everyone. Sure sign of a desperate man. I have to admit I didn’t pick up on your first point but I was almost cringing at the way he avoided the opportunity to apologize to Kevin Rudd, AND Wayne Swan was ignored altogether. He said words to the effect that he had withdrawn his resignation comment to the Prime Minister but he didn’t include the Treasurer.
Some people have commented the man has guts, but what if one doesn’t even recognize the fact they have made a stuff up in the first place? That ain’t guts that’s something far more sinister.
Regards to the celestial folks up there. Once again give my regards to Himself. And have another crack at the Celestial Casino.
Sincerely
Venise
“Some people have commented the man has guts, but what if one doesn’t even recognize the fact they have made a stuff up in the first place? That ain’t guts that’s something far more sinister.”
When it comes to Turnbull, I think people are confusing tenacity with guts. Turnbull has revealed himself as a blame shifter. The thing a political leader desperately needs for survival is loyalty from his team. Blame shifters do not attract loyalty.
I was pleased to see Jonathon Holmes on tonight’s edition Media Watch address the canard that Grech gave evidence under oath to the Estimates Committee.
Holmes quoted advice from the Clerk of the Senate (or one of the Assistant Clerks) that only the Privileges Committee can require evidence to be given under oath.
So, if the inquiry goes ahead, we may see Abetz sworn in, as well as at.
