You don’t have to using swear words to be moderated. It can often kick in if a word sounds like another word, or if the scribe is out for the afternoon.

Or if commenting on fishing and you want to mention a fish which has the same name as “the people living in the Middle East but aren’t Muslims” This will get moderated as a lot of people dislike those people and write nasty letters about them. Notice I haven’t mentioned the Middle Eastern brigade’s name. If I did, the comment would have been moderated.

Anyway, I just wanted to help you.

“Gauss:
I tend to agree. In which case the PoA _must_ have existed, and must have been signed and dated, before the transaction took place. So why would anyone need to back-date it? That’s why I don’t think the story makes any sense.”

You might want to read through Michael Smith forensic analysis of this issue. Follow progressively through the seven links in the following link.

Then come back and tell me that “the backdated PoA doesn’t even make sense”.

Summary:
1. The auction was on 13 Feb 1993
2. On this date the contact of sale from the selling agent, GA Thomson & Co., was signed by “Bruce Wilson as per Power of Attorney”
3. No PoA was attached to this document as noted by Olive Brosnahan, the para legal at S&G.
4. Olive Brosnahan chases the PoA and it is sent by the agent, together with a letter dated 22 Feb 1993.
5. Ralph Blewitt claims he signed the PoA the week after 13 Feb 1993 when Bruce Wilson went to Perth (see link 5 & 7)& that Julia Gillard was not present when he signed it. Ralph Blewitt further claims he was in WA on 4 Feb 1993, the date on the PoA.

Unless News Corp can prove that their customers want to be deceived, aren’t they guilty of selling shoddy goods? Repeatedly, over decades? Paging ACCC…

Let’s have a Royal Commission into the Unions and corruption and get all this stuff out there once and for all

“I don’t think your premises are in accord with the facts as known. I think the whole point is that the AWU _did_ know about the association,”

Before Apr 1996? Let’s assume for a brief moment that the “new broom”, Bob Smith, at the Victorian AWU knew of the existence of the AWU Workplace Reform Association, in Jul/Aug 1995. Then why didn’t he report it to the police. If he had reported it then the police would have quickly found the account under the entity, AWUWRA.

The link below is a post by Michael Smith on 15 Nov 2012 which contains a link to the entire Victoria Police FOI file

“The entire Victoria Police FOI file

This is the response by Victoria Police to Harry Nowicki’s application for the file of the Force’s investigation into the activities of Bruce Wilson in Melbourne.

You’ll note that the AWU-WRA was not investigated and was not reported to police.”

And in other news, Channel Ten will be reformatting next year’s series of Biggest Loser. The new show will be a reality TV series based on the company’s Board members.

His freedom of speech crusade is an open demand to be able to lie and misinform with impunity.

nothing defamatory or bad language is ever said in my posts

WAKE UP CRIKEY YOU ARE BECOMING A JOKE

To assert that the PM did anything that could ‘bring her down’ after all this time, and at least one thorough police investigation, is to believe in the saying, ‘that if you stir enough s**t will rise’? Or words to that affect. I wish, like I wish about Abbott, that someone would do an indepth investigation of their past, and then tell us of the murky bits! I’m sure that there are some!

Says a lot about the police perhaps? All this so-called ‘awful history’ being available to one shonky so-called journalist, but the police missed it? I’d be insulted if I was one of the investigators.

What did Abbott do while he was at St Johns college/university for instance? Funny how neither he nor Hockey came out in righteous indignation about the sleazy, criminal and disgusting behaviours there? Could it be that they did this deliberately, knowing full well, that there were people ‘out there’ with the ‘dirt’ on them?

I invite people to investigate! Bolt is a piece of garbage who writes accordingly. I wouldn’t let his articles anywhere near innocent people as it probably would contaminate them in a very negative manner indeed! His ‘only free if you agree’ attitude to peoples’ speech is very telling! He wants to get rid of the PM and his misogynist mates are willing to assist!

I don’t think your premises are in accord with the facts as known. I think the whole point is that the AWU _did_ know about the association, and the misdeeds had indeed been investigated - hence the scandal, and the cloud which might or might not have been over gillard’s departure from S&G.

Whether or not they knew about the bank account - that’s a different question. But nobody at S&G opened that account, so they had no reason to know of its existence. The question of the cheque written against the account (one of many “smoking guns”) has already been dealt with - it was submitted in WA, far away from S&G’s melbourne offices.

So … without going looking, why would gillard have known about the account?

He is joining Christopher Pearson as the least read commentator and I wonder why Barry Cassidy invites Pearson onto the Insiders as he you can hear the remotes’ click as watchers move Channels.
