I just re-listened to the Ben Fordham interview with Julia Gillard from 7th March. At the 25 minute mark he asked her "so you were in the room when Ralph Blewitt signed the document?" And she replied rather angrily, "Absolutely, I witnessed documents properly".

Whoopsies, Julia, you just sealed your fate. The noose is tightening on the accomplice..... :-)

Came across this particular wine a few years ago on the Mid-North Coast - cheap as chips and the Shiraz is a good drink for just above $5 a bottle.

Mel, it is a Sem Sav Blanc, it will be be green and have a tarty palette, but it is a great blend of wine. Keeps your tongue alert.

Michael, the wine should be a nice accompaniment to the fish.

Enjoy the mini-break you both deserve it.

Patience is so nice - served chilled.

That looks like throat burning, ear burning plonk?

Instrumental Julia Gillard is obviously holding a smoking gun! How easy is that to comprehend???

Enjoy your time with your family and away from this site. I like a good S/B - loved the name!!! I bet Julia, her Union buddies, S & G are frantically trying to get their stories together, so it is said in unison. Just hope there are some honest ones amongst them, and they actually tell the truth, not more lies.

I am waiting for Julia to sue Pickerig and yourself and all the others who questioned her. I wonder how long it will be before the ABC actually reports that she is under investigation?

Looks good Smithy, good luck to you and your princess.

What day are you opening it Michael? And time also if you can as I'll crack one as well and raise a glass to you.

Smithy, I bet your well-earned bottle of Semi Cab Sauv "singing syrup" is infinitely more palatable than that other "Whine of Australia".

Hi Sauce,

Thanks for keeping the MSN ticking over during Michaels well deserved break.

Just an idea for alternative viewing to wile away the time until Michaels return. I know the ABC is like swearing to many here, BUT please believe me, a comedy program called The Thick of It is well worth a watch. You will find it on ABC iview. You will recognise several characters from our own gov especially McTernan. Also check out the comedy The Roast, if Jason Clare has a younger brother he could well be hosting it .

Oooh and frosty too, just like it!

Bought a bottle today. Imagine it is rather acidic on the tongue and tart on the palate, but will open it the first mention by their ABC of the last few days revelations.

.....that should give it time to mellow.

Hey, Michael and Katarina enjoy your break with the kids.

PS and please Katarina, don't let him touch the keyboard.

Enjoy your time out from the site and hullo to your Princess.
Sauce has the helm and all is good on his watch. The news goes on and we are being kept in touch on the finer points as always.
As we have seen "seeker of truth" provided some interesting analysis to ponder and reflect on.
Hedley Thomas and Andrew Bolt covered the Ben Fordham interview with Julia Gillard, (March 7th 2013) which would appear to be gaining some traction, and more people hopefully will become aware of situations occurring around them.

As an aside we had friends for lunch today, the age ranges were early forties to mid seventies. All working, the latter only part time. The conversation regarding politics was clear and also short lived, but concise. They rely on MSM for their reliable overview of what is happening in the back ground. Clearly they were given different insights to follow up.
Our question is how do you make people aware across all age ranges, and aware is all we are concerned with at the moment. The resolve if possible is Monday's problem.
Michael,you and your Princess have a wonderful weekend off and will converse Monday.
Regards Fran and Neville.

I watched Sky Agenda last night with Chris Kenny and the AWU scandal hadn't been pulled.

Im a bit late hope you and your family are having/had a great time, well deserved. So frustrated with the non reporting by the msm, feel like doing a pamphlet drop, fairdinkum. At least Bolt report touched on it. Michael would be great to see you on Bolt report. Really needs to be on TV. So many ppl just get their news on radio, to n from work. Sunday morning on Bolt would certainly get it out there more, cheers to you n princess, jen.

Michael, according to Tim Blair from the Telegraph, the ABC are recruiting for a new research and fact checking unit. The requirements are right up your ally!!

Nah Jenstar, it's Tim The Tool Man . . . notwithstanding his mega demerit points!
