From tomorrow until Saturday I will be in a remote(ish) location with Ralph Blewitt and others working on AWU matters.

I am purposely not providing much detail in this post.

Ralph's prosecution and legal defence is quite separate from the private prosecution of Gillard that I will soon bring in an Australian court.

I can confirm to you that charges against Gillard will be filed and served within 60 days from the end of August.

I am carrying the costs and doing the work to get the brief against her filed, served and brought before the court.

I could do with a bit of encouragement!

If you can't help out financially I'd love to hear a few words from you in this post - you've no idea how much it means to me just to know that others think this is important, worthwhile work.

I can see an end in sight at last.  I can't guarantee what the results will be - but I can guarantee that we won't die wondering what might have happened if we had tried harder.
