Letter from our reader Boolean to IR Minister & AG Christian Porter

Dear Christian,


Thank you for the work you do and your commitment to getting rid of Union corruption.

I have been following the work of Michael Smith since he was forced to resign from his job due to, in my opinion, his higher standard of ethics compared to his management or the PM at the time.

I commend you for going after the current corrupt Unions but when we have an ex PM who has ample evidence against her that she lied to a Royal Commission, was involved in fraud, lied to the Australian public and donated our money to a potentially illegal Clinton Foundation it undermines your moral high ground if you only investigate some corruption.

By ignoring mountainous and clear evidence against a former PM it implies that some (Union) people are above the law.

It is not too strong an expression for me to say I implore you to start your fight against Union corruption with our former PM Julia Gillard.

The evidence that she has been involved in lying and fraud is, if not insurmountable, then very close to it and must be tested in a Court of Law for confidence in our Institutions to be at least partially restored.

From the days of her involvement in corrupt payments in Western Australia through to more recent investigations by Victoria Police, and actual admissions of guilt by one person involved (not resulting in charges being laid), there has been very obvious political interference on a number of occasions recently and also in the past.

One astounding case in point is that the (I think still current) DPP in Victoria decided not to go ahead with prosecution on the evidence of 2 years of work by a number of Victorian police detectives. It is not much of a stretch at all to suggest the prosecution did not proceed because the DPP was actually involved in a small way and would have known probably everything that occurred!!

I won't go on any more but I beg you to take this seriously and investigate in the interests of all Australians and their trust in our Political and Legal systems. In my opinion these systems have been enormously damaged by Union and Political coverups which allowed a major player to become the PM of our great country.


Yours sincerely,

ENDS

NSW Lib transport minister Andrew Constance "appalled" by this billboard

How could you be upset by the beauty of a new life?

I've marvelled at 5 different little sets of ultrasounds.

What's wrong with talking about beautiful little heartbeats?

Transport Minister Andrew Constance said he was “appalled” by the ad, which shows an image of a pregnant woman’s stomach, alongside the phrase: “A heart beats at four weeks”.

The minister ordered the ads be removed from Newcastle buses after a complaint was made to him on social media.

“I’m looking into how this was allowed to happen,” Mr Constance wrote on Facebook at the time.

Supplied The same ad was removed from the side of buses in Newcastle last month.

An online petition has been started calling on the roadside billboard in Lake Macquarie to be taken down.

Sahynie Croese, who started the petition, said she was stunned to see the anti-abortion ad being displayed in such a prominent location in her hometown.

Ms Croese told nine.com.au she was driving home from her grandmother’s house when she spotted the billboard.

“It shocked me because I thought that we had this argument already with Newcastle buses and NSW transport with the same ad, so I was a little bit stunned as to why I was seeing the exact same ad,” she said.

“A lot of people are outraged that in 2019 we still have organisations that are allowed to have a billboard that is basically just telling women what to do with their bodies.”

“We are a secular state now and have been for a long time. Fair enough these organisations have a belief, but that highway is a public domain.”

Emily’s Choice is yet to respond to nine.com.au’s requests for comment.

However, in a blog post on the group’s website, CEO Paul O’Rourke defended the ads.

“Apparently it’s impolite to encourage women to continue an unexpected pregnancy by informing them their babies have a tiny heartbeat,” Mr O’Rourke said.

“We are seeking to restart and reshape the life conversation in a sensible, sensitive way free of guilt and condemnation so women make an informed choice. We are pro-women and for-children.

“There are government campaigns to reduce smoking, the road toll, cancer and heart disease. Surely there’s a place to reduce abortion which claims more Aussie lives each year than any other cause?”

Josephine Gatt owns the property where the billboard is placed. Ms Gatt said she had not been aware of the content of the ad before being approached by nine.com.au.

“That billboard has been there for a long time, many years,” she said.

“The billboard company approached my husband to put the billboard up. I have nothing to do with what is put up there.”

Nine.com.au has contacted the billboard company, oOh!media, for comment.

Last year, the Australian Communications and Media Authority censured Emily's Voice for a similar TV ad, saying it did not clearly identify its political nature.

Please let Christian Porter, Minister for Industrial Relations know how you feel about his letter today

Timings good Minister, but I won't be signing your petition.

As you know, the former WA detective in charge of investigating The AWU Scandal and I (and many others) want you to back the proper prosecution of GILLARD's offences arising from her false evidence to the Trade Union Royal Commission.

Here's Attorney General and Minister for Industrial Relations Christian Porter's note to me today.

Why would a minister of the crown want constituents to sign a petition over a measure he backs?

He's even got the hide to ask for a donation to his party.

Well thanks for your letter Christian - what say you respond to this one first.
