What is it about ALP and corruption? Reply to this message
here's one for you buzz


http://au.news.yahoo.com/a/-/latest/5688156/nuttal l-pleads-not-guilty-to-corruption/

Former Queensland government minister Gordon Nuttall lied during an investigation hearing when he said he did not benefit from a series of payments from a mining executive, a court has been told.

Nuttall told the Crime and Misconduct Commission (CMC) hearing in September 2006 that money received from mining magnate Ken Talbot had helped only his children, the Brisbane District Court was told on Monday.

Nuttall is currently on trial over allegations he received $300,000 in secret commissions from Mr Talbot between 2002 and 2005.

The 56-year-old has pleaded not guilty to 35 counts of receiving corrupt payments.

He also has pleaded not guilty to an additional count of receiving a corrupt payment, relating to a one-off $60,000 transaction from senior public servant Harold Shand in April 2002.

The court was told Nuttall gave evidence to the CMC hearing that he had entered into a "private arrangement" with Mr Talbot, whereby the founder of Macarthur Coal would give him $300,000 in the form of monthly payments over a three-year period.

When asked what he would receive from the arrangement, he said "nothing", and that it had been obtained to help pay off property for his children.

Crown prosecutor Ross Martin SC on Monday told the jury this was a lie and that Nuttall had actually obtained substantial benefits from the payments.

Evidence of this ALP minister sat in Crime and Misconduct Commission since 2007

and the findings are starting to come out

the same way the evidence against Swan and Rudd sits with the Senate Committee

it will be investigated and Rudd does not want this investigation or any investigation to go on

WHY?

note that the CMC was held as a "hearing"

so was the Senate Committee where the evidence are currently being held against Swan and Rudd

these evidences have been given under oath

any lies will be investigated and prosecuted to the full extent of the law


BRING IT ON!!

Mr Martin said Nuttall never declared the payments from Mr Shand or Mr Talbot under parliament's register of pecuniary interests, nor did he declare a conflict of interest.

neither did Fitzgibbon

yet Nutall is being prosecuted and Fitzgibbon has gotten away

Corruption has always been the mainstay of the left. Every comunust government have always been, and always will be rotten to the core.

Not surprising though since a mindset of envy and subversion is the standard motivation of all leftist politics.

And that is of course why no one votes for the only left wing party we have..The Socialist Party.

no - the 4 that voted to remove the charging of fees to detained asylum seekers are the only decent Libs, though.

'Corruption has always been the mainstay of the right. Every right wing government has always been, and always will be rotten to the core'

Not to make a wide-sweeping baseless statement, of course.
