Christopher Pyne in Secret Late Night Alcohol-Fuelled Rendevous with Gay Sex Harrassment Accuser!
- Christopher Pyne admits lurid late night drinking session with gay sex accuser!
- Pyne asked for Ashby’s phone number!
- It’s all a disgusting sordid mess!
***A startling new Gutter Trash Special Sex Exclusive Investigation Probe!***
Stunning new reports reveal that Coalition Frontbencher Christopher Pyne spent almost two hours drinking and “shooting the breeze” with James Ashby in a late night alcohol- fuelled drinking session.
The flamboyant Manager for Opposition Business has long faced speculation over his sexual orientation and has been the subject of rumours that he enrolled in voice-coaching lessons in a desperate effort to “butch up” a bit.
The Gutter Trash can reveal that just four weeks before openly gay Mr Ashby launched a civil case against his boss Peter Slipper alleging sexual harrasment, Mr Pyne and Mr Ashby met late on the evening of March 19 and enjoyed drinks together for some two hours in Mr Slipper’s office.
When Mr Slipper returned to his office, Mr Pyne promptly left.
Our sources confirm that Mr Pyne rang back later the same evening to request Mr Ashby’s mobile phone number.
Mr Pyne confirms the meeting took place but says he can “not remember” asking for Mr Ashby’s mobile number.
“I don’t remember ever having asked for Mr Ashby’s number,” he said.
“I have met Mr Ashby on three occasions, and I have never had any need to phone him.”
He might not have the “need,” but perhaps he has the “desire.”
Nevertheless, Mr Pyne continues to deny he had any prior knowledge of the claims Mr Ashby made in the Federal Court documents or that he had ever had a discussion with the staffer over his concerns about Mr Slipper.
A source close to Mr Slipper’s office told the National Times that, during the evening of March 19, Mr Ashby revealed personal details to Mr Pyne, a claim Mr Pyne strenuously denies.
“I have nothing to hide,” Mr Pyne said. “I was simply passing the time of day. We had a beer and a political discussion.”
Mr Pyne said that it was not unusual for him to socialise with Mr Slipper’s staff in the Speaker’s absence.
Mr Pyne told The Gutter Trash that the first knowledge he had of Mr Ashby’s Federal Court action was when he read about it in the News Ltd press the previous Saturday.
Mr Pyne repeated he had never discussed with the staffer the allegations of the misuse of Cabcharge dockets, nor the sexual harassment claims made in the Federal Court civil case.
Asked if there was evidence to suggest Mr Ashby had received help from the Coalition in preparing his Federal Court claim, Opposition Leader Tony Abbott replied:
“Not that I’m aware of.”

This post is actually two and half years old but it’s still current….!
Especially after last night’s revelations and Brough’s poor showing – lying, sleazy, slime bag that he is …
… in fact all of them, Slipper, Ashby, Pyne, Brough, and now Wyatt … and especially “I know nussing” Abbott …
… as if Pyne doesn’t talk to the Parliamentary Leader of the Liberal Party …
… and who exactly manipulated Utegate to bring Turnbull down I wonder …
http://www.9news.com.au/National/2014/09/07/22/17/Slipper-staffer-says-Pyne-offered-him-job
I can’t help thinking Ashby was promised something by Brough and Pyne and it didn’t come off … this is revenge …
This post is actually two and half years old but it’s still current….!
sreb, never admit to lazy journalism … no one else does … (ed.)
Ashby……….Ashby……………..Ashby………………………No one cares anymore about Slipper/Ashby/Pyne.
People have moved on and its just a bit too complicated for ordinary voters to bother with.
If there was a bit of gay sex in last nights revelations then it might live as a story for a bit of a while.
But a “he said this” and “he denied this” is just plain boring
Ashby may have had a case for sexual harassment, it’s difficult to tell when we did not hear of the texts he made and collusion he had with his female colleague about jobs. In the previous court case it looked like he entrapped [a very willing] slipper. We won’t know now as ashby dropped his case and none of it can be really tested.
I do think he was chewed up by the abbott mob in their quest for power. The inducements of job offers and assistance were reneged upon later [abbott learned a lesson from the hanson jailing where it was shown that he signed a personal guarantee of money]
They used ashby for a political assassination and once the damage was done they dumped him and refused to honour their guarantees. Pretty mercenary really, the only thing they didn’t do was have him killed off. Now ashby seems to be looking for a pay out or revenge, he’ll cause some problems if he can, nothing kills a govt like scandal, abbott destroyed gillard with it.
will there be a quiet offer from someone that has no connection to the libs, or will the libs try to tough it out?
,”” or will the libs try to tough it out?””
It will just die its own death.
More interesting headlinse due this week what with ISIS and possible RAAF airstrike involvement plus Gillard”s appearance before the Royal Commission.
Events will quickly overtake this
brough should be investigated by the AFP, but they seem to be in collusion with the libs in any misuse and abuse of the legal system.
Gillard did a grubby deal with a sleazy Lib turncoat
The Libs went after him
That’s really amazing
Can we discuss Mal Coulson too?

The Prime Minister said he watched last night’s program and saw what he thought was a “decent man who had been put into an impossible position”.
“I had a lot of sympathy for him,” he said.
Mr Abbott insisted the “sordid” and “squalid” chapter of politics is “over”.

Are these people thick or what? Over? Just because he says so … ?
If there was a bit of gay sex in last nights revelations then it might live as a story for a bit of a while.
Nice try … but that photo (and text) of Brough that KL, posted says it all … these bastards conspired and colluded to bring the Gillard government down … the “gay sex” is a red herring and nonsense … an IR issue (sexual harassment) and five Liberal politicians didn’t suggest he seek advice from the Fed Gov. Staffer’s HR Dept …
Just how ignorant do you think people are, Wally ….
“”Just how ignorant do you think people are.””
I didn’t say they are ignorant
Just that no one except the Beltway actually gives too much of a rats arse about the entire sordid episode.

‘conspired and colluded to bring the Gillard government down …‘
That’s an interesting perspective.
The alternative one that is equally legitimate is that Gillard conspired to take or retain government that she was not entitled to.
She only did the deal with the proven sleaze Slipper after she could no longer rely on the support of the independent Wilkie, who she had lied to in order to win government.
I think Gillard’s actions were outrageous and duplicitous.
oops sorry, don’t know how that scribd transcript got in there, was meant to be a link to it!

There was nothing illegitimate or even politically unusual about her actions at all, they do it all the time. Abbott was incensed that she outsmarted his manouvres to bring her government.
If you are saying that you would also have to say that deals between govt, other parties, independents and crossbenchers are all conspiracies, immoral and a deceit upon the public as well as the parliament.
*Abbott was incensed that she outsmarted his manouvres to bring her government down*
Nothing illegitimate???
That’s crap.
Gillard –
• Made a written agreement with Wilkie, to deliver on the policy that he sincerely requested
• She walked away from the WRITTEN AGREEMENT just as soon as it became politically difficult for her
• Rather than put up with the political consequences of this dishonesty, Gillard made a deal to oust her own Speaker, and install Slipper, a known dubious character, to the highest position in the parliament
This annoyed the Liberals, who sought to get square… what a surprise!
Bolding all wrong!

Don’t want to say I told you so but..you know… more twists than the putty road. This tangled web has all the hallmarks of a great film
Treacherous plot
Twists and turns
Covert meetings
Political intrigue

Old married gay torry pervert attempting to seduce young gay man
Gay pollies in the closet

Tell all reveal… wow
Pyne and Abbott has misled parliament they must fall…
It’s called politics tomM, it’s what they do, all of them.It’s not an honourable profession of honourable people no matter how much they give themselves honourable titles and demand respect for office. It is high stakes, winner take all and nothing was higher than that minority govt. something that gillards critics like you [and abbott] have never had to deal with. A stable minority govt situation has the opportunity to govern with dignity and require no dirty deals [although abbott seems incapable of that].
The pollies give themselves immunity and protection under parliamentary privilege for a reason, They make themselves unaccountable and immune from any prosecution of their actions.
https://twitter.com/Nihilon45/status/508800561131421696
I am sure that abbott would have done exactly the same to stay in office [perhaps even more] Actually, he has done more just to get into office, if we go by all the dirty, nasty stuff he’s been involved in.
Abbott is also the reason that the parliament was in such disarray, he was the chief bombthrower remember? He was prepared to destroy all usual parliamentary procedures and protocols to get himself the top job.
The only thing i get out of this is that lefties get excited when they think they have something on a Coalition politician.
Why did Gillard make Slipper speaker? By the way Slipper did appear to do a good job. Even sleazy Liberal Party politicians have some talent.
He said she said= who cares.
I don’t think this is ‘just politics’
Gillard-
*Offered Slipper a personal & financial inducement/bribe in exchange for his vote
*Offered to advance the policy of Wilkie (which was in the public interest) in exchange for his political support
*Disowned the agreement when it became politically difficult
*Rolled a reasonably respected Speaker so she could install the sleaze she bribed
I don’t think there’s much credibility with those that now blame the Liberals for their ‘get square’ tactics.
Tom that is ridiculous. Firstly Slipper defected and how is the speakers job a bribe? You are actually implying that holding the speakers position is a graft?
Gillard said all bets are off when the sleazy Torry liberal prick (personally endorsed by Abbott who attended his wedding) was found to be the grub he is.
This whole sordid affair just goes to prove what the electorate is now realising in spadeds. this government is corrupt, untrustworthy and no where near as smart as they think, operating way above their capacity of incompetence. And they assert they are Adults in charge?, Fuck me that make that statement a ridiculous example of hollow rhetoric and clearly why they are fast becoming held in contemptuous loathing which they duly deserve by their own actions….
Rusted on imbecile
Seriously? What a Moron go back to your shed with that blow up child sex toy fuckwit.
You’d know you moral devoid, lying, contemptuous weirdo.
This is from a ass hat that says that people who voted labor are responsible for deaths in custody on Moron sons watch?
Ricky – when someone is offered a great job, with more money, more perks, higher superannuation, more status …and he’s selected because of the favours he delivers, rather than any sense of qualification or merit…can you tell me why that doesn’t qualify as some shady inducement or bribe?

Are you saying that every MP who takes on the job of speaker is being bribed or induced? Because that is the case for all of them.
and he’s selected because of the favours he delivers,
what were they, have you any specific accusations? can you prove any special favours to the ALP other than accepting a job?

• He allowed Gillard to retain her job as PM
• He allowed the ALP to retain a majority
• He prevented Wilkie from taking the action that he was entitled to for Gillard breaching her WRITTEN, SIGNED WORD to him
Slipper delivered Government to Gillard, without the sleazy deal, she would have been out much sooner.
Slipper was already a known sleaze and rorter, but Gillard gave him the job and removed the more respected Speaker Jenkins.
Don’t bother to get all concerned about the get square attitude of Pyne etc unless you’re going to reflect on the sleazy duplicity that set it off.
“Don’t bother to get all concerned about the get square attitude of Pyne etc unless you’re going to reflect on the sleazy duplicity that set it off.””
Yep
Which is why it has “no cut through” with the ordinary voter…………….just another case of they all do it plus most want to just forget about that period of government and opposition.
Only those in the media or Canberra and the feral twitterati get excited
.
Tom Harry Jenkins was doing a fantastic job. Slipper in infinitely more qualified as a QC than that that beehive battleax that didn’t even finish her law degree, instead pretended to be a barrister on a TV show. As Reb so rightly points out, is a glaring indicator of this governments standards… pathetically incompetent.
Tom closer examination of Abbott’s travel rorts make Slippers indiscretions (and I’m not advocating them) look positively miniscule.
Pyne, Brough and Abbott are lying through their teeth
They are using weasel words, cautious language and going into damage control as they have been broadsided by their own treacherous sleazy lies.
All those LNP bully boys just got so outraged at poor widdle extroverted, out & proud, james ashby, mover and shaker in one of the highest ofices in the land [without any qualifications] being sexually harassed. So enraged were they that they had to secretly ensure his protection by crucifying slipper in the media for days and months, rather than use the existing public service protections.
twinks and bears, how delicious! now we’re all insiders to the gay scene! Did that titillate you too reb?
He prevented Wilkie from taking the action that he was entitled to for Gillard breaching her WRITTEN, SIGNED WORD to him
don’t be so faux outraged tomM
she was between a rock and a hard place, it was a MINORITY GOVT remember.
…Gillard emerges from the encounter with her unfortunate reputation as a deal breaker enhanced and the Opposition Leader armed with fresh material. But the Prime Minister has defused an issue that was tearing Labor apart and destabilising her leadership.
Many MPs, especially in NSW, were openly hostile to Wilkie’s demands because of the grief they were getting from the clubs lobby.
The former prime minister Kevin Rudd was using the dissent as leverage for his push to take back the leadership. His frequent and pointed refusals towards the end of last year to endorse the mandatory pre-commitment policy were regarded as sending a subliminal message to the MPs in the firing line: make him leader and he would send Wilkie packing…

anyone would think it was only gillard who ever played politics, hard on some, yes, but that is the game and the way it’s played. Look at this ashby saga right now, promises made and not kept.
.…just another case of they all do it plus most want to just forget about that period of government and opposition…
except that period of opposition is the government today and they need to be accountable for their actions during that period too. I can see why you want it all forgotten now, but you didn’t mind it all then.
“that is the game and the way it’s played”
Sadly true. I suppose integrity, saying what you actually think and keeping promises are unreasonable demands of a public sickened by the cynicism of its poltical leaders.
“Look at this ashby saga right now”
Business as usual for those who cut their teeth on undergrad politics and are more interested in power than public service.
Slipper was already a known sleaze and rorter, but Gillard gave him the job and removed the more respected Speaker Jenkins.
a sleaze and rorter that the libs had in their camp for 20 years and tony abbott even attended his wedding. Also, peter slipper gave abbott the single vote that made him the opposition leader.
abott’s not bad on the old rorting and acceptance of bribes himself!
“”I can see why you want it all forgotten now, “”
I suppose you miss the days just over a year ago when our new PM Rudd started chatting on video to a toy polar bear in his prime ministerial office
There’s no faux outrage from me on that issue AO.
I couldn’t believe that Gillard reneged on the agreement with Wilkie that allowed her to move into the Lodge. I was amazed that she got out of the consequences of the dishonesty, by doing shady deal/bribe/inducement/payoff with Slipper.
I think Gillard was a crook and this is just another example.
harry jenkins was the only one who came out of that with dignity and he did it for the party, never once getting angry, revengeful or feeling a need to ‘get square’ with anyone.
That’s true AO. Harry was (is) a gent, the others all came out of that sorry saga reeking of self-serving hypocrisy and ultra-sleeziness-maximus.
Yep and the Liberals should be criticised for putting up with the sleaze Slipper for years.
But it was Gillard who provided the bribe/inducement/payment and was able to cling on to the office that she only obtained in the first place by offering Wilkie an outcome on his passion of gambling addiction.
She then broke her word. A true political crook.
She then broke her word. A true political crook.
ROTFPML… Well she did better that Abbott is as she is a consilitary negotiator that actually gets legislation passed as opposed to Abbott the geological imposing bully. If she’s a crook… Abbott is a cross between Darth Vader, Satan and Boris Badenov…
Tom by your estimation Gillard broke her word so she is a crook… WTF does that make Abbott and Pyne?
yeah not like abbott’s slush funding through ‘secret entities’ to have a political threat jailed and his own involvement in the laundering of illegal monies through the federal libs.
Plus his involvement in slipper/ashby and jackson/lawler/ipa
he’s clean as!
Well Ricky, Rudd had a comfortable majority, but Gillard dishonestly knifed him and lost the majority. She got a hung parliament, so
➢ She negotiated a series of WRITTEN AGREEMENTS with non aligned parliamentarians
➢ They didn’t simply rely on a verbal commitment, they got her to write it out and sign it!
➢ She promised Wilkie reform on the single issue that he was so passionate about (did I mention she got her pen out and signed that agreement?)
➢ That single (written and signed in her own hand) agreement allowed her to hold the position of Prime Minister
➢ When the politics became too tough, she broke that WRITTEN AGREEMENT (you know the one that allowed her to be Prime Minister)
➢ Rather than allow her dishonesty to be tested in parliament, she removed Harry Jenkins, and installed a sleaze with a record of rorting in the most senior job in the parliament
In my view, that is about as crooked a political story I can recall (except maybe for that c**t, the dishonest c**t Malcolm (the c**t) Fraser)
The alternative one that is equally legitimate is that Gillard conspired to take or retain government that she was not entitled to.
Alternative, ToM? You really make a fool of yourself sometimes … how was any ALP pollie involved in the Ashby sexual harassment case … and if you claim to know about “business” you should know that any pollie should have referred Ashby to the closest HR professional …
Alternative … what a dopey, protective, cop out …
BINGO! This annoyed the Liberals, who sought to get square… what a surprise!
And a bit deeper than that, ToMarse … to bring the government down …
The only thing i get out of this is that lefties get excited when they think they have something on a Coalition politician.
Wrong again, dumbo, its actually FIVE of the FUCKERS! That is a CONSPIRACY …
I don’t think there’s much credibility with those that now blame the Liberals for their ‘get square’ tactics.
Jesus FC, ToM, considering the way that you chased the Thomson Affair your slip really is showing … keep trying sunshine … the mud is heading your way …
can you tell me why that doesn’t qualify as some shady inducement or bribe?
Yep … ’cause he had resigned from the LIbs and they had given him a hard time … not the ALP … weak as water arguments …
Don’t bother to get all concerned about the get square attitude of Pyne etc unless you’re going to reflect on the sleazy duplicity that set it off.
Piss weak!

Well if there is a conspiracy it will come out. Someone will talk.
I actually suspect there was nothing going on other than some sleazy behaviour by Slipper. Apparently the reason Slipper survived so long was because nobody could ever pin anything on him. Always surrounded by rumour but no hard evidence against him. .

James Ashby v Peter Slipper: the shameless game was always about politics
James Ashby’s explosive relevations on 60 minutes have seriously upset the conga line of Coalition denialists:
….He found that the real purpose of the litigation was to bring down the Speaker and damage the minority government, and should never have been brought in the court.
That was subsequently overturned by a full court majority in February. It left us with two judges saying this was more about politics than the law, and two saying this was more about the law than politics. Contrary to spin from the Ashby camp, the full court made no findings of fact about his allegations. That was to be determined by a trial that never happened because the complainant withdrew from the contest.
The main game was always about politics. The litigation was a means by which maximum distress could be inflicted on the minority government, and Liberal politicians were in there with their ears back…
Don’t forget this little beauty
…Yet mysteriously, Abbott insists he was unaware of the machinations surrounding Ashby’s complaint against the speaker, or the legwork being done by his favourite newspaper, the Daily Telegraph. In a piece of amazing synchronicity, Abbott’s press release calling for Slipper’s resignations was on the stocks the moment the Telegraph went to press with the story. Some metadata experts suggest it was even prepared before the story hit the streets…
Hey Lefties
What about the sexual harassment case?? Did Slipper sexually harass Ashby. You know workplace harassment is a serious issue which you seem to be playing politics with.
According to my ethics, making an agreement, (& signing it) is an unshakable commitment.
°Gillard did this to obtain a personal benefit
°Wilkie did it to obtain a public benefit.
Instead of offering a public and private grovelling apology (which would have been the honourable action), Gillard kicked out Jenkins and did the deal with the grub, to maintain her personal benefit!
She’s a crook.
Just get you hand off you fat vage and fuck off… better than you haver tried to prove anything and what’s that I hear?
🙂
What are you asleep? You really are an imbecile. I see why you revert to cut and pasting and making shit up from the past , it is actually beyond you intellectual capacity of comprehension to digest information that will enable your chicken little pea to comment on anything happening in the here and now as you are so fucking thick…
Think about what you have just written you fucking dill
Well sorry am I missing something? What the fuck has this got to do with Gillard and Rudd? That is immaterial and irrelevant
I wont use dot points ( Nice one TB 🙂 )
It would seem that the PM and minister for education lied then misled parliament and were involved in a plot using a man who was sexually harassed as a pastie who they hung out to dry. Two LNP federal members were involves and also covered up and lied. This is actually way more serious than what Slipper has done, its an abuser of process.
(It’s still all innocous; even the dotted-line ruled under the bearer wine; apparently.)
“a late night alcohol- fuelled drinking session”
The best kind.
What’s the crime here, and who committed it?
‘What’s it got to do with Gillard?’
Only that she bribed/induced Slipper in the first place in order to avoid the consequences of her ripped up agreement with Wilkie.
The Liberals decided to get square, hence some are in a flap about them, but prefer to ignore all the proof that Gillard is as crooked as about any political leader we’ve had.
…and I’ll add-

So lefties don’t give a stuff that Slipper may have been sexually harassing Ashby.
I wonder what ALP/lefties would be saying if there was not some political advantage to be obtained from the situation.
What’s the crime here, and who committed it?
Isn’t it just that there are “Questions to be answered”? 😯
The Liberals decided to get square
If you call perverting the course of justice “getting square”, then …..
prefer to ignore all the proof that Gillard is as crooked as about any political leader we’ve had.
or the same as all the rest. Up until now.
So lefties don’t give a stuff that Slipper may have been sexually harassing Ashby.
Well, considering that the only judge to have seen all of the evidence concluded that it was a political fix up, and, considering not only did ashby ignore ALL normal processes for cases such as this, but also refused to go to court when he got his opportunity, it appears that ashby gives less of a stuff about it than any “lefty” I have come across.
(James Ashby’s case against Peter Slipper and the Commonwealth, and the associated infusion of media and political involvement, would have to be one of the grubbiest assaults on a government in recent memory.
Umm, maybe; more likely, though, the media was just doing what the media does; and all best forgotten, again, now, I guess.)
the media was just doing what the media does
You mean like gaudilly displaying every dirty little secret and accusation on their front pages for months, then completely forgetting to report that the judge deemed it an abuse of process in the end.
Of course the media don’t want to pursue this. It clearly demonstrates their empires lack of clothing.
The same goes for the AWU case and Gillard and her trewatment by the media
If the Royal Commission uncovers new information that shows Gillard received benefits improperly, then this is an indictment of journalists who kept insisting for years that Gillard had questions to answer, without their being able to uncover any information that required her response.
If the Royal Commission does not uncover any significant new information on this matter, other than that already chewed over by journalists, then this is an indictment of journalists who kept insisting for years that Gillard had questions to answer, without their being able to uncover any information that required her response.
In other words, journalists have let us down either way. In the latter instance, Patty and Sheehan are going to look stupid. They will diminish such credibility as they have in later dispatches.

And I see tabot is going to kick manufacturing again, and break ANOTHER election promise along the way
Prime Minister Tony Abbott said value for taxpayers must outweigh local job-creation considerations as he all but confirmed the government would break a pre-election promise to build new submarines at ASC in Adelaide, sparking a brawl with the South Australian government.
http://www.afr.com/p/national/japanese_subs_the_hard_nose_of_tough_5SJAz6oHuuAE9cdt3HeHmM
The submarine contract is likely to go to a Japanese bid, which would be about half the $40 billion cost of designing and building in Australia, although maintenance could be carried out in South Australia.
The cost of building 10 submarines in Japan is believed to be about $20 billion.
I wonder if a cost-benefit analysis was done?
Before the federal election, the Coalition promised unambiguously to build the new submarines at ASC.
So where are the front page spreads with tabots Pinocchio nose under the banner “he LIED!”?
‘I wonder if a cost-benefit analysis was done?’
Rule of thumb, but there is little doubt he told a blatant porky to get elected.

If you call perverting the course of justice “getting square”, then …..
How’s that?
All started because Gillard was so dishonourable in her dealings with Wilkie, Jenkins, the electorate, the parliament…
All started because Gillard was so dishonourable in her dealings with Wilkie
So, she knifed another politician. It happens all the time. Deals done in backrooms
Did she stand in front of a Submarine promising to build twelve of them, then outsource it once in power.
And if you don’t think that what ashby did was an abuse of process, read Justice Rares decision. And if you don’t think that Parliamentarians sneaking around stealing Diaries isn’t ethical, then you really need to reassess your morals imo.
(Yep; that Witch made ’em do it; even the bit where decalogue Kevin Andrews announced a reversal of LNP pokies policy, and told a bare-faced whopper to do it, to ensure that in-principle bipartisanship on pokies reform was at an end, just in time to frustrate billion-dollar-hospital Andrew Wilkie’s rustling up of the numbers.)
From your link reb
THE Australian Federal Police will reopen its investigation into the alleged unauthorised disclosure of Peter Slipper’s diaries.
Yea, but they didn’t do anything before, just closed it when the appeal went through.
They should have gone ahead themselves when ashby refused to make use of that appeal, as, weren’t there still “Questions to Answer”?
Speaking of questions, whose the numbskull in the libs who got ashby all pissed off again? The press and courts and police had buried this, but ashby himself has brought it back to life. Why?
‘Did she stand in front of a Submarine promising to build twelve of them, then outsource it once in power.’
No.
Seems Abbott admired the Japanese submariners who torpedoed Sydney Harbor so much he decided to recreate it in SA using the JAP FTA as a script
I guess this is just another “Say anything to get elected” lie we are supposed to thank him for…. #budgie smuggler emergency
Trog Sorrenson nailed it on pb this morning Ricky.
Japanese submarines for Australia?
If any words could accurately describe Japanese military behaviour in World War 2, it would be a Death Cult.
……………………….
And now the lying bastards in the Coalition are preparing the Australian public in general, and the South Australian public in particular, for the ditching of their pre-election promise that the new submarines would be built in SA, and going for Japanese subs instead.
……………….
So, instead of keeping advanced manufacturing skills in Australia, we are told by the likes of Pyne, Abbott and Johnston that the sub contract should be awarded purely on the basis of ‘performance’ and that the issue should not be conflated with industry or other policies.
Well, as a taxpayer, I would actually prefer to have a massive project like the submarine contract developed by Australians, even if it costs a bit more, because if you happen to work from a basis of economics and not just pure ideology, there are major industrial, social and security benefits to Australia from doing just that.
……………………..
Those reading this may ask why the hell I think it is productive to conflate the issue of Japanese behaviour in WW2 with an industrial contract. Well normally it wouldn’t make sense at all but for Tony ‘Captain Australia’ Abbott. Yes, the Japanese ‘who fought with honour’ are now our ‘very best friends’, and by the way, Shinzo, how would you like a billion dollar submarine contract? I am sure the Australian people won’t mind the sacrifice, just like some of our troops didn’t mind being beheaded in WW2.
http://blogs.crikey.com.au/pollbludger/2014/09/08/newspoll-52-48-to-labor-9/?comment_page=2/#comment-2048061
Read it all, it’s well worth it. If only our journos wish they could write like that.
I’m quite happy for people to go after Pyne, Brough, Abbott.
But ignoring Gillard’s leadership in the race to dishonourable behaviour regarding Slipper is ignoring more than half the story.
‘…decided to recreate it in SA using the JAP FTA as a script’
Its part of his utopian vision and there is a lot more where that came from.
But ignoring Gillard’s leadership in the race to dishonourable behaviour
yea yo,,, a pollie breaking a deal with a pollie is most “dishonourable ” isn’t it ROFL.
Especially a deal which the numbers in the house ensured could never be achieved either.
And, lets not forget, even though Gillard didn’t keep that part of the deal, Wilkie stayed with her over the other options he had.
Now, do you want to talk about events NOW, or keep dredging the past, again, and again, and again? (trick questions) 😉
‘do you want to talk about events NOW, or keep dredging the past’
I prefer the third way, let’s talk about the future.
“Shinzo, how would you like a billion dollar submarine contract? I am sure the Australian people won’t mind the sacrifice, just like some of our troops didn’t mind being beheaded in WW2.””
I trust you are suffering similar “”discomfort” and faux outrage at selling iron ore and beef (to name just 2) to the Death Cult Japs.
O
get a grip wally, and read what was written. Otherwise, you’re just going to look sillier than you already do.
“”So, instead of keeping advanced manufacturing skills in Australia,…………..””
I think you meant to say…………………………..
“So, instead of keeping advanced job subsidy programs in South Australia,……………..”
“Those reading this may ask why the hell I think it is productive to conflate the issue of Japanese behaviour in WW2 with an industrial contract .. .I am sure the Australian people won’t mind the sacrifice, just like some of our troops didn’t mind being beheaded in WW2.”
Presumably the same logic applies to Japanese cars, televisions, stereos, etc. And to anything made in Germany, because of their behaviour in WW2. I guess Trog doesn’t drive a BMW or Volkswagen, because that would mean Australians who build Holdens and Fords would be making a sacrifice for him.
“”………..because if you happen to work from a basis of economics and not just pure ideology, there are major industrial, social and security benefits to Australia from doing just that.””
Yeah………….and the Collins Class have been such a raging success in build quality……..ROFLMAO
“”Otherwise, you’re just going to look sillier than you already do.””
As if equating something that Abbott said about a Middle Eastern death cult with a Japanese Submarine program does not look just downright fucking moronic already.
“So, instead of keeping advanced job subsidy programs in South Australia,……………..”
Yea, like the Japanese don’t subsidies their industries.
As if equating something that Abbott said about a Middle Eastern death cult with a Japanese Submarine program
Like I said, read it, as the comparison was with the middle east death cult chopping off heads, and our PM congratulating the Japs for doing that to our soldiers in WW2.
Reading is so hard for some.
Yeah………….and the Collins Class have been such a raging success in build quality
You mean those subs that are the only ones to consistently avoid detection by the US in war games. Those ones?
“”….our PM congratulating the Japs for doing that to our soldiers in WW2.””
Could you go get the exact quote …………..or was he repeating the words said at the time ?

I think you will find they are in dry dock because they don’t have crews. The days of the teething problems are over, by and large.
I also recall tabot telling us that the cost overruns for the planes they are getting are fine, because you expect this with high precision weaponry, but he doesn’t give our own workers the same leeway.
That pretty much says it all.

fcken wombats
Mal Brough and James Ashby should be prosecuted over Slipper case:
No shit, should have happened back then. AFP far to busy elsewhere at the time.
Labor has seized on Mr Brough’s admission, with Queensland backbencher Graham Perrett writing to Commissioner Tony Negus, requesting the AFP “urgently conduct a formal investigation” into Mr Brough’s actions.
Mr Perrett believed Mr Brough’s conduct could breach the Criminal Code and Crimes Act. “That conduct could constitute a serious crime,” Mr Perrett wrote to the commissioner.
Can anyone enlighten me on exactly what crime(s) is/are being alleged?
Can anyone enlighten me on exactly what crime(s) is/are being alleged?
Don’t get ahead of yourself Tony.
First, there are “Questions to Answer!” 😉
pssst Tony, this might give you a hint as to what “could constitute a serious crime”
On Sunday, Mr Brough was questioned on 60 Minutes whether he had asked former Speaker’s aide James Ashby to “procure copies of Peter Slipper’s diary” for Mr Brough’s use. Mr Brough, who won the seat of Fisher from Mr Slipper at the 2013 federal election, responded “Yes I did.”
yes tomR, if heads don’t roll after such an abuse of the justice system to bring down a government, I can only believe that the AFP colludes with the LNP to protect them from any prosecution from illegality and that we lack a separation of powers.
https://twitter.com/JoshBBornstein/status/508492781656895488
When it was Craig Thomson with “questions to answer”, this is the response from those that have since self banned from this site-
• He’s innocent
• Think of the baby
• It’s a media beat up
• Look over there at that odd Liberal Senator, she shoplifted!
• When Howard was Prime Minister….
• He’s not been charged
• He’s not been convicted
• Let the courts decide
So with regard to Christopher Pyne, I’ll only say –
THINK OF THE BABY!!
“THINK OF THE BABY!!”

Will #Ashby explain how & why he clocked up a $2 million plus legal bill on such a minor case? And then gave up before the hearing?
No 😉
Walrus are you saying we should subsadise Japanese Manufacturing? The government has no social contract in this consideration? No thought of the economic VAR and flow on’s benefits to the SA economy? spoken like a true bean counter. 🙄 Are you Just another compliant Kamikaze to these corporate FTA death cults of the apparently “free market economy?” What complete hypocritical bollocks.. How do these lying LNP dogs sleep at night… FMD… That CUNT Pyne representing his constituency is Torry filth.
I can only believe that the AFP colludes with the LNP
I’d drawn that conclusion a few years ago ao 😦
If you’re interested in history, the ashby saga has a lot in common with the hanson ‘fix’ and the common denominator in both is tony abbott.
…It is one thing, however, to wish to counter a political threat. It is another to actively promote and assist in legal proceedings to that end. Mr Abbott is not entitled to lie later about his involvement in this activity, whether to the media, a constituent, or the Parliament. Mr Abbot now concedes he twice arranged pro-bono lawyers to assist Mr Sharples. His actions have a whiff of the old offence of maintenance and champerty, meddling in another’s law suit for his own advantage…

He said she said and on and on it goes.
Apparently Abbott going to Slippers wedding is evidence of a conspiracy. But Kevin Rudd going to the same wedding is not.
What a waste of time and energy.
The only thing worth discussing is why did Gillard make Slipper speaker with so much innuendo floating around this man. Surely that was a bad lapse of judgement. Gillards judgement was pathetic and explains why she was such a bad PM.
“”Walrus are you saying we should subsadise Japanese Manufacturing?””
How are we subsidising Japanese Manufacturing ?
You could say that about anyone buying an imported Toyota, Nissan, Mitsubishi, Hona etc…………
Its simply a case of a heavily unionised inefficient and costly workplace finally reaping what they have sewn over the years they have held the Taxpayer to ransom.
The same thing is happening wiith Woodside Petroleum and the GAS Train ( it takes the impurities out of the gas and compresses it) on the Northwest Shelf in WA.
It has now become so uneconomic to build the Gas Train at Tom Price Point that they are going to now build a floating gas train so they don’t need to bother with the MUA and CFMEU demands.
The gas wont even land in WA now. It goes straight from the ocean onto a boat and off to the death cultists in Japan

Melbourne Ports MP Michael Danby alleges James Ashby has perjured himself by his comments on 60 Minutes last night. The Ashbygate Trust reports.
http://www.independentaustralia.net/politics/politics-display/michael-danby-refers-james-ashby-to-federal-dpp,6876
…Taking him at his word, James Ashby claims to have been induced by Liberal MPs into making his sordid claims against Peter Slipper. What he told 60 Minutes last night about these alleged inducements directly contradicts what Mr Ashby put on oath in a sworn affidavit (See attached copy of the false account in Ashby’s affidavit). Accordingly, I will be writing to the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions today, inviting him to immediately investigate whether perjury has occurred. At the very least this claim of inducements should have been available to the appeal judges when they reviewed Justice Rare’s judgement on these matters.
Let’s hope Danby has the tenacity to push for answers..
The real story behind ICAC, Peta Credlin and Brickworks:
http://www.businessspectator.com.au/article/2014/9/9/policy-politics/real-story-behind-icac-peta-credlin-and-brickworks
…It’s rubbish. But the truth is far more sinister and, indeed, bizarre.
The interaction between the Liberal Party and Brickworks’ chief executive in fact provides an insight into how business representatives faithful to the Liberal Party were skilfully used to assist Tony Abbott in an elaborate lie to scare the Australian people into voting for him…
…Brickworks is listed as the recipient of government grants totaling $17 million, which would support energy efficiency projects that, the company claimed, were expected to save it $11.7 million per annum on its energy bill.
In other words, not only did Brickworks pass on price increases exceeding the carbon cost to its business but, in addition, it took funding from a carbon pricing initiative to save it money on its energy bill; funding that was substantially greater than its entire carbon price liability…
That’s your Rebuttal Wally? Kind of pathetic mate in not addressing the real issues with some hyperventilating about it being the unions fault..what do you have Eggy Squeal disease today?
Don’t know if anyone has been following Russell Brand’s war against Faux News. His rebuttal style of deconstructing agenda is both intelligent, sartorially elegant and funny as.

The only thing worth discussing is why did Gillard make Slipper speaker with so much innuendo floating around this man. Surely that was a bad lapse of judgement. Gillards judgement was pathetic and explains why she was such a bad PM.
What about howard and costello’s and abbott’s judgement of this man??
After all, he was their guy for 20yrs, continually endorsed by the party and they knew all about the sleaze and innuendo all that time.
The only time they wanted rid of him was when mal brough was desperate for a job because he got shafted by qld lib/nats…and mal was prepared to be very useful behind the scenes wasn’t he?

I notice Abbott’s resident Acolytes are still attempting to shift the discussion from the Conspiracy of Abbott*, Pyne, Brough, Ashby and his co-conspirators …
(I mean the Boss has said it “finished” …
However, on a subject I’ve always found interesting …
Collins Class Submarine introduced in 1996 … mmm … who was in power then?
No proper sustainment system in place since entry into service … mmmm … during who’s reign?
Acceptable level of reliability and availability in three years? (Written in 2011 … mmmm …)
sustaining them into the future would be more challenging than if would have been to establish them when the Collins Class first entered service in 1996.
Mmmmmm … who commissioned them?
Importantly!
The Report made 25 recommendations to restore the Collins Class fleet to an international benchmark by 2016.
And I do think that an RAN submarine is quite a bit different from a BMW or a Sony TV … from a national security perspective if nothing else …
Its simply a case of a heavily unionised inefficient and costly workplace finally reaping what they have sewn over the years they have held the Taxpayer to ransom.
What a bunch of ideological claptrap.
Every country subsidizes industries, We also had the added obstruction of a high dollar thanks to miners making a mint.
This govmint has thrown in the towel, probably along the same lines as your rant

If that actually really mattered we would have kept our oil refineries which are now being closed down (announced during ALP years).
Oh hang on……………………….we could always order some nuclear powered subs…………..I don’t se you arguing for that………………oh that’s right…………………I forgot about that other problem even saying “nuclear””
… reaping what they have sewn …
That’s the clothing industry, Wally, not the car industry …
Unless you meant … sown? As in the bible an’ other shite stories?
Anyway it’ll be the tax and accounting people soon as the robots take over (well non-human ones anyway) …
… then they too will reap what they have sown … which isn’t too much really … all they do is shine their arses (and other arseholes, arses), they don’t actually make or grow or catch or mine anything … they just sit there with their gobs dribbling shite and punching keys … and collecting money of people who actually do stuff …
You should get out and get a real job … you might have to join a union tho’ … y’know sorta like the one your in now … the CPA* isn’t it?
I have no problem with nuclear subs … providing we power them using Generation IV plants and thorium …
Something I’ve commented on quite a lot over the last five years … obviously way over you head …
“That seems to be just you, it, no-one has even hinted at that … you do get in a muddle reading all those LNP memes …”
I must have misinterpreted these comments from further up the page.
Gillard said all bets are off when the sleazy Torry liberal prick (personally endorsed by Abbott who attended his wedding) was found to be the grub he is.
a sleaze and rorter that the libs had in their camp for 20 years and tony abbott even attended his wedding.
Apparently Rudd and Slipper are good friends and Rudd even attended his wedding. Apparently this is a crime in leftie land.
You people are looking for something that does not exist- a conspiracy
“”… they just sit there with their gobs dribbling shite and punching keys …””

Apparently Abbott going to Slippers wedding is evidence of a conspiracy. But Kevin Rudd going to the same wedding is not … I must have misinterpreted these comments from further up the page.

sustaining them into the future would be more challenging than if would have been to establish them when the Collins Class first entered service in 1996.”””
The Collins were fraught with problems during manufacture … ask any green site production manager what that’s like (yeah, I did that too!) … the problem we have now is all that knowledge and skill gained over the last – what?- thirty years will simply go down the gurgler … and the speed that this decision is being made tells you one of two things … they are making decisions off the top of their heads … or they decided to do it before the election and LIED … and are still making decisions off the top of their heads … CBA, please! ROI, please!
Nice try Wally but you are doing what Kneel – (and all the tories are trying to do) – abrogate any responsibility to the ALP … they are no longer in power … just as they weren’t in power for the TWELVE years of Howards reign …

Ciao
“Because the problems all occurred after commissioning … you do understand the term? ”
I have always agreed with Beazley and the ALP and what they did. But since we had never built submarines before i always suspected there would be problems. Manufacturing is not our strong suit. And i disagree with buying our submarines from Japan although i can understand the logic. We should be building one submarine every 7 years and keep the production line going.
But i don’t think it is correct that all problems occurred after commissioning.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collins-class_submarine#Entry_into_service
“The first submarine, HMAS Collins, was laid down in February 1990.[5] Collins’ launch was originally planned for 1994, but was later set for 28 August 1993………Within weeks of the launch, Collins was removed from the water, and it was not until June 1994 that the submarine was completed………Collins was not commissioned into the RAN until 27 July 1996; eighteen months behind schedule, because of several delays and problems, most relating to the provision and installation of the combat data system software
A few years ago it was estimated that it would cost $40 billion to build 12 subs in SA, by comparison a $20 billion deal with the Japanese is prudent.
Abbott is shoring up the alliance.
Manufacturing is not our strong suit.
The evidence disagrees with you. I’ll admit though, our management is shithouse, but we sure can (could) make stuff that was world class.
Unfortunately, this govmint doesn’t want us to. They have thrown the towel in, and just want us to either dig shit up, or wait on tables.
Short sighted asswipes.
As TB said, they have just thrown away twenty plus years of development expertise in that area, after throwing 50 odd years of automotive capability down the toilet for ideological purposes.
And all for what, to save a few million off this years bottom line? Shit, they handed out ten times more than that to their corporate spivs. And just wait until the bill for the japs subs comes in (with the obligatory increases in production costs). Then look at the bottom line.
Short sighted asswipes.

Only those which need a subsidy to survive.

You mean like the mining companies?
“Stay away from the Fukashima oysters Wally””
I did………………….but only because I’m allergic to oysters. No other seafood………..just oysters for some reason.
Not that “high powered”” in the end. A current NSW minister was supposed to give a speech on infrastructure in unison with an infrastructure financier (Yep ……………Yaaaaaaaaaaaaawn……………..but I have to know about these things) but the Minister was a no show for family reasons (Dunno maybe his wife was fronting ICAC today)
Anyway the lobster and crab were great as was the Petaluma
Its true that mining companies receive direct subsidy of around $4 billion a year to build roads and stuff. I imagine this practice is bipartisan and should be condemned.
to build roads and stuff.
That only they use, in order for them to make money. So they receive a subsidy.
Its against my better judgment to even respond to Eggs stupidity but… 🙄
As in subsidise Australian manufacturing jobs and money that stays in the Australian economy with obvious flow on effects to build Submarines subsidised by the taxpayer?
Or
subsadise this failed governments hypocrisy in breaking another election promise?
Or
support a foreign industry heavily subsidised by the Japanese government that will add to that “deficit emergency” so incredibly important to this government’s sabre rattling
Or
Subsidise the FTA geo Murdochro-gerontocracy corporate NWO of military hardware war machine propagated by corporations to maintain market control for profit?
Your a genius Egg, a real intellectual giant 😯
