Senator Nova Peris sought taxpayers’ money for freaky “Tim Tam” extra-marital sexual tryst with Olympic medallist Ato Boldon
Less than two weeks ago, Australian Olympians Nova Peris and Cathy Freeman were photographed together smiling, with their arms draped around each other’s shoulders.
The photograph, one of a series taken at a function in Melbourne on October 17, describes those in the images as “friends” and was posted on the Cathy Freeman Foundation Facebook page and Twitter account.
But, if a series of private emails reportedly sent by Senator Peris in 2010, before she entered politics, are to be believed, she once held a less-than-favourable view of Freeman, her 4×400 metre track-and-field team mate from the Sydney Olympics.
“Like Freeman here, she is so so dumb (sad but true) and has a national profile of running fast achieving awesome things but seriously can’t talk for shit, and has zero communication skills,” Senator Peris reportedly wrote in the email in 2010 to Olympian Ato Boldon.
The Gutter Trash has obtained explicit email exchanges between Senator Peris, who at the time was an Athletics Australia ambassador and communication officer with the Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies, and Boldon, the four-time Olympic medal winner from Trinidad and Tobago.
The disgusting email exchange suggests Senator Peris used taxpayers’ money to bring Boldon to Australia to help her carry out an extra-marital affair with him.
Senator Peris and Boldon have denied any wrongdoing in relation to his 10-day trip to Australia.
In a statement, Boldon said there were “gross fabrications” in the story.
In this so-called string of emails, Senator Peris allegedly discusses setting up a global foundation that would be known for “delivering outcomes (sports, health and education) … for indigenous people”, and tells Boldon of her frank assessment of Cathy Freeman.
” … I don’t want to say oh s*** I wish I had of f***** Ato when he came to Australia … lol … cause I regret that I didn’t 10 years ago, wish I wasn’t the reserved person I was back then the shy girl..lol…,” Senator Peris allegedly wrote.
SORDID TIM TAM SEX SCANDAL COULD END SENATOR’S POLITICAL CAREER!
But wait there’s more!
Nova Peris also sought taxpayers’ money to help her to carry out an extra-marital sexual tryst with Olympic medallist Ato Boldon in 2010 according to an EXCLUSIVE GUTTER TRASH PROBE!
Ms Peris, who was working as a communication officer with the Australian Institute of Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Studies at the time and as ambassador for Athletics Australia, sought funds from Athletics Australia and other sources to pay for Mr Boldon’s trip to Australia from Los Angeles to take part in a 10 day official “Jump Start to London” program for young athletes.
She also used that trip to carry out a “just like a Tim-tam… black on black” affair with Mr Boldon. She was married to Daniel Batman at the time.
“Ato…tell me babe…what u want … Make a bit of money and spend time together … I will take time of from work to be with u,” Ms Peris wrote in an email exchange obtained by The Gutter Trash
Mr Boldon responded: “Purpose is time with u plus attend trials plus help them promote the trials and possibly guest broadcast on the tv station carrying it…need hotel ticket plus 15,000 US…”
Athletics Australia confirmed they did pay for Mr Boldon’s flight to Melbourne from Los Angeles and covered his accommodations and some “incidentals” while in Australia…
In other emails obtained by The Gutter Trash, Ms Peris sent multiple nude pictures of herself to Mr Boldon and spoke candidly about her views on race relations in Australia.
“…You should be compensated for your long haul travels across the pacific.. sexually of course… but only .. a tired traveller should kick back for a few days,” Ms Peris says on Feb 28, 2010…
Ms Peris responded to questions posed by The Gutter Trash last night, saying she “categorically rejects any wrongdoing”.
“During his trip Mr Boldon promoted athletics, attended and promoted specific events and conducted clinics for young Indigenous athletes,” she said.
“…I understand Athletics Australia was pleased with the outcome of the visit… The highs and lows of my private life are matters for me and my family.”
In earlier emails from February 26, 2010, Ms Peris assures Mr Boldon she will find the money for him.
“…all expenses paid meals & accom and a fee!! Don’t know what it is I was thinking around the $10k I don’t know bub…if your purpose was to come here and make a bit of money or holiday…it was not in the budget to bring any profile athletes out but…I am goin through the indigenous grants mob….they can do was I have suggested…but I am not sure what they can do …”
Ms Peris was married to Olympian Daniel Batman, the father of two of her three children, at the time….
The exact total of money Mr Boldon received is unclear but in an email from mid-March, Ms Peris writes that she had managed to round up $22,000 for him, on top of the money Athletics Australia paid.
“It’s not that I don’t think it is unreasonable, and i totally agree you should be paid up front, its just that the money is government funds…
“…this is all black money babe…..but rightly so being used for the interest of indigenous kids babe….white people hate black people in this country, and don’t like for things to happen if there is no salt in the mix….”

Political Dead Meat !
Earlier, the Australian Sports Commission came to the defence of the dual international, saying an independent audit of the program at the centre of the scandal found no wrongdoing.

Although I was never a supporter of her appointment (“because she is an Olympian she has to good”) … and likewise Peter Garrett …
Reading the news.com.au story below the white gutter trash one … I’m inclined to cut Peris a bit of slack …
NT News … wants to be a bit careful methinks … as does the source …
NT News is owned by Murdoch … (as well as news.com.au)
But as Murdoch knows mud sticks … and at a corporate level they can argue they presented both sides … clever …
Hmm, should the lawsuit go ahead, and should these emails turn out to be from a private account, the fireworks should be interesting.
What is more interesting is that ltdnews were just recently running an outrage campaign about a professors public emails being made …. public, which reflected directly on a political matter of the time.
Yes, I can see the similarity 😯
“Documents provided to the NT News are private. It appears they were not lawfully obtained by a third party,” Senator Peris said in a statement.
It appears Senator Peris’ may have pre-empted the release of the emails and referred the matter to police as early as October 2.
An AFP spokesperson said in a statement: “The AFP received a referral on 2 October 2014 from Senator Nova Peris in relation to a number of matters.”
“The AFP is continuing to evaluate this referral as per usual process,” said the spokesperson.
http://www.theage.com.au/federal-politics/political-news/afp-received-nova-peris-request-a-month-before-email-publication-20141030-11e1q4.html
YEA
The AFP got a heads up, and then ltdnews did.
Nothing fishy there
Obviously some of the mud is sticking to Walrus’ fingers right now … proving the point …
The AFP got a heads up, and then ltdnews did.
You’d think, Wally, did too the way he’s carrying on …
Oh I see according to the Guardian there was no specific audit into all the allegations as there were no allegations when the annual audit was conducted which is what they appear to be relying upon.
Seems at this stage they are just relying on the standard auditors annual statement.
Which it seems was issued well before the “affair/connection” was uncovered.
Auditors dont examine every transaction. They examine samples of transactions randomly selected plus anything that looks “fishy”.
With the emergence of the emails it looks like some rotting fish might be uncovered LOL.
But even if she is cleared there are clear overtones of racism in her emails which the public wont tolerate. She sounds like yet another ALP Victim………………..and we know how well its last “victim” went…………..LOL
As far as the Professor you cite is concerned he is a fucking dickhead of course.
And besides “We love our Cathy….!”
Nova can get well and truly………
The worst might yet be to come.
There was talk this morning on the Radio that naked selfies of Nova that she sent to Ato were also about to hit the headlines………………..
Jennifer Lawrence I can take……………but Nova Perris………………….Lord spare us
“…this is all black money babe…..”
Too right!!
And when it’s “black money” it should be rorted as any well connected “black person” wishes. Particularly if they need a
rootrort.But even if she is cleared there are clear overtones of racism in her emails which the public wont tolerate.
Can you highlight where. I haven’t read much, I don’t really want to.
It really is gutter journalism. To be expected by ltdnews, not by a site called the Gutter Trash 😉
Seems at this stage they are just relying on the standard auditors annual statement.
How dare they!
An independent audit of the $445,000 given to Athletics Australia for a program at the centre of allegations against Senator Nova Peris found no misuse of the money
http://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2014/oct/30/nova-peris-allegations-audit-found-no-misuse-of-money-sports-commission-says?CMP=soc_568
If an audit found nothing wrong with the program, I guess we need a Royal Commission.
But even if she is cleared
Of what? This is the bloody Gillard circus all over isn’t it. How fucken blatant can they be.
The AFP have been sitting on this for a month. How long did it take to uncover who exposed yabots free education for family rort? I’m pretty sure this one will come up blank, just like the Ashby matter. Meanwhile, like you say, the piccies are next.
Here’s a little excerpt……………….
Nova to Ato
“…this is all black money babe…..but rightly so being used for the interest of indigenous kids babe….white people hate black people in this country, and don’t like for things to happen if there is no salt in the mix….”
Sounds accurate to me.
“How dare they!”
Yeah………how dare they……………………..afterall Enron and HIH and Lehrman Brothers et al had the same thing to rely upon LOL
So, it appears that whoever got the emails threatened to blackmail, when that didn’t work out, ltdnews did the dirty for ’em.
Nice mob, those “journalists”
3:56pm: Senator Peris says the “aggrieved party” in the dispute contacted her earlier this month saying they were in possession of emails and threatened her that their release would cause “major trauma”.
The party had tried to obtain money from her in return for the emails, Senator Peris says.
When that failed, Senator Peris says, the party turned to News Corp which was made aware of the circumstances behind the emails.
http://www.smh.com.au/federal-politics/the-pulse-live/federal-politics-live-october-30-2014-20141030-3j64n.html#ixzz3HbMUHK9y
“Sounds accurate to me.”
ROFLMAO………………..yeah……..we need another “victim”
From the Guardian article
“Sometimes emails will fall into the public interest, and sometimes they will fall into what the public are interested in,” he said. “That’s a constant test that journalists and editors are going to have to go through for a long time.”
Obviously, when it has been used as blackmail, it is obviously in ‘the public interest’
The AFP are only looking at how the emails got out from what I can see though I will stand to be corrected
She’s the one claiming blackmail I note from Cowards Castle.

Your comments over the years have demonstrated a lack of empathy for children and the way parents (and grandparents) protect them … I suspect I know why …
“a lack of empathy for children…
Really!!??? Are you serious??!!
Anyone who has a little baggage and indulges themselves by going into politics has already ignored the interests of their children.
mmmm … nervous shrieking, ToM … you might recall this was/is over a custody battle … the kids … not politics …
Lack of empathy here too, methinks, and for the same reason?
I’m just seeing what’s in the fridge… cheesey things, some tomatoes, relish etc… Now where did I put the crackers….
Hardly shrieking TB, but if you’re going into politics you might as well assume that you’ll have a couple of hundred people sifting through your private life looking for something embarrassing.
People go into politics with that knowledge, and they put their political ambitions in front of their family, which is fine if that’s what they choose. But it is disingenuous to whinge about it.
AND MAYBE I SHOULD HAVE USED THIS TO EMPHASISE THE POINT!!
WHATEVER HAPPENED TO DECENCY AND GOOD MANNERS IN MY COUNTRY
John Howard and Tony Abbott springs to mind …
No wonder she’s talking about Tm Tams…
That is classic ToM
Yep
Comedy Gold ToM

You are just such a fucking Moron on so many levels.
ROLF TOM…:-)
That’s gold ToM!
I’m assuming this is the immediate payback for the prof. Spurr racism & bigotry expose. The short attention span of the population has already been directed to a sex story, does that beat racism? Black people and sex, way more titillating. Professor who?

# Attempted Blackmail
lt seems like Limited-News is back-peddling a bit, and Mr-Talkbull has basically said its grubby of ntnews to run the emails, and reckless from the legality angle.(paraphrased)
l`m also left wondering if Limited-News hacked capts-picks email.
Why would they limit their hacking to phones.?
The short attention span of the population has already been directed to a sex story
Was interesting the timing, considering that it’s been over a month.
There was big news yesterday, Direct Action (ROFL) went in, where the gubmint will be paying polluters, costing us billions, after losing billions already in the scrapping of the Carbon Price.
But the “news” didn’t mention it. It was all about Tim Tams
And nobody has explained how this is all in the public interest. From my understanding, Nova Peris wasn’t in charge of directing Government funds, so how can this be of ‘public interest’?
Professor who?
Forget the professor ao, what the fuck happened with the story that is directly in the public interest about yabots daughter getting a free uni education, and then the uni getting public money
All directly linked to the person able to direct the flow of public money
# Attempted Blackmail
Note to self. If blackmail fails, and recipient of said blackmail is ‘left’ leaning, contact rupe.
Job Done.
Peris is a disappointment. Gillard should have stuck to her nose instead of making this Captain’s Pick.
Does that somehow explain the “Public Interest” sb?
Looks like the last royal commission flopped too, so yabots doubling down
Prime Minister Tony Abbott is expected to launch a multi-state police taskforce to investigate suspected ties between organised crime and union officials when he campaigns with Victorian Premier Denis Napthine for the first time on Friday.

“There is no place for standover tactics, violence or intimidation in Australian workplaces,” Mr Abbott told News Ltd.

That`s right. Violence should stay where it belongs, on universities walls, beside chair-things heads.

If an MP has said they will seek to find a way of getting some taxpayer funds to get their lover some leisure, money. sex… then they should be prepared to cop the flack.
The Senator entered parliament knowing that there would be a range of ALP and conservative people out to settle a score, it’s no use whinging now.
“this made me laugh”
The Royal Commission has so far uncovered plenty of evidence of unsavory possibly illegal union activity.
Is this how you prefer to have industrial relations and unions run?
If an MP has said they will seek to find a way of getting some taxpayer funds to get their lover some leisure, money. sex… then they should be prepared to cop the flack
But she wasn’t an MP yomm, and she had no decision making over the spending of the funds. She was an Ambassador, and could make suggestions, but hat is all.
So, wherein lies the Public Interest?
The Royal Commission has so far uncovered plenty of evidence of unsavory possibly illegal union activity.
The Royal Commission has so far uncovered plenty of allegations of unsavory possibly illegal union activity.
Fixed it for ya yomm 😉
Absolutely AO.. Its what they do
They would throw baby’s into the fire for a deflective poll hit to veil their fucktardery. The propaganda arm of fiberal central is busier than Dancing with the stars … the duck and weave chacha
This seems to be a titillation-driven beat-up in the sense that we know that pollies use their perks also for their private benefit including trysts. Even WA Greens as I recall.
Peris was a paruchuted into a station above her ideas at the expense of a long-serving senator. She deserves all the sniggering mockery she gets.
“But she wasn’t an MP
So? The story illustrates her character and a willingness to lobby to rort public funds for her personal interests. I think it’s in the interest of the public to understand the character of politicians.
For example, I’m not bothered by “tell it to the wall” type comments about Abbott, even though he was a teenager when that event allegedly took place.
plenty of allegations of unsavory possibly illegal union activity.
Fine, they are allegations that should continue to be investigated, in the interests of orderly industrial relations and workplaces free of bullying and harassment
to rort public funds
How can someone not in charge of public fund rort them yomm?
And it is far different from yabots wall punching. All it shows is that as an Ambassador, she achieved what the program wanted.
Tho `our` corporate personal fluffer will always be bothered about the criminality/negligence of boardrooms, no matter how many are killed or maimed. #teabags
Simple, if you’re well connected and determined to lobby an organisation that you work for, without fully disclosing your personal interests and relationships, rorting is easy.
That seems to be what Peris did.
Diversionary Murdochary as PM Clive Palmer runs the fiberal party… Tony is busy dexterous girly man, what with blowing Clive and copping it up the catholic from Murdoch…

Why am I not surprised
The source of the emails categorically denies the claims of financial blackmail alleged within the safe confines of Cowards Castle
Which also explains why the AFP only made mention of investigating the leak itself not claims of blackmail.
Someone wheel out the credibility shredding machine
“…..without fully disclosing your personal interests and relationships, rorting is easy.””
Exactly !
”””””’the AFP only made mention of investigating the leak itself not claims of blackmail.

l suspect that will turn-out being wrong blubbers.
Capt-pick told senate she has notified/requested afp investigate the hacking, which will then reveal `blackmailer`(from-tv-clip)
OK……..fair enough……………………….but she still did not disclose her clear conflict of interest when she put forward Ato’s name even if there was no rorting/directing funds
Speaking of bullshit speeches to the House/Senate…………………….Thommo’s appeal is back in the Court in November
‘She deserves all the sniggering mockery she gets.’
Yep
Is this really rorting? If it was legitimate to have an elite athlete visit and perform services why not get someone with a big package who is prepared to use it? I’m sure Senator Lambie would approve.
Lets have another royal commission after Crucifixion by terrorgraph in the court or Murdoch opinion.. I know you teabaggers love them. She’s black so maybe a lynching? Off with her head… 🙄
If she slept with him its immaterial…
What is the inappropriate… Please provide me with some facts.. or is this just another allege sledge…
Is she charged? Stood down? put you penis’s back in the pouch and save the blog flog till there is some real eventuality proof of misusing taxpayers money…
Tony Abbott is Australia’s undisputed champion gold medal rorter
inappropriate…sorry misappropriation (fkn P Txt)
”””conflict of interest when she put forward Ato’s name”””
oh, l`m not `defending` capts-pick at this stage blubbers,
l accept she wasn`t `allocating`funds, but at this stage l`m still `neutral`, as it`s not clear to me capts-pick was/nt `influencing` the person that was. l`m mainly interested in the teabag-media `entanglement` of this story. 🙂
If you’re an “ambassador ” for a publicly funded organisation and you use your influence to get a job for your secret boyfriend, that’s dubious.
“sniggering mockery”
NTTAWWT
When it comes to `influence`, boardrooms set the pace, style and tone of what is `legitimate` influence. So when we have corporations hiring ex-ministers to influence governments, to say, sign-up to their next toll-road deal, and then corporations claim it is `within` the `scope` of their job, this then becomes the standard of clap-trap which becomes `legitimate` for politicians and onions. Not that `our` corporate personal fluffer would ever acknowledge that; what goes around, comes around. #teabags
Seems like the sort of professional to engage with Aboriginal kids to me … gold medal?
Check his tally in the side box …
The more you look at this the more its a beat up … where’s Mal Brough and Chrissy Pyne in all this I wonder …
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ato_Boldon
Simple, if you’re well connected and determined to lobby an organisation that you work for, without fully disclosing your personal interests and relationships, rorting is easy.
That seems to be what Peris did.
seems. How do we know she didn’t disclose. She might not have said the full story (not that it is any of their or any one elses business), but it would have been well known that they were friends.
but she still did not disclose her clear conflict of interest when she put forward Ato’s name even if there was no rorting/directing funds
so, no rorting, no Public Interest. Thanks 😉
From Ken Parish
Judging by the publicly revealed facts, It seems that Peris was working as a paid Ambassador for Athletics Australia at the material time in 2010. Unless her duties involved having some specific role in proposing, assessing or approving visits by overseas athletes like Boldon, it is difficult to see how any claim of “misuse of public funds” could plausibly be made.
….
The most you could say is that it might have been preferable in a private ethical sense had Peris disclosed her personal relationship with Boldon.1 She couldn’t be accused of “misuse of public funds” if she had no role at all in deciding how those funds were used.
…..
Nevertheless, if I was advising Nova Peris, I would be suggesting she think carefully before commencing court proceedings. She certainly should demand a retraction and apology from the newspaper, and consider suing if one is not promptly forthcoming, but it usually isn’t a good idea for a politician to engage in an ongoing feud with the only metropolitan newspaper in her electorate.
http://clubtroppo.com.au/2014/10/30/the-peris-affair-perhaps-ethically-dubious-but-not-legally/
The last is so true 😦
I understand that ltdnews has already started with the ‘she has questions to answer’ schtick
It is so blatant it’s almost laughable.
And some claim having a rabidly biased media isn’t a problem 😯
Tell to Nova Peris’s kids!
Missing the point (I think)
I recall a senior manager with an airline who was dismissed over a cleaning contract for a relative, even though it was through competitive tender. It was the lack of transparency that was the issue.
I also recall an HR manager being dismissed for engaging his wife’s training consultancy without adequate disclosure.
Transparency and disclosure are the critical elements, not skill or capability, if people don’t understand that they’re really not familiar with good, ethical business practice.
<I<" but it would have been well known that they were friends"
Got any actual proof of that?
It is entirely clear that she was lobbying for boyfriend/lover and was not disclosing the nature of the relationship.
That’s dubious, and the public should be aware of dubious behaviour by politicians.
” but it would have been well known that they were friends”
So her husband was OK on the idea ?
ROFLMAO
I wonder if Ato’s package amounts to a secret commission?
“………so, no rorting, no Public Interest. Thanks”
Verballing yet again I see………
I’ll put it in a much simpler way for you. At a minimum there is a conflict of interest which has not been disclosed even if there is no rorting/inappropriate redirection of public funds. And its a big “if”
“ethically dubious” in the article quoted by Tom R.
So Tom R thinks we should overlook “ethically dubious” behaviour by all politicians?
“She couldn’t be accused of “misuse of public funds” if she had no role at all in deciding how those funds were used.”
Crap !
If she has been asked to research who is available for the task and she only puts one name (without disclosing an intimate relationship) then that is gross abuse of her position.
Interesting how here we have a situation where 2 people are fucking each others brains out and you don’t see a problem yet 2 people supposedly “sharing an office” at FWA was a major problem a few months ago.
So Tom R thinks we should overlook “ethically dubious” behaviour by all politicians?
No. But, if I point out a gain, Nova wasn’t a Politician at the time, and “ethically dubious” is no reason to publish intimate and private emails across major news sheets. It is of no Public Interest as it has no bearing on her actions as an MP
If she has been asked
If she’d been in the wrong, then she’d have been in the wrong ROFL
Got any actual proof of that?

She wasn’t a public servant either wally.. So not even ‘possibly’ Keep trawling, I’m sure there are questions to be asked (none require a response though, the smear is done)
I think this is a good question. Why nothing from the AFP on some, immediate attention and full force on others. Now too busy investigation accusations into Unions (no evidence, who needs that)
Grog nails yabots hypocrisy and obvious class warfare
Tony Abbott’s call for a “mature” debate about federalism and the GST should be no shock to anyone. It was on the cards the moment the May budget revealed that funding to the states for health and education was to be cut by $80bn from 2017-18 onwards. But while a GST may help raise more revenue, the government must address the fact that any increase in GST will hurt the poorest the most – the same households targeted in the government’s first budget.
While a mature debate is always welcome, the timing of Abbott’s call is rather interesting. I guess a debate could only be had after winning office because in August last year, when the (inevitable and accurate) suggestions that a Coalition government would seek to raise the GST were made, Tony Abbott responded by pledging, “let me be as categoric as I can. The GST won’t change, full stop, end of story.”

That is an abuse of privilege in itself (and a complete fraud upon the taxpayers who subsidise them firstly and now will pay them to continue their destruction).
They must be all laughing their heads off in their boardrooms across the country.

Nasty little man … wouldn’t trust him as far as I could kick him … let alone give him the power to distort justice, laws and decency … bigot!
Oh, the next election is going to be a beauty! No wonder my local Fed has his face all over the street (that’s where it belongs) … warming up early for the election …
They must be all laughing their heads off in their boardrooms across the country.
Yes, KL, the whole schmozzle, is becoming just sickening … and very damaging to Australia … we
must beare the laughing stock of the world …Everything clive does is a conflict of interest ao
But, he’s miner, that’s different to an athlete 😉
The old cat strangler doesn’t think the really interesting parts of the emails should have been published.
I feel dirty when I agree with ol’ utegate
”””””’Senator Peris told parliament she was contacted in
October 2012 by an #aggrieved party who told her he had in his possession a folder of information relating to Boldon’s 2010 visit to Australia.
In March this year, the party’s representative sent her an email and said “unless his wishes were granted she would take such action”.
Further contact was made earlier this month. Senator Peris said the aggrieved party had turned to the media after legal options were exhausted.

””””””””””””””’
So folks, any idea on who the aggrieved party is.?
all the way to the bank armchair, all the way to the bank (as usual)

The Monte Carlos’?

Quite funny
I’m a little surprised that TB has such a low opinion of company boards. He must have specialised in working with unethical ones.
Just as I thought…………………she’s full of crap

Oooops AO beat me to it
LOL! Yeah … like he didn’t …:roll:

Don’t know where that comes from … but I know that they are not all squeaky clean … nor are all senior managers or companies or unions … and that is based on experience, yes …
Like the state manager who dumped asbestos sheeting in the bay … after I advised him it was illegal …
Ya get to see and do a lot of “stuff” when you start work at 14 1/2 … that extra ten years makes a big difference … 😉
Prime Minister Tony Abbott declined to back Mr Turnbull’s comments, saying he was reluctant to pontificate on media standards… rolfl
Because he has no measurable standards whatsoever
Hmmm. This guy seems to be the go-to guy for certain Labor-left types when it comes to leaked/hacked emails. Will they be as enthusiastic in linking to this article of his?
Oops. I see they’re already on to it upthread. 😳
Black money from whites, senator is multikultural greedy clown ,doing not only wrongdoing as her attitude to Australia , to aussie children , how much could have been done for kids with those money she pinched with no shame,more wrongdoing with cover it by lies…
Is and was Australian Athletic supplier of big money to members of the AA bordelo for foreign prostitutes ?
Outstanding points Pavel.
Pavel … JFC LOL!
ToM, ToM ….
I AGREE! with New Matilda on this point
It appears to be lost on the many people who have rushed to condemn New Matilda for weighing in on this issue that the family members attacked under the cover of parliamentary privilege are also entitled to a voice. How can people on the one hand condemn News Corporation for attacking Senator Peris with sensationalised claims, while at the same time ignore Senator Peris’ sensational parliamentary attack on others without providing supporting evidence?
Equally, the same people who argue that Senator Peris’ private family life should not have been dragged into the public domain this way, must surely also accept that Senator Peris opened that gate further by using her parliamentary privilege to slander family members with accusations they attempted to extort money from her.

No matter the hurt caused by the splashing of such private emails across papers, her attack, if it was to come, should have been either in a court of law, or a public domain. It isn’t called cowards castle for nothing. Perhaps there was (warranted) reason for venting, but then that is all it is, venting.
However, I still cannot see the public interest, which the article declares is there. Given that it was her job to use her connections to get people just like Ato here, which she did, and there has been no indication from anywhere that she did anything wrong or outside her remit (even after an investigation and now exposure of very private emails). There have been claims about it (with plenty of attached inuendo), but the public interest just does not seem to exist. Interesting that there has been no follow up whatsoever to try and defend this public interest yet either. Like all smears, the caravan has moved on (thanks largely to Nova’s reply) and it is now about her allegations.
It’s what smears do best. The original ‘reason’ is lost, ignored, if it was ever there to begin with.
I still do not see it was there to begin with. Happy to be convinced otherwise though.
Heavens someone just reminded me about this post 😳
sreb, you got sick boy!
I’s watchin’ Da Strain .. da’s fkn frightnin’ fo dis homeboy!
Do not criticise Nova Peris unless you’re an aboriginal woman. AFL jobs are given out according to merit, not race. Except those relating to diversity.
