So Skully, Hass, Big Dog, and other brownies?

Given the material that has come to light on Oz security forces spying on the E Timorese during negotiiations for the economic benefit of Woodside and Downer who was the 'responsible Minister' at the time and who now is still on a fat retainer ....do you think this was appropriate use of spies ?...do you think there shd be a commission of inquiry into these events..

Brownies??

I glazed over after the first line, h.

Dear valued customer, I regret to advise that I cannot help you with your enquiry.

Cmon S...Downer directed spying when Minister on the E timmies ....the e-timmies were not a threat to Oz security (the role of the spooks is not about secring private benefit for companies or Ministers)...the Jabba Downer is on a monstro thanks very much for services rendered retainer from Woodside..

this is a fundamental misuse of taxpayer resources to secure private benefit for a company as well as an appaling breach of moral responsibilitity

huh?...so you think Downer has done nothing wrong?...so you believe ASIO et al can be used for private benefit?

is your SMSF a significant investor shareholder in Woodside or the retailers of fishnet stockings?

so you do have Woodside interests?...expect you would therefore be opposed to an Inquiry

astonished that you do not see a problem with using our spies to support private interests!

and here is an interesting article on aspects of the case.

Will Bill Shorten sue Larry Pickering?

That was a more interesting post than any of h's in this thread.

Not sure why he hasn't. Brutal allegations in the public domain.

Pickering has no money

Suing him gives more publicity to the allegations

Pickering isnt a credible news service so no one important cares what he says

Like horrie, then.

phurt...you have always been welcome in the non event categories

What were we talking about, again?
