Very poor day for labor. Keating bagging them saying they aren't commie enough, huge divisions in the cabinet whio know they will voted out with JULIAR at the helm so want to put Rudd back in, but know the huge majority of Australians already hates the party, the taxes, the treachery, the lying, the scum, so Rudd wont help much either. 2 more years? Its a beautiful day. again. Same as the last 300. The longer they are in, the longer they will be out. Perfect, perfect timing.

No wonder News ltd has gone off labor. They have known all along about their treacherous inside deals, the lies & manipulation to/of each other. The pay offs. The bribes. The favours etc etc etc.

It's all happening Reefy, it's all going down.

The 29-year-old male officer was arrested at a police station in central London where he works and three men, aged between 48 and 56, were detained after police swooped on their homes, Scotland Yard confirmed.
The suspects were arrested under Operation Elveden – which runs alongside the Operation Weeting hacking inquiry.
The three other men, a 48-year-old from Essex, a 56-year-old from Essex, and a 48-year-old from north London, were all arrested at their homes.
They are being questioned at police stations in London and Essex on suspicion of corruption, aiding and abetting misconduct in a public office and conspiracy in relation to the offences

Whats that mob in Yankland that has rules about corporation being deregistered if they are found to partake in illegal practices in other countries.

Is it the FCPA investigations and charges in the US - Me thinks Old Rupey might be in a bit of deep sh!t in the land of the brave and the land of the free.

Rupe now has a big Target right in the middle of his big forehead. I reckon it might be just about to start hitting the fan very soonish.

'ere Spide some bedtime reading. It brings a smile to my dial.

http://www.fcpaenforcement.com/explained/explained.asp

THE FCPA EXPLAINEDThe U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977 ("FCPA") generally prohibits U.S. companies and citizens, foreign companies listed on a U.S. stock exchange, or any person acting while in the United States, from corruptly paying or offering to pay, directly or indirectly, money or anything of value to a foreign official to obtain or retain business (the “Antibribery Provisions”). The FCPA also requires “issuers” (any company including foreign companies) with securities traded on a U.S. exchange or otherwise required to file periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”)) to keep books and records that accurately reflect business transactions and to maintain effective internal controls (the “Books and Records and Internal Control Provisions).

---------------------------------------------------------------------

There's a lot more in the FCPA explained

Hmmmm I understand that there are a few Senators in the States lining up to have a bash at Rupe and his News International.

They have a few sub branches over here don't they?

hmmmm thats right hey Reefy.

Just wonder who the editor will be and who will be in charge of the organisation after the Leveson Inquiry and the Yanks finish with Noos.

Gee I wonder if our mob will get a turn in the spotlight.

Go Rupes go.

Hey Reefy and Spide, you feel like singing a few bars with me?

Sung to the tune of "Won't you come home Bill Bailey, won't you come Home"

---------------------------

Won't you come home, Rupes Baby, won't you come home
You've moaned the whole night long
You'll do the cookin', honey, You'll pay the rent
You know you've done us wrong

You remember that rainy evenin'
you threw us out....with nothin' but a fine tooth comb
Ya, you know you're to blame, now... ain't it a shame
Rupes baby, won't you please come home,

------------------------------------------------------
as you are humming the tune have a little read of this

-----------------------------------------------------

On Saturday morning, the police arrested four journalists who have worked for Rupert Murdoch. For a while, it looked as though these were yet more arrests of people related to the News of the World but then it became clear that this was something much more significant.

This may be the moment when the scandal that closed the NoW finally started to pose a potential threat to at least one of Murdoch's three other UK newspaper titles: the Sun, the Times and the Sunday Times.
The four men arrested on Saturday are not linked to the NoW. They come from the Sun, from the top of the tree – the current head of news and his crime editor, the former managing editor and deputy editor.

Nothing is certain. No one has been convicted of anything. The four who were arrested on Saturday – like the 25 others before them – have not even been charged with any offence. But behind the scenes, something very significant has changed at News International.

Under enormous legal and political pressure, Murdoch has ordered that the police be given everything they need. Whereas Scotland Yard began their inquiry a year ago with nothing much more than the heap of scruffy paperwork seized from the NoW's private investigator, Glenn Mulcaire, Murdoch's Management and Standards Committee has now handed them what may be the largest cache of evidence ever gathered by a police operation in this country, including the material that led to Saturday's arrests.
The source....

As for Juliar, best she keep a look over that shoulder

It's a room for independent think tankers to discuss things other than a boring offseason.

Joycey sorted out Qantas. He got a pay rise. Stock value will increase. Qantas will be able to compete.
Everything passes the common sense test.
Rupert is still worth a fortune. New paper strarting up. Confidence returning to his empire & the 4 people Quigs is mentioning were actually handed over to the Authorities by News Corp.
Agaibn, the common sense test is passed.
