Slippergate like Watergate: Albanese
June 16, 2012 - 1:09PM

AAP

Labor frontbencher Anthony Albanese has likened the Peter Slipper affair to America's Watergate scandal and called for a full disclosure of information from all the parties involved.

Mr Slipper, who stood aside as parliamentary Speaker earlier this year, is being sued by staffer James Ashby over allegations of sexual harassment.

The Federal Court heard evidence on Friday that Mr Ashby and another Slipper staffer first sought to undermine their boss by providing a journalist with information about the allegations, which was subsequently widely reported by newspapers.

Julian Burnside QC, lawyer for the commonwealth, also alleged that Mr Ashby provided politically sensitive material to Mr Slipper's political opponents, including Howard-era minister Mal Brough.

Mr Albanese likened the case on Saturday to the Watergate scandal, in which evidence about President Nixon's administration was passed to journalists and subsequently appeared in the Washington Post.

"What occurred during Watergate was that people attempted to obtain information in a way that wasn't legal and wasn't appropriate," he told reporters in Sydney.

"It is also the case that it took a while for the facts to come out."

Will this be the Rabbotts last stand.

Like sands through the hour glass...

Good to see Murdochs rags are reporting it as a very serious allegations (page 30 in yesterdays rag apparently)

And the fibs are now calling for everyone to settle down and let the court case run its course. All the presumption of innocents. Funny how things change when it involves them.

Did you know that the murdoch reporter involved was the one that scooped the Goodwin Crech fake email utegate affair.

Gotta love Murdoch and the Tories.

I am going to enjoy this. Even the Pom Parliamentary are following this one. Onya Murdoch and No No.

I'm backing Pyne, Brandis to go down too. Brough is a shot duck now. And as for Ashby ... well, well well, will he start squealling like a stuck pig. A bit similiar to what Tony NONO's most heroic woman in the history of whistleblowers is doing right now in the other court.

She'll do time that one.

Just reminding all you Fibbers there that the Leader of the Opposition got up on the floor of Parliament as he looked at the Prime Minister and then to Mr Thomson MP and said in a loud clear tone of voice....

Well, look, I think that Kathy Jackson has been a very credible whistleblower here...

I think that what she has done has been heroic...

I think that what she’s said today needs to be taken very, very seriously...

if Kathy Jackson thinks that’s the best way forward, I think that is a view that we have to respect.



Crikey how could I of been so blind as to not see what Mr Abbott and the Media have been telling me all along.

Blind, blind, blind. Will you all forgive me.

Wow spide.. it's in the telecrap and the SMH so it must be right.

How are the Murdoch rags reporting about their super scoop reporter being dragged before the court and to produce all records. Think it was reported on page 34 in murdoch rags and 24 in the SMH.

Thats the same bloke that scooped the Goodwin Grech disclosure. You know the fake emails. He has some good form our Stevie Lewis.

So what do you reckon.

How long will Tony's heroic whistle blower go to gaol for? You did read my link I hope.

Who, and how many do you reckon Mr Slipper and Mr Thomson are going to sue?

I reckon that .... well they wont get sued but they are in deep sh!t are, apart from Ashby, the other staffer O'kane (whatever) Lewis the reporter, Brough the slime, and lets throw afew other names in the mix.

Start with Hockey, Pyne, Brandis, hmmmmmm maybe NoNo.

If i was a Tory I wouldn't be worrying too munch about what is going on at the G20, I'd be more concerned about what is happening in two court cases now before the Federal Court.

I know I am loving it. Pssssts all it is going to need to put the icing on the cake will be if someone turns turtle and starts to squeal.

I can't wait for the release of all the emails, text and phonecalls.

Don't worry, I'll keep you posted as soon as I hear something.

We should really discuss it in here because you wont read it in the papers

Spide and Reefy,

I got this snippet through dispatches about the G20 reporting.

You know how our Rags are up in arms about the audacity of the PM Gillard to "lecture" the Europeans.

Well, just for your information as the SMH and the telecrap wont report it buttttt... – according to the BBC – many non-European members of the G20 in attendance in Mexico – eg the US and Canada among others – stressed the need for the Europeans to get their house in order.

Apparently the world respected BBC reporting did not mention once that the Australian PM "lectured" the Euros.

But we all know about fair and balanced reporting.

METHINKS ITS NOW ABUNDANTLY CLEAR THAT THERE APPEARS TO BE A LITTLE BIT OF LICENCE IN THE REPORTING OF THIS MATTER.

HaHaHaHaaaa Pretty embarrassing for our local rags... narhhh not really, its their usual effort.

Do I need to produce the documents Spide or do we all now agree that the answer was in question to a matter put by a Canadian Reporter and the reply was focussed at the North American continent.

Somehow and I just dont know why our local rags construde the Presso to directly involve Prime Minister Gillard. I remember her once saying "Just don't print crap"

There is a stinking pile of it in those two articles. BUSTED.

__________________________________________________________-

Now how about this breaking news. Have you heard about this one yet?

Looks very munch like Ms Karen Doane is not going to go down with the ship........



Slipper adviser to spill.

Is former Peter Slipper adviser Karen Doane going to spill her guts about the Peter Slipper affair to save herself? We hear she told friends on the weekend that she is not going down with James Ashby, whose witness statement about harassment by her old boss was read out in the federal court this week.

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

I'm getting the count cards ready to see how many scalps are hoisted up the pole.

:shock:

have you descended this far into a conspiracy theorist?

Interesting quote ....

Yesterday’s reportage has well and truly removed any doubt of what the msm have been deliberately doing.

Compare and contrast the reportage of Craig Thomson and Slipper, to the non reportage now of the question mark over the coalition’s involvement in the Slipper set up and Kathy Jackson’s behaviour in court, and information to hand that appears to show fraud on her part.

I have never in all these years, seen such a deliberate attempt by the msm to slant the reportage. It has been nothing short of disgraceful.

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

Ohhhh well.

You are forgetting something Quigs. Even if it was a coalition set up, the texts & phone calls were made by yet ANOTHER homo in office & they were disgusting. Slipper is a creep & a slime. Besides yourself, I dont know another Australian who is nto creeped out by him. IF it was a coalition setup, then he deserves it, for being a traitor, an abuser of office, a slime, a conman & commie sympathiser. If it was a coalition set up, Australia says "job well done"

ummmm Reefy my ultra right wing Tory comrade.

Is this the same Mr Slipper, that was a member of your party and was relected/renominated for his seat for what was it .... 5 consecutive elections.

Or was it another Mr Slipper.???

"What was that you say again Quigs?" I hear you ask.

"relected/renominated for his seat for what was it .... 5 consecutive elections"

Pssssts while we are at it. Just points over to Mr Pyne and Mr Brandis, "You better keep an eye on those two too. Me .... I think there might be some more too.

My opinion on Mr Slipper in the Speakers chair, and it is shared by all media reporting, even in the right wing rags. Mr Slipper has been doing a wonderful job as the Speaker of the House. He should be congratulated on his efforts.

And you know what Reefman. He will be back in the Speakers chair bythe end of August, if not sooner.

By the way how is Tones most Heroic whistleblower in the worlds' case going right now.

Also I heard a good one last night. Rumblings inside the Fibs tent about Tones leadershit.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm

yeah thats him. The homo creep. Lets hope the coalition does a much better job in selection for the future. Like I said, the guy is a married homo. Very similar to the current PM. A big fraud. Anybody who thinks he has ever done a wonderful job of anything other than looking after himself, is the epitomy of Naive. He is a conman. You have been conned. But it is for your personal gain I guess, so its overlooked.

He should be congratulated on his efforts.
ohh FFS Quigs. The cutie is a slimy phucken homo abusing his power!!!
And you know what Reefman. He will be back in the Speakers chair bythe end of August, if not sooner.
When one of your predictions comes through, we'll let you know. Until then, static.

You read way too much bullshyte on conspiracy theorist pages.

You know you can put a pill in your petrol tank now that can get you 500km more per tank?

Arhhhh the man that has all the facts. I love it.

Was it Mr Slipper, or Mr Thomson, or mr Abbott or someone else in here that said that the Reactors in Japan will all be fired up and running smoothly within a week of the Tsunami.

Now that was a prediction of all predictions. Ummmmmmmm who was that again.

Hey is Pyne married?

Gee Reefy you better take all those rocks out of your pockets. You might slip over and smash some of your glass walls in your house. And for farkkkks sake while you are in there, don't start throwing them.

That pill wasn't it Dick Smiff or was it that car racer bloke.
