Dr. Sir John Howard, AC, WSCMoF - 19 Jun 2009 09:27 GMT

A Treasury official says the prime minister's office contacted him regarding an
Ipswich car dealer who'd previously given Kevin Rudd a ute and was seeking
federal government assistance.

The official in charge of the OzCar scheme, Godwin Grech, has told a Senate
inquiry he realised the "sensitivity and import" of his statement.

"My understanding (was) the initial contact that I had with respect to John
Grant was from the prime minister's office," Mr Grech told the inquiry.

Treasury officials had previously said they'd been unable to locate
representations from Prime Minister Kevin Rudd's office to Treasury regarding Mr
Grant, who is a neighbour of Mr Rudd's.

Labor senators and fellow Treasury official David Martine spent more than 10
minutes trying to stop Mr Grech answering a question about whether Mr Grech had
seen a document from Mr Rudd's office regarding Mr Grant.

Liberal senator Eric Abetz, who asked the question, said he accepted Treasury
hadn't been able to find such a document, but that didn't mean one hadn't
existed in the past.

When Mr Grech finally answered the question he was clearly emotional.

He prefaced his reply by saying no public servant should be placed in the
position in which he found himself.

Mr Rudd has previously said neither he, nor his office, made representations on
Mr Grant's behalf.

"Neither I, nor my office, have ever made any representations on his behalf,"
the prime minister told parliament earlier this month.

Senator Abetz told the inquiry a journalist had suggested to him that there'd
been a communication from Mr Rudd's office to Mr Grech, which read as follows:

"The prime minister has asked if the car dealer financing vehicle is available
to assist a Queensland dealership, John Grant Motors, who seems to have trouble
getting finance.

"If you could follow up on this ASAP that would be very useful."

Opposition Leader Malcolm Turnbull was accused of bullying one of Mr Rudd's
senior advisers earlier this week over the existence of the document.

The government released a file note from economic adviser Andrew Charlton on
Friday, in which he alleged Mr Turnbull threatened him on Wednesday.

The opposition believes Mr Charlton wrote the document to Mr Grech.

"This whole OzCar issue will be very damaging for you," Mr Turnbull reportedly
told Mr Charlton.

"Let me give you some friendly advice. You should not lie to protect your boss.
You know and I know there is documentary evidence that you have lied."

Pssssst. Careful, your "born to rule" attitude is showing!
BTW what would you now about real working families?
Are you still sooooo bloody upset about the rodent not winning the
last election, that you can't keep down any longer your blind rage and
hatred towards anything that is not appropriately upper class?
Who would say that right-extremist whingers in cyberspace have ever
truly contemplated a democracy that might not work out in their
favour?

Why would a merchant banker, a super rich millionaire from Bondi be
obsessed about becoming a PM .....
Because he is so obsessed with power that he would do anything,
anything including bribing, bullying and  black-mailing not already
lie-beral aligned public servants as well utilising fake electronic
documents, and utilising lie-beral connections to media moguls in
order to bring down popularly elected governments.

A good all old right wing tactic well known since the Whitlam years.

So there you go.....

# A court of law goes mainly by written evidence, as verbal testimony tends
to be one version against another - though, if you're caught lying your
whole case can collapse in a heap.
  Hence, unless an email or similar can be unearthed, then all is
supposition or allegation, and nothing can be proved.
  Cynics might claim that an Opposition likes a witchhunt, as it distracts
from their own lack of policy.  Better to attack probity, and get rid of
Ministers one by one, as in Britain, and now here.
  Someone may have Lied to Parliament!  Horrors! As in core and non-core
promises, and never, ever, eh?  But that is lying to the electorate?
  Why are pollies ranked only above used-car salesmen in the probity
stakes?
   What was so shocking about Pauline Hanson?  Racism?  Or saying what she
meant, and meaning what she said?  An honest politician?
   Has a politician been raiding the Treasury and salting funds away
overseas?  Or a somewhat lesser crime, unproven?
   A sense of proportion may be needed.

 There once was an Honest MP,
 Promised Bliss, unto You and to Me.
 But, once Elected,
 Reneged on Expected;
 Citing "Prevailing Reality".
======================
 Scale of Veracity:
================
(1) Completely Honest ("I cannot tell a lie.")
(2) White Lie (done with best of intentions).
(3) Half-Truth (bending things a bit)
(4) Habitual Liar (not believed when telling truth)
(5) Totally Dishonest (Cretan, of Philosophy fame)

Irish Ballad
==========
(Tom Lehrer)
======================
About a maid I'll sing a song,
Sing rickety-tickety-tin,
About a maid I'll sing a song
Who didn't have her family long.
Not only did she do them wrong,
She did evryone of them in, them in,
She did evryone of them in.

One morning in a fit of pique,
Sing rickety-tickety-tin,
One morning in a fit of pique,
She drowned her father in the creek.
The water tasted bad for a week,
And we had to make do with gin, with gin,
We had to make do with gin.

Her mother she could never stand,
Sing rickety-tickety-tin,
Her mother she cold never stand,
And so a cyanide soup she planned.
The mother died with a spoon in her hand,
And her face in a hideous grin, a grin,
Her face in a hideous grin.

She set her sister's hair on fire,
Sing rickety-tickety-tin,
She set her sisters hair on fire,
And as the smoke and flame rose higher,
Danced around the funeral pyre,
Playin' a violin, -olin,
Playin' a violin.

She weighted her brother down with stones,
Rickety-tickety-tin,
She weighted her brother down with stones,
And sent him off to Davy Jones.
All they ever found were some bones,
And occasional pieces of skin, of skin,
Occasional pieces of skin.

One day when she had nothing to do,
Sing rickety-tickety-tin,
One day when she had nothing to do,
She cut her baby brother in two,
And served him up as an Irish stew,
And invited the neighbors in, -bors in,
Invited the neighbors in.

And when at last the police came by,
Sing rickety-tickety-tin,
And when at last the police came by,
Her little pranks she did not deny,
To do so she would have had to lie,
And lying, she knew, was a sin, a sin,
Lying, she knew, was a sin.

My tragic tale, I won't prolong,
Rickety-tickety-tin,
My tragic tale I wont prolong,
And if you do not enjoy the song,
You've yourselves to blame if it's too long,
You should never have let me begin, begin,
You should never have let me begin.
