Radio host Ben Fordham's claims Ms Gillard was being investigated by police

azureline** — Tue, 23 Apr 2013 10:18:11 GMT

2GB host Ben Fordham told his listeners today he wanted to correct comments made by Ms Gillard during an interview in March that canvassed the AWU case.

Fordham said the police were still taking statements and had asked him to make a formal statement relating to the March 7 interview.

Courier mail today.

:^O really? would police really do that?

was I supposed to provide links? I didn't know there was a rule, sorry.

I think Ben Fordham is a wanna be and would say anything for ratings........however, I would think he knows less about it than he pretends.

so you think he is a goose, well you are wrong again, I know him, he is not and is a very nice person. Have another read of what you wrote, again a disgusting criticism of someone you don't even know. I would hate to think what you would say about people you do know, you are the goose. I would suggest LL you wait and see how this develops, you just might have to eat humble pie although I am sure you will have a pathetic excuse for making this statement.

you know him and i know liars too. so what .

cant find benny's story elsewhere ? it doesn't exist anywhere else , its complete carp.

i think its about time the likes of benny began asking Abbott for some policies to talk about rather than chase fictional garbage like this. fordham should produce some proof or shut it.

For those who think Fordham made this up he's got her on tape denying the police investigation has anything to do with her when the big story is it has everything to do with her.

I listened to the interview of her & she started to threaten & intimidate Fordham even before he could get one sentence out.

The story here is the PM of this country is under investigation for a criminal case. This has not gone away no matter how much the PM wishes it would.

Fordham is an interviewer isn't he? He should market himself as clairvoyant..... time will tell if he is correct...... I doubt he is though.

'at the request of police, i'm not going to go into any detail ' said fordham. which translated means ''im not going to actually broadcast the bs information i made up for attention because i will get sued and sacked most likely for lying''

So now you are able to put words in peoples mouths, how clever, there is no need to translate what Ben said, he said what he said and not what YOU would like him to have said.

As I said lets wait and see, LL you cannot deny what was said on tape and so many people heard it, it was an interview with JG and she became very defensive when questioned. I believe she does not like to be put in a defensive position by anyone because she is seen to be a fragile, she is not as strong as she would like us to think and she takes it all very personally because she thinks it is more about gender.

Newstart, do you personally know Juliar Gillard ?

Who on these boards does ?

The bloke is a media mouthpiece ... if he told the public something ,we the public can comment ...good,bad or indifferent .

Do you believe that even knowing someone is a guarantee that they don't ever do the wrong thing ? How many people who some truly believe to be good well respected people do the most horrible of things ?

Re: Radio host Ben Fordham's claims Ms Gillard was being investigated by police

izabsmiling — Tue, 23 Apr 2013 22:24:51 GMT

You know him seems to equal him being good.You defend him on that very basis...you knowing him.

yet you don't know Julia Gillard our PM ...and yet you tend to believe that she is bad .

No, did not say I knew JG (I choose my friends and acquaintances carefully)

Did you listen to the interview and hear the veiled threats from her to Ben, I did and it is clearly her voice and very audible.

I never said you could not comment, did I ? No and it is your privilege in our free democratic society to do so as long as it is not offensive or defamatory.

Answer to your question - there are no guarantees and probably quite a few but knowing Ben I believe he is not one of them and you do have to trust your friends otherwise you would never trust anyone.

No, wrong again, I don't know JG so I don't know whether or not she is "bad" as you put it.

She may be a very nice person out of the pubic eye ( I don't know) BUT I have no respect for someone who unashamedly lies, makes false promises to win an election and misleads the public who elected her carry out those promises.

You may say "OH but things change" yes they do but she was adamant when she made those promises and has never admitted she may have made a mistake.

So NSW sign on for Gonski and 2GB choose to stir up dirt rather than talk about it.

This saga is not over for Miss Gillard no matter how many times she tries to shut down any debate.

The police have expanded their investigation into this sordid affair with the ex lover of Miss Gillard & her part in setting up the slush fund.

Yep, News Corp reporting dirt rather than news about Gonski reforms.

They really do hate her, there is no doubt about that.

"There will be no carbon tax under a government I lead"

"I have done nothing wrong"

Glorify a lie, legalize a lie, arm and equip a lie, consecrate a lie with solemn forms and awful penalties, and after all it is nothing but a lie. It rots a land and corrupts a people like any other lie, and by and by the white light of truth shines clear through it, and shows it to be a lie.
