Gillard's Ex Lashes Out At Photographer

icyfroth — Mon, 12 May 2014 06:55:57 GMT

A former union official and one-time boyfriend of Julia Gillard has thrown a punch at a photographer outside the royal commission into union corruption.

Bruce Wilson was spotted on Monday afternoon in a cafe near the royal commission building in Sydney, where his former union colleague Ralph Blewitt is giving evidence about alleged secret payments to a union slush fund.

Mr Wilson struck out at News Corp Australia's Sam Mooy and shouted abuse as the photographer snapped him on the street.

The incident was captured by an AAP photographer.

Mr Wilson is yet to appear before the commission, which opened on Monday.

Mr Blewitt gave evidence on Monday that he went to Ms Gillard's home in 1994.

He told the commission he was carrying $10,000 or $20,000 in cash when he went to the Melbourne home to meet Mr Wilson, his union boss and Ms Gillard's boyfriend at the time.

Mr Blewitt told the commission Ms Gillard - who at the time was a lawyer with the firm Slater & Gordon - was at the front of the house when he arrived.

He said he met Mr Wilson in the kitchen or verandah where there were three other people doing renovation work.

Mr Blewitt said Mr Wilson called one of the workers over and asked Mr Blewitt to pay the man $7,000 from the cash he was carrying.

"I counted off $7,000, gave it to that gentleman. He stuck it in the front pocket of his bib and brace overall and went back outside to join the other two workers," he said.

Mr Blewitt said Ms Gillard was not present when the money was handed over.

The former prime minister as previously has strenuously denied any wrongdoing and is adamant that she alone paid for her house renovations.

What has Gillard's name got to do with the behaviour of an ex boyfriend from long ago?

Doesn't he have a name of his own?

None is responsible for their ex's behaviour. It is ludicrous to connect Gillard with what some ex of hers from the past is doing in this present time.

not just any ex boyfriend - the one she was implicated in setting up a slush from union funds back in the day and allegedly renovated/bought a house with.

there's an inquiry into it in case you didn't know

Nope, just an old boyfriend. The ex is the one in court. The ex is the one accused of a crime.

If Gillard was involved do you seriously not think Abbott would have produced the evidence during the 3 years at the beginning of which he said he would do anything to bring her down.

The headline should have read "Ex union official" or "Bruce Wilson" not "Gillard's ex".

Another example of Gillards appalling taste and low values.

She likes them rough and low class.

she likes them with their ears and hair intact and without the brain damage boxing brings
