Menu (with ref to Gillard & Rudd) - Restaurant Owner admits it was his idea

[cherry*135]

Just heard this on TV. Owner said he thought it was a light hearted idea. I didn't catch it all but I think he said it wasn't handed out at the dinner.

crikey - It was that restaurant named in the link on a previous thread in this topic.

that is a better pic - but I am sure I saw one somewhere with the title of the function as well - the whole menu card... but thank you for trying to help.

I did too sheep but I would say that the photo has been edited and replaced with another photo not showing all the info.  I definitely saw it but even if you search google images it doesn't exist anymore.

Most of the photos also omit the Liberal amount of wine supplied.

I too wonder how much the restaurant owner was promised.

Oh good - I thought I was going crazy there for a while - I am glad you saw it too.

I did the google image search too and couldn't find it, but I noticed that a fair few of the newspaper articles had also been removed.

I'm not convinced though that the owner would have taken a pay off - for starters, would the politicians be that stupid, because they know that eventually it would come out and if it ever got discovered it would be mayhem - plus - this guy also has other businesses in the same name - including an adjacent one to the restaurant that sells $5000 suits - so I can't see how any amount of money would be worth the damage that would have been done to his business reputation.

It just seems to me that he would have too much to lose financially, as well as pride and reputation, to cop the blame if he were innocent.

I am ROFL at that comment....... you aren't serious?

and the restaurant owner.....his pride and reputation are not worth much atm, given his odd sense of humour.

I wonder would he be so blase if it was his wife/mother/sister/daughter who was the subject of such a menu?

[**meep**]

nah.....no conspiracy theories here.  i'm with Crikey on this one.

i saw another interview with the  owner and his son, they mentioned they were receiving death threats.

you don't think Mal Brough words earlier in the day contradict the contents of the email recieved after the restaurant owner (who mal had being apologetic earlier in the day) saw the story on the evening news ?

If Mal Brough knew he was apologetic earlier in the day and it was as the email suggests...why didn't he say so then ?

and did the email say something like "as you know no one saw the menu" ??????????

Mal Brough didn't seem to know that earlier...when he apologised

Did Mal Brough lie on camera about Ashby ?
