This whole thing is starting to smell like the Kemlani Affair which brought down the Whitlam Government.

Oh yes.  And when his widow died the government took her inherited estate becasue it was the proceeds of crime.

Askin, Norm Allen (the Police Commissioner) what a sleezy bunch they were.

Sinodinos thread - how predictable that the CFMEU, Thompson and now even Gough Whitlam are mentioned???????? Are they all related to arfur or  members of the Libs?

Back to arfur

Asked why he didn't reveal he had "skin in the game" when he was lobbying Premier Barry O'Farrell and then finance minister Greg Pearce over the partnership, Senator Sinodinos said: "I think they would have understood officers of the company would have benefited."

In testimony frequently punctuated by “I don't recall”, Senator Sinodinos also claimed to have no knowledge that for three years his friend and Liberal fundraiser Paul Nicolaou was on a monthly retainer of $5000 to lobby on behalf of AWH.

The former Liberal Party president agreed he had a "great deal of contact" with Mr Nicolaou, now the NSW chief executive of the Australian Hotels Association, but "to the best of [his] recollection" the subject of his retainer was never discussed.

The evidence presented to the inquiry suggests that three Liberal-aligned lobbying companies were raking in $17,000 a month from AWH while Senator Sinodinos was on the board.

This was at the same time as the company was struggling to meet its statutory obligations to pay tax and superannuation.
