I have simply quoted a story.

Which is exactly how disinformation gets spread. What on earth made you assume that "Andrew Bolt or whoever" would be a reliable source?

that's the whole point, the stories almost always contain factual inaccuracies . yet you parade them here as credible. larry and akerman are no different . perhaps more colourful.. but full of it just like andrew.

Not quite in the same league as Morrison though is it nero?

Did Rudd declare it? Yes.

Was there any conflict of interest at the time? No.

Was Rudd stupid enough to take that trip whilst announcing policies favourable to gift giver? No.

Did Rudd try to hide that trip in any way? No.

The Liberals are getting desperate. 

Thats what I like about you monman12 you are very professional in what you do and well researched

You could give that a go too nero instead of just blindly quoting Akerman, Bolt, Pickering etc.
