I am coming out loud and proud and
declaring the following:
1. I am an Aussie white bloke of European
descent!
2. I am
heterosexual!
3. Although non religious I tend to
believe in the so-called Christian values/belief!

Shane Dowling – Kangaroo Court of Australia Publications.
Malcolm Turnbull’s dirty laundry of fraud & theft will destroy the Liberal Party if elected leader
by Shane Dowling
People if this publication that I have received from Shane Dowling of
Kangaroo Publications is
only half true how could in all sincerity Malcolm Turnbull have the gall
and afrontory to consider or even contemplating trying to take over from Tony
Abbott if there is a party room spill at the LNP
party meeting tomorrow Monday the 9/2/2015?? with these allegations hanging
over his and the
LNP’s political heads??
? If these allegations are anywhere nearly true it certainly puts a
different light on our baby faced
butter would not melt in his mouth swarve and some would say charismatic
Malcolm Turnbull what do you reckon people??
Anyway if Malcolm Turnbull has a second go at the LNP leadership and get
the PM’s job ? how
long do you think he will last because I gather he is not only not that
well liked in the LNP but not
trusted after his debacle trying to force through as the then opposition
leader a type of
unpopular carbon tax where he through a whammy and resigned his position as
Opposition Leader and lost it to Tony Abbott on a LNP party room vote even
though it was only by one vote he still lost!!
Teflon Bill Shorten Union & Federal Labor Opposition Leader and alleged
rapist
Therefore the Abbott backers wont forgive Turnbull and we will have another
Rudd – Gillard –Rudd political fiasco and if that is the case then in my view
don’t wait for another Federal Election
just hand the Prime Ministers job over to Teflon Bill Shorten our Union
& Federal Labor Opposition Leader and alleged rapist over the next couple of
months and don’t waste scarce tax payers funds by paying for an inevitable
election win for Federal Labor !!!
However people if you are happy for this alleged skullduggery by our
political leaders then good
luck explaining that in regard to the rights and wrongs of politics to your
kids and future generations and don’t whinge when it is obvious they don’t trust
your judgement any more and
turn their backs on you.

MALCOLM TURNBULL’S DIRTY LAUNDRY OF FRAUD & THEFT WILL DESTROY THE LIBERAL PARTY IF ELECTED LEADER
Malcolm Turnbull was
the key decision maker when he gave a dodgy $10 million grant to his friends
just before the 2007 election while he was still the Environment Minister in the
Howard government. This puts Turnbull in the same club as the corrupt Eddie
Obeid, Arthur Sinodinos and others.
Obeid is looking at
jail time after being charged by the police and Sinodinos had to resign yet some
people want to make Turnbull the Prime Minister.
This one point alone makes Mr
Turnbull an easy target and the Labor Party will attack him on it as they have
previously. I wrote about some of Malcolm Turnbull’s dodgy past in 2012 and
covered the $10 million scam. It worth raising again as it has never been
resolved, will be an issue again if Turnbull is elected PM and also given the
current anti-corruption political environment. (Click here to read the 2012 article)
While Turnbull might
be able to palm off some things in his past he
will never be able to justifythe $10 million for his mates and that is
why the Labor Party will go after him hard on the
issue.
The Malcolm Turnbull
scam
Mr Turnbull has
refused to answer numerous questions in relation to the $10 million grant he
gave in 2007 to his friend Matt Handbury when he was the Environment
Minister.
Mr Turnbull’s
electorate fund-raising is done though an organisation he set up in 2007 called
the Wentworth Forum. The SMH reported in 2009 “Regarded as the country’s most sophisticated political
fund-raising machine, the forum offers membership packages that give the most
generous supporters more opportunities to gain access to Mr
Turnbull.”
“It costs $5500 to
be a “member”, $11,000 to be a “sponsor”, $16,500 to be a “patron”, $25,500 to
be a “benefactor” and $55,000 to be a “governor”.”
“A governor can host
boardroom events, and gets two tables at big functions featuring Mr Turnbull,
and attendance at an exclusive dinner for
supporters.”
“An analysis of forum donations,
fund-raising events and memberships between 2007 and last December shows Mr
Turnbull received more than $1.4 million. He personally contributed about
$10,000 in catering for forum events. Most of the money was raised before the
2007 federal election.” (Click here to read more)
Matt Handbury was
one of the donors to Mr Turnbull’s Wentworth Forum.
.
Before the 2007
election and two weeks after the election was called Malcolm Turnbull announced
that the government would spend $11 million ($10 million plus GST) funding a
trial of rainfall technology. The company in question was Australian Rain
Corporation which was then part owned by Matt Handbury.
It says on Mr Turnbull’s Wikipedia
profile “During the 2007 election campaign, Turnbull announced that the
then Government would contribute $10 million to the investigation of an untried
Russian technology that aims to trigger rainfall from the atmosphere, even when
there are no clouds. Literature suggests that the technology is based on bogus
science. The Australian Rain Corporation presented research documents written in Russian, explained
by a Russian researcher who spoke to local experts in
Russian.”
“Although Turnbull claimed that
Australian Rain Corporation is Australian-based, investigations have shown that
it is in fact 75 per cent Swiss-owned. It was also revealed that a prominent
stakeholder in the Australian Rain Corporation, Matt Handbury, is a nephew of
Rupert Murdoch. Turnbull has refused to answer questions regarding Matt
Handbury’s contribution to the Wentworth Forum, the main fundraising
organisation for Turnbull’s 2007 election
campaign.”(Click here to

It was even raised in parliament in
2009 during the infamous Godwin Grech / Utegate
scandal.On the 22nd June 2009 the following
statement by Tony Burke Minister for Sustainability, Environment, Water,
Population shows up on Hansard:
“There is an interesting
organisation involved in what is described as ‘rainfall enhancement
technology’—a company named the Australian Rain Corporation. Apparently they
have decided to corporatise rain! The Australian Rain Corporation sought money
and the National Water Commission commissioned an independent review of the
technology that they were putting forward by a former senior CSIRO officer
and professor of physical sciences and
engineering from the ANU. The National Water Commission insisted that the
Australian Rain Corporation give a presentation of this technology to a panel of
physicists. They then provided it with the research papers and made the
presentation in Russian.”
“The independent review concluded:
‘There is no convincing evidence that the Atlant technology operates as believed
by its proponents.’ But in the end the department recommended that the member
for Wentworth provide them with $2 million for a trial, which was arguably a
generous offering, given what had been said about the technology. What did the
Leader of the Opposition, as a minister, do with a recommendation
to give them $2 million? He wrote to the
Prime Minister seeking a lazy $10 million for the Australian Rain Corporation.
You have to ask: what would be the circumstances of taking a departmental
recommendation for $2 million and turning it into $10 million? Why would the
Leader of the Opposition have done that as a
minister?”
“This is where we
discover that an executive of the Australian Rain Corporation happened to be a
next-door neighbour of the Leader of the Opposition. The same person, the same
neighbour, was a member of his electorate fundraising committee, the Wentworth
Forum, with membership costing a cool $5,000 to get yourself into the room. If
you want to find deals for mates, there are stories of deals for mates and there
are stories that rest very squarely with the Leader of the
Opposition.”
“This is the same person who was
able to run around saying, ‘Well, we’ve got this email. You’d better publish
it,’ and who went to members of staff, intimidated them and said that he had
documentary evidence. All we ask of the Leader of the Opposition is: prove that
you have been telling the truth. We know what will happen. We know we will be
greeted with the same deathly silence that we get now. We know that he is
pretending to write and focus on something else, but we know full well that the
Leader of the Opposition has been caught out and caught out
badly.” (Click here to read more) And on the 23rd June 2009 it was raised again in parliament by
Tony Burke. (Click here to read)
Another
article says: “Rainmaker Ian Searle, the father of cloud seeding in
Australia for the Tasmanian Hydro scheme, has also expressed doubts, as has
Israel’s internationally respected cloud physicist Professor Daniel
Rosenfeld.”
“There is no single scientific paper, only the patent,
and one can patent anything claiming it’s to do anything that he likes, as long
as no one else has made the same claims before,” Professor
Rosenfeld said.
“Mr Searle says all the literature
he has seen on the technology shows it to be a bogus
science.”(Click here to read more)
At one point the government were
talking about having an inquiry into the grant to Australian Rain Corporation
but it never eventuated. As it turned out when the Rudd government came to power
in November 2007 the new Environment Minister Penny Wong cancelled the grant but
$2.97 million had already been paid and there were likely other costs in
terminating the funding agreement. (Click here to read more)
There are a lot of
unanswered questions that Malcolm Turnbull needs to answer about the Australian
Rain Corporation grant. So far he refuses.
The mainstream media
have not been reporting Mr Turnbull’s dirty laundry in recent times but you can
be guaranteed that the Labor Party will raise it if Turnbull wins. Even worse
for the liberal party is that social media will be raising Turnbull’s dirty
laundry day in day out until the next federal election and social media is where
a lot of the damage will be done with voters.
One would have
thought with corruption inquiries around the country and the anti-corruption
mindset of many voters anyone with even a hint of corruption about them would be
ruled out as a candidate for any political party let alone the leader’s
job
