FYI
Ralph Blewitt has made his defence clear. There was no fraud on Thiess, rather Gillard, Wilson, Jukes and Trio conspired to pay/receive secret commissions. I'm sure there's a range of evidentiary material that may assist Mr Blewitt in that defence.
Gillard and Wilson tried to get Blewitt to carry the can - alone - for the AWU Scandal.
In doing that, they've potentially equipped him with the evidence to sink them.
In November 2005 High Court Justice Michael Kirby wrote this in the Full Bench judgement in Mallard v The Queen:
The role of the prosecutor is as:
"the representative not of an ordinary party to a controversy, but of a sovereignty whose obligation to govern impartially is as compelling as its obligation to govern at all; and whose interest, therefore, in a criminal prosecution is not that it shall win a case, but that justice shall be done."

............"the fruits of the investigation are not the property of the Crown for use in securing a conviction but the property of the public to be used to ensure that justice is done"
Apt.
The investigation into The AWU Scandal isn't over yet.
The prosecutions have barely started.
Every touch leaves its trace.

I wish Mr Blewitt the best of luck. I suspect he'll need it.
