abbott's man investigated for corruption!

Abbott's poor judgement showing through once again!

Where theres smoke theres fire....

"Dick Warburton investigated over foreign bribery scandal."

"The senior businessman appointed by Prime Minister Tony Abbott to review Australia's renewable energy target has been the subject of a secret internal investigation into his role as a former director of a firm involved in Australia's worst foreign bribery scandal.
The investigation findings were sent earlier this month to the Reserve Bank board and deal with Dick Warburton and his fellow former Note Printing Australia directors' knowledge and handling of Note Printing Australia's sanctions-busting trip to Iraq in 1998.
On Monday, Mr Abbott personally approved the appointment of Mr Warburton to review the nation's renewable energy target, despite serious questions about the role of Mr Warburton and his fellow former NPA directors in overseeing a company that police allege engaged in repeated foreign bribery.

The federal police have alleged that during the period Mr Warburton was an NPA director, the company repeatedly engaged in foreign bribery across Asia.

The recent inquiry into the former NPA board - which Mr Warburton was a part of between 1998 and 2007 - was conducted by forensic investigators from KPMG. They investigated Mr Warburton and his two fellow NPA directors' handling of NPA's attempt to strike a banknote deal with Saddam Hussein in 1998 in potential breach of UN sanctions.
On Wednesday the Reserve Bank refused to release the confidential KPMG inquiry or answer questions about it. Mr Warburton also declined to say whether he had been interviewed for the KPMG probe, saying that was a matter for the Reserve Bank."
