Former boyfriend defends Prime Minister.
'She did nothing wrong' ... Julia Gillard's former
boyfriend has come to her defence
Abbott & Bishop must be running for the poo bucket again ,(Bishop)what do we do now .quick quick Tony dig up more muck ,it doesn't matter if it's true or not ,what are we going to do in question time now ,we have no policies ,no plan for Australia's future ,we just want to run the place down so we can take it over.
Julia Gillard's former boyfriend and one time Australian Workers Union boss Bruce Wilson has broken his silence on the 17-year-old union slush fund saga declaring the Prime Minister has "absolutely nothing to answer for" and "did no wrong".
"Let me make this absolutely clear; apart from the initial legal advice Julia Gillard provided on the AWU Workplace Reform Association fund, she had nothing to do with any of it," he told Fairfax Media.
"Julia Gillard had absolutely no knowledge of anything that went after and people can search and continue this hunt all they like but they will find nothing. Nothing."
Speaking from his NSW north coast home on Saturday night, Mr Wilson told said his decision to speak out had come in the wake of a constant media pressure.
"Today I was trying to put my 10 month old to sleep and reporters were constantly pressing the bell so I decided I had had a gutful and I spoke out so the media would stop," he said.
Ms Gillard has been under increasing pressure from the Opposition and from media reports to answer fresh claims she was involved with the mortgage on a property partly paid for with stolen union funds.
Another identity involved in the scandal, so called "bagman" Ralph Blewitt, arrived back in Australia after living abroad to give a statement to Victorian police about his knowledge of the affair in exchange for immunity from prosecution.
Opposition deputy leader Julie Bishop, who has led the coalition's attack on Ms Gillard and the affair, said last night Mr Wilson's comments clearing Ms Gillard were "part of his continuing cover-up" and she called on him to give a "frank and full statement" of the 17 year old episode.
As I said reminded me of all the hype and hysteria surrounding the Gordon Grech beat up.
You poor sad Libs ,you thought you could sliver on your bellies into the Lodge by doing nothing else but smear and innuendo.
How about some hard work ,maybe a few questions in parliament from shadow ministers ,no don't be silly what was I thinking.
