ABSOLUTELY spot on.

Karl Bitar was not a politician. It makes Benbradley's argument so silly and way out.

Comparing Karl Bitar as a non politician to Peter Reith as a Minister with cabinet secrets.

Peter Reith's Job With Tenix
It was reported earlier this month that the former Minister for Defence, Peter Reith, who retired from politics at the last election, has taken a position as a paid consultant on "government relations" with The Tenix Group. Reith reportedly signed on with Tenix the day after after ceasing to be a minister in November 2001.

Tenix Group describes itself as Australia?s largest defence and technology contractor and the only Australian-owned major defence prime contractor."

In employing Reith as a consultant, the company hopes to take advantage of Reith's inside knowledge as a government minister for the past 6 years and Defence Minister for the last year. Similarly, Reith's contacts with the company could be said to derive directly from his work as the minister.
