Will the "Dirt Sheets" Linen be Laundered?

And Pigs Might Fly

The Desert Rat was amused when he read in The West Australian that Public Sector Standards Commissioner Dr Ruth Shean had written to the heads of McGinty’s Attorney General Department and Carpenter’s Premiers Department asking them to investigate the “Dirt Sheets” compiled by the State biggest health union the Socialist Left aligned LHMU the major support base of Jim McGinty. The LHMU is run by Socialist Left Secretary and McGinty backer Dave Kelly who was aware of the Dirt Sheets.

Dr Shean sent copies of the “Dirt Sheets” to the Corruption and Crime Commission (CCC).

If McGinty’s Ministerial office or Attorney General’s Department officers were involved it would be a major scandal and he would be expected to resign.

If the Corruption and Crimeorruption Commission needs to use its telecommunication interception powers then McGinty will have to approve and sign the warrants. He would then be aware of any phone, email or office or home bugs and who was under surveillance.

A Judge should always approve and sign warrants, not the Attorney General especially in this case where McGinty has a personal interest in the investigation.

The Desert Rat thinks this “inquiry” is destined to go nowhere.

What a pity these dirt sheets didn't come out of the CFMEU - then we would see public condemnation and outrage and real action by the CCC and these Departments. Perhaps some public hearing down at the Corruption and Crime Commission?

  1. It makes you wonder who else they have "Dirt Files" on, wasn't there a story some time ago about a West journo receiving an anonymous "Dirt File" on a now former State ALP MP which had material regarding some very personal matters. And funny how it was released when this person was under attack by the likes of those curious creatures at the CCC.
