CCC adjudges Bowler LBW - a metre outside the off stump and off a No Ball The incompetent Crime and Corruption Commission has magnanimously decided that John Bowler MLA (who was recently re-elected with over 60% of the vote) should not face further disciplinary action for not keeping official records of his contact with lobbyists.
What puerile nonsense!
Did failed Minister Jim McGinty keep official records of every contact he had with Left lobbyists - powerbroker John Halden, ex resources minister Clive Brown, ex Kalgoorlie MP Megan Anwyl, and new deputy ALP Leader Roger Cook - all active lobbyists. Hardly likely!
Why do these clowns expect official records to be kept of every meeting and phone call they have of everyone that approaches them?
If the CCC thinks Bowler has engaged in misconduct, then the CCC should state its case.
The Desert Rat can only congratulate John Bowler and Julian Grill for their work in getting the Windimurra Vanadium Mine reopened after it was bought and shut down by multinational Xstrata, who then sourced vanadium supplies from its cheaper South African mine putting 300 men and women out of work.
That was more productive than 150 Crime and Corruption Commission employees spending $150 million over the last five years pursuing legitimate lobbyists such as Brian Burke and Julian Grill - who solve real problems. The CCC has not ventured near drug dealers or organised crime and the people who destroy our society - that is personally too risky for them and their families, too hard and not as glamourous as phoney political "scalps" for our CCC tarts.
Did CCC chief Mike Silverstone keep official records of every filthy lie he told during the Children Overboard scandal? Now that would be interesting reading.
