Rees ignored Orkopoulos to protect career: Former Labor MP

Sunday, 21 September 2008

Its not just turning a blind eye, there are those in the ALP who covered up, in fact a staff member was sacked because she refused to cover up, she in fact went along with the investigation and got sacked for it, no compensation nothing. This by the lying ALP bastards who cried foul over John Howard’s IR laws. Shameful lies from the ALP. NSW and Australia have been conned with ALP BS when are you all going to wake up? He is a pedophile on drugs and aiding in young boys taking drugs.

Double standards. A Governor General was hounded out of his position because he allegedly failed to take action against alleged sex offences that would have come under his administration in the Church. In the case of Rees we have a man who apparently had suspicions about a (now) convicted pedophile and he becomes Premier of a State, The silence from the critics of the ex Governor is deafening.

Steady on there Bart, you'll throw a coronary. Are you trying to imply that the entrie membership of a political party should be tarred with the criminal actions of one of the membership? I think it would be unfair to say that every Lib member is a chairsniffing (Buswell),violent assailant (Tuckey), distributor of dodgy leaflets (Kelly) etc. It even looks like the Libs have had a paed in their ranks too.

This is a problem for the ALP. It wasn't reformed by the inquiry held in the late 90's by Hawke and Keating, and now it must sink into its mess. The problem is that Unions are not throwing up talent. They are throwing up compromised people. Rees has become Premier through turning a blind eye, as Rudd became PM by forgetting through drunkenness. It must be hard for ALP supporters, but I think they can turn a blind eye to this as well.

This is only part of the sh*t hitting the fan - there are many more that knew about this but are too gutless to come forward and set the record straight-saving their own hides at the expense of others-Gillian Sneddon was victimised, lost her position, her reputation, her health and is financially disabled - that's the price she paid for uncovering the dirty deeds of Okropolous-something that govt dept bureaucrats lack is backbone and are known for pointing fingers and scapegoating innocent employees while they continue ripping off the public purse and not being accountable to the community-loyal to the party no matter at what cost and whose lives they destroy climbing their way up the ladder filling their own pockets on the misfortune of others and even get promoted in the meantime! Rees you coward! Sounds pretty fair doesn't it? So when does Gillian get her justice? Now lets all see what moral standards the lefties out there think about the way Gillian Sneddon was treated - yeah right

I agree - the former Governor General Holligsworth was treated so unfairly compared to this. ALP=CORRUPTION. I think Rees knew about all the corruption and secrets- but was dishonest and turned a blind eye for the sake of his political career. He had no guts to blow the whistle and let the children suffer. In my opinion this disqualifies him from running the state. Ex MP Franca Arena warned us about the peodophiles in high places and the people who lie for them and cover them up.

I wonder what Paul O'Grady's motives are? He must be bitter about something to cause him to defame the Premier. The fact that O'Grady's name means nothing may be a clue.

And the latest ...... the media go and interview Okropoulos at Lithgow Gaol to get his version about Ree's - how laughable is that!

Hope you drew their attention to those using my name to post with while you were at it Darren....adults who have never grown up resort to such pathetic behaviour when they lack a good command of the english language, have no self control, and quite possibly still throw tantrums judging the content of their comments. Using other people's names to post inane, illiterate, ill informed garbage, only serves to prove they have no knowledge of intelligent adult debate with those of differing views.

i have also told them of others darren. the other day someone posted a message using my name calling patricia names. its because the names can be changed at whim. with every post you can have a new name. until its made compulsory for everyone who posts here to be a member then this will continue to happen. you can also change your name in your profile whenever you like. the person doing it obviously has alot of time on their hands

Nathan Rees according to Hansard resigned on Friday 4 August 2006. Milton Orkopoulos walked into the Swansea Electorate Office on Monday 7 August 2006, holding an envelope that he claimed had been put under the door. I saw him walk into the office, it had not been put under the door that day! The envelope contained a Stat Dec calling Milton a paedophile. The Stat Dec was dated about 10 years ago....therefore anyone in Parliament could of known about them. Minister Scully did.

Further....Minister Scully knew because Milton asked me to fax the Stat Dec to him, and it was clear by the conversation he was having on the telephone, at my desk, with Scully's staff Member, that they were aware of the allegations already. Milton told me that Vicki Calder handed him the allegations after they had been put under the door. I know that to be a lie. Had I been supported by my colleagues, and parliament, I would of coped a lot better, in stead I was abandoned for telling the truth.

After I faxed him the allegations, surely Police Minister Scully would of immediately informed Premier Iemma. I even believe that Scully told Iemma BEFORE I faxed the allegations, Iemma's response was to immediately remove REES from Milton's Ministerial Office, as he did not want him to be tainted, remember he was going to be endorsed as a Labor candidate, a seat that he then won. Soon he was elevated to Minister, now Premier. His reward for putting the ALP first, before honesty and ethics!
