QUOTE EXTRACT :  But we are lucky in that about 12 of the 15 top
Jobs in the Liberal Party are held by LLBs. ‘White collar’
crime should now diminish rapidly.


YOU POOR BUGGER, IF YOU BELIEVE LLB'S IN THE PARTY ARE THERE TO FIGHT
WHITE COLLAR CRIME YOU ARE LIVING IN A FOOLS PARADISE.

IN MY EXPERENCE THEY WILL BE THERE TO PROTECT THE CRIME BOSSES WHO NO
DOUBT WEAR "BLUE SUITS".

REMEMBER YOUR OWN MR ELLIOT , ONE TIME PORTRAYED AS THE NEXT LEADER, WHO
BETTER TO LEAD THE COUNTRY THAN SUCH AN ASTUTE BUSINESSMAN.

TWO OF HIS MEN WENT TO JAIL FOR DOING HIS BIDDING AND HE GETS OFF ON A
TECHNICAL POINT AND LIVES A LIFE OF LUXURY AS MR SQUEAKY CLEAN.

COME ON.

I HAVE THE UTMOST SYMPATHY FOR YOU AND YOUR MATES, BUT ALL I CAN SAY IS
WELCOME TO THE PEASANT CLASS, WHOSE SOLE PURPOSE IN LIFE IF YOU WERE TO
READ HISTORY IS TO WORK HARD GET AS MUCH ASSETS TOGETHER AS YOU CAN BY
WORKING DAY AND NIGHT AND WHEN YOU ARE READY TO BE PICKED AND PLUCKED
THE Y WILL MOVE AND WHEN YOU COMPLAIN YOUR LLB CLASS WILL MOVE TO
PROTECT THEM AND ALL YOU WILL BE LEFT WITH IS A  MENTALLY RAPED MIND.

YOU WILL BE LIKE ME ,HAVING YEARS OF NIGHTMARES AND COLD SWEATS. WE WERE
RAISED TO BELIEVE IN THE "RULE OF LAW" AND WE BELIEVED THAT IF YOU BROKE
THE LAW YOU WOULD BE PUNISHED AND SO WOULD EVERYONE ELSE.

ITS A BIT OF A RUDE AWAKENING ISN'T IT MATE TO COME TO THE REALIZATION
THAT IT LOOKS LIKE THERE IS A LAW FOR THEM AND A LAW FOR US,
UNBELIEVABLE AH?

WELL HOPEFULLY FOR YOUR SAKE AND YOUR FAMILY'S SAKE THIS REALIZATION
DOESN'T BEND YOUR BRAIN TO THE POINT THAT YOU RESORT TO BLOWING IT OUT.

HAVE A LOOK AT THE WORK PLACE HEALTH AND SAFETY ACT. NO ONE IN A
WORKPLACE CAN DO AN ACT OR MAKE A DECISION THAT CAUSES ANY PERSON HARM
EITHER PHYSICAL OR MENTAL BY THEIR DECISIONS.

HAVE A READ, THIS MAY GIVE YOU AN INSIGHT INTO THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS
ACT AND HOW ANY PERSON WHO MAKES A DECISION PREJUDICIAL TO ANOTHER
PERSON OR GROUP OF PERSONS CAN BE HELD LIABLE FOR THE REST OF THEIR
LIVES.

ONE ONLY HAS TO WORK IN A "PLACE" TO TRIGGER THEIR LIABILITY. YOU REALLY
DON'T HAVE TO BUILD ANYTHING, ITS THE ACT OF MAKING A DECISION !!!!!!!!

NEXT HURDLE, TRY AND GET YOUR BELOVED LLB LIBERAL CLASS TO ENFORCE  THIS
ONE AGAINST THEIR "MATES"

COME BACK TO ME ANY TIME, IF YOU WANT TO TALK 07 4032 1272
