Tim Owen just admitted giving false evidence to ICAC yesterday. From my understanding your statements at ICAC can not be used as part of a criminal case, but if you perjure yourself that's a whole different matter :munch:

He also fingered Jeff McCloy saying the two had agreed beforehand to lie under oath.

Former RAAF officer and deputy commander of Australian forces in Afghanistan and Iraq Tim Owen turns out to be a corrupt piece of poo poo who lies under oath. What a shock. Makes the outrage about Stephen Conroy daring to question the integrity of our brave men and women in uniform look pretty loving stupid doesn't it.

Wouldn't be too hard, find an edition the same size as battlelines, wrap it in the battlelines dust cover, present to Tones as an adoring fan, preferably as an attractive female for him to stare at creepily while ignoring the fact that the inside of the book he is signing isn't what it says on the cover.

I’d suggest also this: which nation most clearly shows white in conflict with brown, Western civilisation in conflict with the Oriental; capitalism in conflict with the tribal; reason in conflict with the “romantic”, the strong in conflict with the weak? In every fault line, Israel is on the opposite side to a certain kind of tribal Leftist. Israel is once again the canary in the coal mine of civilisation.

He's on a bit of a roll today.

ABC says

quote:

Under cross-examination by Ian Faulkner SC, who was representing Mr McCloy at the ICAC, Mr Owen admitted that he kept the $10,000 Mr McCloy gave him and "rolled it towards" his campaign.

Mr Owen also said that, in recent months, he had several meetings with Mr McCloy, who is now the Lord Mayor of Newcastle.

He said at one of the meetings, two days ago in Mr McCloy's office, the two men agreed they would both falsely tell the inquiry Mr Owen had returned the cash.

So I take it Mr Owen will be charged, seeing as he's not admitting it?

I've heard stories of them not paying minimum wage and people hurting themselves and looking for first aid only to open the first aid box to find it empty.

Seriously this poor girl cut herself deep working at a Grilld, asked the manager for First Aid or to go home, first aid box was empty, manager would not let her go home. She had to work her shift with bloody paper towels on one hand all night.

Yeah, a lot of people in small business/franchise get really put off balance when you ask that. HR teams/etc are used to it, they get it all the time. Pretty poor form from that Grill'd, but I shun those guys already.
