Pay Back

I love this bit :

.... not disclosing the payments during his testimony, and called his explanation for not revealing the cash – that he was never asked directly about his business relationship ....

Worldwide and throughout time, on/in how many scenarios could you insert the section between the above ellipses and get a truthful and accurate statement ? What? He forgot the odd quarter million? Of course that wouldn't have been a bribe would it? So wow, that makes for expensive "cups of coffee". I don't see why they're bothering to appeal to his sense of honor. :-)

Cheers, Mike.

( edit ) Our bushfire Royal Commission is gradually creaking to a stop, having missed most of what mattered simply by excluding virtually all personal testimonies and eyewitness reports. A real fee-fest for consultants, experts and Professors of Whatever. But one can't be disappointed if one doesn't anticipate. The real work for any future gain/lessons will have to be done in other forums ( my prime guess is the Coroner's Court ). One ultimately immaterial ( ie. probably wouldn't have made much difference ) but noteworthy finding was that the various emergency services heads didn't actually consult each other what-so-ever on the day. Apparently each thought the other was in charge, but none picked up the phone to any other to define that. Heaven forbid they should take a long distance car trip together, they'd all be in the backseat with no-one driving. The then police chief has lied under oath about where she was, and has since lied about the lie too ....

( edit ) I might add that the Coroner has far greater powers, when investigating the cause(s) of death(s). Also far greater penalties to apply if you try to BS ..... and the lawyers can't even tie their shoelaces without permission when dealing with the Coroner. It's just my kind of court - The Inquisition!! :-)
