AFP drag their feet, again. What did Gillard know?
Posted by – 29 January, 2012
AFP on the corrupt Craig Thomson MP – MIA
AFP on Treasury leaking of Coalition costings in 2010 – MIA
AFP on 30,000 cases of multiple voting during the 2010 election – MIA
AFP on government leaks about the Australia Network tender in 2011 – MIA
AFP on death threats against Coalition politicians – MIA
AFP on Wayne Swan colluding with his mate and used car salesman Mr Grant for tax-payers money in 2009 – MIA
AFP on former Defence Minister Joel Fitzgibbon and his relationship with the Chinese military via their representative and his
mistress
friend in 2008 – MIA
AFP on protecting Tony Abbott from a race riot in Canberra in 2012 – MIA (the PM had to tell the AFP to protect him)
…and I could go on. The AFP is thoroughly in the pocket of the ALP so don’t expect them to anything about honestly investigating the role of the PM and her office in inciting last week’s race riot:

Manager of opposition business Christopher Pyne today repeated calls for a full Australian Federal Police investigation into Thursday’s events.Well given that the PM’s own advisor has resigned about the issue – having given false information to the tent embassy’s go between to stoke anger against Abbott – the PM is unlikely to do anything to encourage the truth to come out.
“We are a long way from satisfying the Australian people about what the truth is about this matter,” Mr Pyne told Sky News’s Australian Agenda program.
“This is the most serious security scare an Australian prime minister has faced since the Fraser government. The Prime Minister should want to get to the bottom of what happened.”

As Ms Gillard insisted former media adviser Tony Hodges acted alone in revealing to union leader Kim Sattler the Opposition Leader’s whereabouts on Australia Day, Mr Abbott said it was imperative an Australian Federal Police investigation take place.The AFP do not need a referral. They can investigate at any point.
“The only way to get to the bottom of this is to have a full investigation,” Mr Abbott said in Sydney.
“Both Kim Sattler and the Prime Minister’s former staffer should give sworn statements and in the meantime the Prime Minister needs to tell us what she was told verbatim by her office and by her former staffer.”
Mr Abbott said it wasn’t up to him to personally refer the matter to the AFP.
“I want to give (Ms Gillard) a chance to do the right thing and refer this for full investigation to the Australian Federal Police,” he said.
The Opposition Leader said today that without a full AFP probe, the events and the involvement of the Prime Minister’s staffer would ultimately reflect badly on the Gillard government.I would not be in the least bit surprised if Gillard orchestrated the whole thing. A this stage there is no evidence that she did, but she did volunteer information about Tony Hodges’ role in the race riot, along with her other mate Kim Sattler who passed on the message to the rioters. The circle is closing in.
“We really need to get to bottom of this,” Mr Abbott said.
“Unless we do the conclusion the Australian people will inevitably draw is that there is a very grubby political culture in this government which goes right to the heart of the Prime Minister’s office.”
He said the events were “the most serious protest, the most serious security breach involving our nation’s top leaders in 30 years”.

Even Chris Uhlmann thinks a criminal offense has been committed:
CHRIS UHLMANN: And all the things I’ve just described are the basis for criminal offences: incitement to riot or affray, causing public alarm and making false statements with the intent to cause public alarm, so why isn’t that worthy of a police investigation?Not the AFP though. No charges against anyone, including the guy with a spear that tried to stab Abbott. The AFP are hiding behind the idea that they need a referral, which is false. If they suspect a criminal offence has been committed they need to put aside their ALP sympathies and act.
