John Menadue. Liberal Party misuse of Royal Commissions.

Dyson Heydon is in the news again. 

Several weeks ago he appeared to question the credibility of Bill Shorten as a witness before the Trade Union Royal Commission. He also had unusual things to say about the credibility of Julia Gillard when she appeared before the Commission. 

See below a repost of an article on the Liberal Party and royal commissions.

REPOST

With the Abbott Government there is a pattern of using Royal Commissions to attack former and current ALP leaders. See the links below to two earlier posts on the subject.

What we really need is a Royal Commission into billions of dollars of tax avoidance by major companies operating in Australia. They are avoiding proper scrutiny.

John Menadue.

The Royal Commission into the Home Insulation Program - a 'dog's breakfast'. What a remarkable thing to say!
