Peter Garrett rethinks claims of ‘welcome’ money from Clubs NSW

Former Labor minister and Midnight Oil frontman Peter Garrett has backflipped over his revelations that he was offered “hundreds, if not thousands of dollars” by Clubs NSW soon after entering federal politics in 2004.

Mr Garrett told the makers of an upcoming ABC documentary, Kaching! Pokie Nation, that he was handed an envelope by a “representative” at a function hosted by clubs and hotels.

“It was hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars,” he said.

“I wasn’t going to accept money from them or from anyone in that way.”

The event was “put on to welcome” him into federal politics, he said. He then claimed, in the interview and in his upcoming autobiography, he rejected the bribe and returned the envelope.

But after he was contacted by the ABC’s 7.30 program yesterday, the former member for the Sydney seat of Kingsford-Smith retracted his comments and changed his story after allegedly speaking with his former staffer Kate Pasterfield.

In his new version of events, the envelope contained a cheque addressed to his electoral council rather and the incident was before his political career.

The new recollection, which publisher Allen & Unwin and documentary makers will use to update their respective book and film, would mean the offence of bribery or attempted bribery of a public official would not apply.

“If somebody gives a newly appointed politician an envelope with a large amount of cash in it, that strikes you immediately as highly suspicious and possibly an attempt to bribe,” Robert Wyld from the International Bar Association told the ABC.

Independent MP Andrew Wilkie said the incident was a “blatant attempt” to curry favour with a politician. “If we end up back at where this all started, that someone in the poker machine industry offered him what a reasonable person would see as a bribe, then there needs to be an investigation by an appro­priate authority,” Mr Wilkie said.

Clubs NSW told ABC it did not make any payment in any form to Mr Garrett. Mr Garrett could not be contacted.

This story has now developed on AP due to the recent interest in 'conflict of interest', perceived or otherwise, of some of our senior execs within the aviation safety bureaucracy..

Skidmore said it was an honour to have been recognised by the Royal Aeronautical Society as a Fellow.

“I look forward to being able to support the ideals of the society and further aviation safety in this great nation of ours,” Skidmore said.

Nope - Neither is this one, no conflict there.

 These guys are just sharing afternoon tea made by the CWA, no possible conflict there.




And here we have an airline executive simply showing concern for his passenger's well being and OHS rules.
