Dear Prime Minister. You are a liar.
This previously redacted question asked of Julia Gillard in her departure interview reveals so much about the person.
Peter Gordon: “Were you aware at any time that the balance of the funds to make up the capital was to be provided by contributory mortgage of which Jonathan Rothfield (a Slater & Gordon partner) was trustee?”
Julia Gillard: “I don’t, I don’t think I knew that at the time, where the source of funds was. It’s subsequently been raised with me that that was done through the Slater & Gordon mortgage register but I didn’t have any recollection of that.”
It's significant because the Slater and Gordon mortgage and the property purchase had the effect of facilitating money laundering.
Julia Gillard says she did not know about the mortgage.
Here is the memo from Sylvia Dickson (from the finance arm of Slater and Gordon) to Olive Brosnahan, saying that the loan approval letter was forthcoming. Note Sylvia states that she assume Olive is dealing with someone local.
So Sylvia is keen to point out that Olive is dealing with someone local.
Here is the letter of offer, signed on the same day as it's issued, by Bruce Wilson.
So all of that is done and dusted on 10 March, 1993. Blewitt knew nothing, the letter was handed over to Wilson, he signed it, accepted it and returned it the same day.
But that night there must have been some telepathic discussion between Bruce Wilson who knew about the mortgage and Julia Gillard who knew nothing.
Here is the dated letter from Julia's PA about the penalty interest.
Same day. Julia would like a memo. Not Bruce. Not Ralph. Julia would like a memo about the penalty mortgage interest on the mortgage she knew nothing about.
Olive obliged in handwriting first.
But someone wanted something in writing they could keep - so Olive's note was typed up.
And all about that mortgage that Julia Gillard knew nothing about.
