Aust Wheat Board is not about kickbacks.

Sure tell me the Australian Wheat Board slip up emerged to the surface of earth in some incredible accidental force of coincidence. Sure the issue is about whom paid whom extra bucks when and the shock of it all? Every godamn country in the Middle East does business with under the table money…

Australia could not exist in the Middle East markets if padding of built in payoffs doled out to the layers of beauracratic takers and opportunists did not exist. More times than I can count I built in mandatory pay offs in the price of the goods when I working in export sales in the region. I recall US President Jimmy Carter oulawed American corporations from paying illegal bribes and kickbacks in the Middle East. That was the biggest joke around the expatriate circuit for several years.

The issue is not about the kickbacks or funnelled funds to non-existant trucking companies. The issue is what the hell has the Howard Government done that it wasn’t supposed to do, or failed to tow the line on that it was expected to perform on? You don’t get heavy-duty exposure on such a broad measure able to harm high profile individuals careers in government and in big Australian corporations unless some serious people behaviour corrections are going on!

The political landscape in the normal course of events is constructed from senior ministers and top dogs that someone has something on them. Howard, Downer, Costello, Beazely, none of these men are in office unless something can be dropped on them to bring them back in line whenever they fall out of line. Out of line usually refers to them backing off the globalisation agenda, failing to tow the neocon preemptive war program. The AWB exposure deal is likely a serious warning shot to get the Howard government back on schedule with the new world order project if you want to keep your cushy political seat.
