Ms Bishop has confirmed she met Mr Blewitt for about 10 minutes in Melbourne last Friday.
She said she was seeking documents relating to Ms Gillard’s involvement in setting up the association.
“The documents would be documents of Slater & Gordon. He didn’t produce any documents, so I didn’t use documents from Mr Blewitt,” Ms Bishop said.
Asked if he seemed like a trustworthy character, Ms Bishop replied: “No, he’s a self-confessed fraudster”.
Labor frontbencher Anthony Albanese told Sky News …
“She’s meeting, as the deputy leader of the Opposition, with this bloke at a private, secret meeting to discuss strategy… to try and bring down a Prime Minister,”
“This says a lot about Julie Bishop’s values, it says a lot about the Liberal party.”
A presenter for the 730 Report met Mr Blewitt for 7 minutes and 58 seconds … what does that say about the ABC? You can watch it for yourself. Is he an imbecile as Julia suggests? Compare his responses to Julia’s in regard to this matter. Who sounds more truthful?
Ten minutes here, 7 minutes 58 there, back in the good old days Ralph recalls when Bruce Wilson and Julia would yarn the night away …
… as the three of them would walk the short distance across the road to The Fitz cafe, which still plies a healthy trade…
The 67-year-old says he is not bitter about the past and recalls fondly the long late breakfasts discussing union factionalism and politics over strong coffee…
Blewitt’s memory of those heady times is hazy at times. But he remembers fondly visiting the Fitzroy property and the three of them having robust yarns about the big issues of the day.
Now what does that say about Julia and the Labor Party?
