Legal regulator set to investigate lawyer misconduct allegations about Prime Minister Juliar Gillard
A leading expert on Constitutional Law and History, Civil Political and Human Rights, and Legal Ethics, whistleblower, journalist and lawyer James Johnson has filed a formal complaint with the Victorian legal regulator, the Legal Services Commissioner, to trigger an investigation of media allegations of professional misconduct by Australian Prime Minister, lawyer, Julia Gillard.
“I am greatly disturbed about the widespread media reports containing allegations of unprofessional conduct / professional misconduct by the current Prime Minister of Australia Julia Eileen Gillard during the course of her employment in the 1990s as a senior solicitor - possibly even a salaried partner - with ASX Listed corporation and law firm Slater and Gordon.” Mr Johnson said.
These include allegations that hundreds of thousands of dollars of Australian Workers Union monies were misappropriated, and claims that some of these funds were used to purchase a house in which Ms Gillard and her then boyfriend, AWU official Bill Wilson, resided. There are allegations that incorrect statements were made to Western Australian union and other government officials. And it appears that Ms Gillard has confessed to not complying with even the most basic professional requirements of opening a file, making proper receipts and records of monies received and disbursed, and even of failing to issue invoices for legal work performed in connection with the scheme.
“Without a full and proper investigation by the proper regulatory authority, the public will never know whether Julia Gillard is guilty of any professional misconduct,” Mr Johnson said.
