The SMH, a newspaper that isnt even appropriate for wraping around bait, is reporting the following;
“In a speech to Parliament yesterday, Senator Heffernan also implied he had been offered a bribe over the controversial Tralee development outside Queanbeyan, near Canberra, which has since been given the green light by the NSW Government. He said he rang federal police last year after a delegation visited his office.”

The plot thickens…

Bring back Tralee raceway!!!!!

He says they offered him 1 million,, and he reported it at the time, as well as telling a journalist.

Strange how now Heffernen is on the opposite side of the chamber his memory suddenly improves.
I suspect his implications could have some truth to them, but coming from someone with his track record (Justice Kirby anyone?) they don’t really have much of a chance of being taken seriously.

Bribery is such a harsh word: how about calling it an “incentive” or a “gift” instead? 😉
