Groan, not another one
Check out this story today in Australian News: Kickback ‘paid through shadowy agent’. And where was that shadowy agent based? You guessed it, Canada.
Albert Shimoon, based in Ottawa, often referred to expenses he incurred in Iraq and the high cost of doing business there, and Mr Joyce said he did not think that might have involved illicit payments.
"It did not occur to me that they were illicit … that didn’t cross my mind," he said.
"I regarded all of that carry on of Shimoon as exactly that – carry on." Mr Joyce admitted he never did any checks on Mr Shimoon’s company, AS International Enterprise.
"The reality is that Albert’s a one man band and he probably has a number of companies floating around," he told the inquiry.
How many floating around in Canada? How many Oil-for-Food connections can one country have and still not hold a public inquiry? Note to new Canadian government…
Added notes: Tongsun Park was denied bail. Maurice Strong gave a speech to the Asian Development Bank in Manila yesterday: here are the speaking notes.
