Man "With Tape That Could Bring Down the Government" Executed in Front of 9-Year-Old Son

 

Australia: Michael McGurk, who was murdered in front of his 9-year-old son, had a tape that could 'bring down the government' and was threatening to release it, according to associates. His house and office have reportedly been ransacked recently.

The tape allegedly contains a long conversation implicating senior figures in the New South Wales government for bribery. According to the tape, which McGurk reportedly made copies of, favours had been granted to businessmen in return for payments.

Millionaire McGurk had been in a number of business disputes including one with the Sultan of Brunei which was reportedly recently resolved. He was suspected of a firebombing several years ago but never formally charged.

"implicating senior figures" and money for favours to the businessmen"

This all sounds an awful lot like the UK since Blair.

It is sad to see Australia being forced down this road to.

  In all honesty,  
 
This isn't limited to just one country or government, this is the whole world... with the collective forces of power working against those who don't want to be controlled or manipulated.

Keep doing your nasty deeds, its only going to wake more people up to your dreams of fascism.

  A tape?  
 
When was it made?

Last time I checked mp4 was the best way to go about these things now.

Who the hell uses tape?

  Hope  
 
it gets released somehow if the information is really as juicy as it sounds.

  but I thought  
 
Bribery was a common part of being in govt? There isn't a single govt that isn't effected by bribery...
The people getting in trouble for bribery need to realize that to get away with it, they just give a receipt for the money and label it as "Campaign donation"
Works for the oil companies.
