Alex Hawke "He is a cancer on the Liberal Party" - Alan Jones October 27, 2009

Just on the Liberal Party this 32-year-old member for Mitchell Alex Hawke has got himself into the news again. The argument being there has been a fallout between him and David Clarke. David Clarke is the Liberal Upper House MLC in the New South Wales parliament. I dont know either of them but if you had to make a choice as to who you would like to meet I would take David Clarke any day.

David Clarke has said I dont believe the Internet should be used as a licence for people to make anonymous allegations against others without them having to accept legal responsibility for what they say. I wonder how that applies to Alex Hawke?

This is a fellow who has developed bikie gang tactics in Liberal Party politics in NSW. He pretends he is the injured party and that he has nothing to do with it but I have a file here you could jump over of young people making statutory declarations testifying to the disgraceful behaviour of this fellow Hawke who will vilify and defame anyone he doesnt like in the party and organise in the most undemocratic way numbers for people whose fawning support he enjoys.
There is apparently some bloke called Farlow, Scott Farlow who is one of the team and this bloke Alex Hawke is in the Federal parliament and the Liberal Party are seeking government in New South Wales.

Barry OFarrell needs to get active here and Malcolm Turnbull as well. I repeat, the behaviour of this fellow Alex Hawke is now at last being exposed. He is a cancer on the Liberal Party in New South Wales and here he is in a weekend story in the Sun Herald where Mr Hawke claims he has calmed down and that becoming and MP has made him more moderate. Who does the bloke think he is kidding? I repeat, from the material in front of me, sent to me by people in the Liberal Party to frightened to speak out, because under Liberal Party rules if you speak out against anything in the Party they will expel you. How democratic is that ?

And, the President of the Party, this fellow Nick Campbell is supposedly a support of Alex Hawke. This is not an ethnic purge but a factional purge of the Liberal Party that threatens to derail Barry OFarell. I have said many times and I will say it again there is only one way for this to be stopped and that is the preselection of this fellow Hawke for the seat of Mitchell to be withdrawn sooner rather than later.

There is a postscript to that by the way and the Liberal Party in New South Wales. Paul Sheehan, the distinguished journalist wrote a piece yesterday that appeared in the Sydney Morning Herald about one Michael Towke and his preselection by the Liberal Party in July 2007 for the Liberal seat of Cook to replace the then outgoing member Bruce Baird. So, this fellow Towke was preselected. Paul Sheehan writes that from that point on the Lebanese Australian was attacked in the media with leaks from, as Paul Sheehan says, two senior people from within the Liberal Party whose identity is known to a widening circle within the party. And, as Paul Sheehan writes, News Ltd newspapers went after him, this bloke Towke.

In Paul Sheehans words leaks and spears. The result: a second ballot was ordered and Scott Morrison won the seat. Towke, for all that had been written about him in Paul Sheehans words was portrayed as a serial liar and an exaggerator took News Ltd to court for the stories written about him where he disputed every imputation as factual evidence. According to Paul Sheehan shortly before the matter ended in court this month Nation Wide News paid and settled. Paul Sheehan writes that it is telling that experienced Telegraph journalists appear to have based their stories on sources they trusted, suggesting those doing the leaking, this is from within the Liberal Party, were both senior figures and seasoned in dealing with the media. He ends his piece yesterday by saying that two years later Towkes honour has been restored, his name has been cleared, his standing in the party rehabilitated and his ties to the electorate broadened. Justice will be served only when the two assassins within the party are politically terminated. That process has begun. Thats Paul Sheehan. No names.

The Party Paul Sheehan is writing about is the Liberal Party. The assassins are alive. But, they had better know that the wagons are circling. The Towke story confirms what I am saying. There are people in the Liberal Party whose behaviour owes more to bikie gang politics than it does to liberal democracy.
