Peter Garrett
After watching him speaking about this on TV last night where he categorically said he was offered a wad of money in an envelope; I find it astonishing that he now wants to retract all he said.
I wonder who came knocking on his door??
"Former Labor minister Peter Garrett has revealed he was offered 'hundreds, if not thousands of dollars' by Clubs New South Wales, the peak licensed clubs body that has been heavily involved in lobbying against poker machine restrictions over more than a decade.
Mr Garrett says he was handed an envelope filled with money at a function shortly after being elected in 2004. The revelation was to be included in his autobiography and a new documentary about gambling in Australia, but Peter Garrett no longer wants the allegation going to air."
I reckon he is now denying it becaus he could be punished for not declaring it earlier. I believe his earlier version that he was offered cash but we may never know for sure.
