200325 Reminds Howcroft the current campaign the Dockies Union was undertaking requires him to testify re his relationship with Ron Chapman, like when was the last time he saw him alive and in whose company was he, and about Batkin and Norm Foorde, and re his hightailing it out of the said Dockies Union at the time of the 1980 union election campaign, despite the fact he was then union president and was a candidate for election to the position of secretary, and was he in fact warned he would necessarily be running afoul of elements who might kill him as they had killed before. Howcroft sneered and almost got through turning his lip in contempt when he had to beat a hasty retreat into the interior of a locked office complex, MT in pursuit.

Kerr arrived back on the scene, shook hands with MT, cluck clucked at the Howcroft chasing

incident, listened to the account of what had happened at Bell Scaffolding explained Ted Puplett was the organizer for that area, rang him arranging for him to be at Bell 's gate which is where he was when MT arrived back. Briefly explaining the situation to him and being assured in return that double or multi speaker systems were indeed barred from the workplace by the union.

Puplett's clear role then was to upbraid the members for having this gear on the job explain the

concept of bodgey delegates who rang the boss instead of the union was as iffy as can be, endorse MT as new and fair dinkum delegate and we all go back to work. Instead Puplett hears Yates out, tells MT to hear Yates out, who says MT is sacked and he had better get off the premises or he will have the coppers to him. All the while Puplett and Saal are smirking and grinning to each other like vicar and choirboy.

ITEM: August 18 1997 ABC newsreader Rod Young tells viewers snuff films have allegedly been

produced in Brisbane . Citing alleged existence of video tape shot on the bank of the Brisbane river in which a young male person is murdered. Young claims someone alleges police are aware of the existence of this tape and alleges high level police and government corruption. August 19, Young reiterates the allegation of the existence of the taped killing and of coverup. Channel 10 News has picked up the story, Peter Beattie says on television there should be a royal commission. August 25 Young introduces the story again, the station shows corrupt black and white footage clearly shot with a hand held black and white camera, of a heavyset dark haired man sitting an a ratty couch in a tatty room, watching a television set. Showing on the television set is footage of a male person approximately twelve years old accompanied by a heavyset man with dark closely cropped hair, aged about mid to late twenties who resembles the man watching the television set. A copper or a security man maybe. Young says then a hand clutching a knife emerges from off camera and the young person is slain. In the background one can see the mangrove banks adjacent to Queensland University at St. Lucia and across the river the high ground near the terry terminal adjacent to Dutton Park cemetery.
