9/11 Attacks

I suppose as PM she cant say anything else!

JULIA Gillard has dismissed as “stupid and wrong” a senior union official’s belief that the 9/11 attacks were a conspiracy but has refused to discipline him.

Kevin Bracken, the Victorian secretary of the Maritime Union of Australia and Victorian Trades Hall Council president, today renewed his call for a fresh inquiry into the 9/11 attacks, claiming the “official story doesn’t stand up to scientific scrutiny”.

He claimed elements of the former Bush government, military personnel and security services were involved in the attacks.

But VTHC secretary Brian Boyd today distanced unions from Mr Bracken’s views.

The Opposition opened parliamentary question time on the matter today, with Victorian MP Josh Frydenberg asking the Prime Minister what action she would take against Mr Bracken “to send a message that such remarks are unacceptable”.
