		PETER REITH: Oh - well, when we first met with them we said to them that we intended dealing with the issue sooner or - sooner rather than later, and we've simply been working behind the scenes to put ourselves in a position to do that.
		PETER REITH: Well, the fact of the matter is that I didn't say no to them, I said that we were looking at the options.
		PETER REITH: No - but we are of course mindful of the fact that generally in the community I think there's a feeling that, you know, there needs to be a fair deal.

	Peter Reith - Insiders - 23 September 2001
		PETER REITH: We are pretty good at quite a lot of things, for example, we've had very positive reports about the work of HMAS Anzac in the Persian Gulf on sanctions-busting work.
		PETER REITH: Well, let's face it, I think that is the central issue, and the fact is, this Government has wisely, in advance of these latest events, been putting more resources into defence.
		PETER REITH: The priority has got to be that we are in a position to respond to requests.

		When it was belatedly discovered, Reith and his boss, the prime minister, John Howard, sat on the secret for six months while internal and police investigations were undertaken.
		Unhelpfully for Reith, the investigating solicitor general glamorised the case by naming the prime suspects in the allegedly fraudulent use of the card "Miss X" and "Mr Y".
		In parliament today the opposition sought to capitalise from Odgers's suggestion that government officials must have known about the fraud in 1994, as she was warned off using the card by an official that year.

		Reith's job, as one of the bank's 23 directors, is full-time and his salary is indeed tax-free - a perk accorded to all employees of the bank, given its status as an international institution.
		Reith keeps in close contact with members of the party in Australia, and it is known among Australian friends that his 30-year marriage to wife Julie has ended since their move to London.
		Reith's term will end in two years' time when the bank term expires, or earlier than that if he is tipped out by an incoming Latham government.

	The Hon. Peter Keaston Reith - Opinion (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Both Mr Reith and his son have stated that the card was given to him on the basis that it was to be used in case of need to contact home or family.
		Mr Reith accepts that this was in breach of the determination of the Remuneration Tribunal and he has not disputed his liability for calls made by his son.
		On Paul Reith’s version of the relevant events, she must have obtained the numbers by hearing him use them on the telephone, by watching him enter them (if that procedure was then available) or by copying the card number from the card and the personal identification number from some record he had made of it.

		Curiously, Reith appears to have only half an eye to history: as the half-truths and obfuscations emerge, he interrupts his post-political career only occasionally to correct the record, to defend himself.
		Reith continues to be the company man he is, the politician who made his name as the most staunch, the most impervious to the consequences of his compromised politics.
		Heir apparent Peter Costello, may appear to be relaxed and comfortable with his (relatively) unsullied position on the asylum-seeker issue – even though Costello went in just as hard in support for the hard-line policy during the election campaign – but let’s look at possible outcomes for him.

		As John Howard has appointed Peter Reith to be the Australian executive director to the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development ("PM goes overboard with $250,000 post for Reith", Herald, April 17) the next obvious appointment will be of Ray Williams as chairman of the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority.
		Peter Reith is better qualified for deconstruction and deception than reconstruction and development.
		Peter Costello stated in a press conference that if there is evidence to convict Ray Williams and Co of offences against the corporations law, the courts will take care of it.

	Howard gives Reith plum job - theage.com.au
		Peter Reith, the man who once wanted to be prime minister, has been rewarded by the Federal Government with a London job that will give him better take-home pay than John Howard's.
		Mr Reith, the former MP for Flinders, will start work on August 1 as the Australian executive director to the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, on a tax-free salary of $250,000.
		Although Mr Reith had been told by senior military officers photographic evidence of the children overboard story was incorrect before he spoke on the phone to Mr Howard just days before the election, he refused to give evidence to a parliamentary inquiry on what he knew and what, if anything, he told the Prime Minister.

		REITH:: No, the judicial system and the process of assessment because if you take as a benchmark the processing system in Indonesia by the UNHCR these same sorts of people in terms of their percentage as being assessed as refugees is about 14 per cent.
		REITH:: Well obviously, if it is true, obviously any work on the ground in Afghanistan would be a dangerous situation but I think you have to balance against the dangers of action, the real dangers of inaction and Australia is rightly very much apart of the Coalition.
		REITH:: Greg Hunt is the candidate for Flinders and anybody in Flinders I can tell you he is a fantastic candidate, he's a young bloke, he's 35 he's got a lot going for him, he's very smart, he's a local boy as well.

	Bulletin - Reith throws his last bomb (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Peter Reith’s decision to quit politics does not change the reality of the Liberal Party leadership situation.
		Reith has been a very effective minister, a reformer and an achiever, an extremely powerful member of cabinet, and one of the government’s bravest and toughest warriors.
		Not only is Reith politically canny, courageous on policy, and an energetic advocate and salesman; he is also remarkably calm and level-headed in a crisis, and – always – a front-foot player.

		Now bear in mind that Mr Reith was not present in that house when either the details of the card were copied down or overheard, if you believe Mr Reith’s son, or given to Ms Odgers if you believe her version.
		Peter Reith has had a consistent story and that is that when he was told about the improper use of the card he set about trying to get to the bottom of it and that was in August or September, August/September last year.
		Look I feel the jury’s still out on Peter Reith but as a concerned citizen, my main concern is what appears to be the massive incompetence of the administration of these cards, both from maybe Telecom or whoever it is and also maybe Peter Reith’s department.

	H.R. Nicholls Society 2002: Stuart Wood: Vote of Thanks
		Reith's predecessor in Flinders, Phil Lynch, made such little impact during his 18-month tenure of the Labour Ministry that even his biographer fails to mention it.
		Reith's Act allows the type of deal that the SPC workers wanted, and even the reticent MUA have taken up the approach: they agreed not to take industrial action or seek wage increases as part of the deal that got their jobs back with Patrick.
		Reith also established the Office of the Employment Advocate for small business, although overall the system for small business is improved but far too complicated.

	Inquiry damns Reith's 'deliberate distortion' - smh.com.au
		The former defence minister, Peter Reith, deliberately misled the public during last year's federal election campaign, a Senate inquiry into the "children overboard" affair has found.
		Three days later, Mr Reith released photographs purporting to support the claims, but the pictures of children in the water were later revealed to have been taken when the vessel sank on October 8.
		The committee also said there was a "serious accountability vacuum" in ministers' offices and it was "deeply disturbed" by the actions and omissions of Mr Reith's staff in the handling of the children overboard affair.

	Peter Reith Profile
		As the Government's reform bandwagon gathers speed, Peter Reith can no longer afford to rest on his laurels and with the threat of increased PERRETT CONT/D: industrial action across Australia, employers are becoming impatient for further labour market deregulation.
		Peter Sams, Leigh Hubbard's New South Wales counterpart, is renowned for his outspoken criticism of the ACTU leadership, in particular, Bill Kelty.
		Certainly Peter Reith has shown that he is able to be flexible, indeed charming on occasions, and able to convince through debate and argument on some issues that his position is a correct one.

		REITH: Well, no, what we are doing is we are maintaining a sufficient military capability in that operation to achieve the objectives we first set at the start of the three weeks.

	ISN Security Watch - Tarnished Aussie politician for EBRD job
		Reith, once tipped as a possible successor to Prime Minister John Howard, was forced to retire after falsely claiming that asylum seekers, or boatpeople, that had arrived at one of Australiaâs offshore islands had thrown their children overboard to pressure Australia to take them in.
		Reithâs claims were a key factor in the government's resounding 2001 election win, which saw strong support for Howardâs anti-immigrant policies, which also included the storming of a refugee boat by Special Forces and the detention of asylum seekers in Outback prisons.
		"Peter Reith is the most discredited politician in Australia's history," Opposition Labor leader Simon Crean told reporters in Adelaide, calling the appointment another "job for the boys".

	truth overboard: "Overboard" lie exposed

		Peter Reith knew but says he didn’t tell anyone.
		Set aside, for a moment, the contentious question of whether or not Howard, Immigration Minister Philip Ruddock and former defence minister Peter Reith were deliberately lying when, at the start of the election campaign, they angrily berated boatpeople for tossing their children into the sea.

		Mr Reith, a high-powered consultant of defence contractor Tenix since leaving parliament at the last election, has been front page news in recent times for his role in the children overboard saga.
		The HR Nicholls Society was set up in the 1980s by luminaries of the political right such as John Stone and Peter Costello to foster a dramatic change in workplace relations to a decentralised system.

	Stop Peter Reith, union basher (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Meanwhile, industrial relations minister Peter Reith has planned a new march forward: his proposed amendments to the WRA will reduce legal protection of pay and conditions, give individual contracts priority, increase restrictions on starting and maintaining industrial action and on union officials' access to workplaces, and target well-organised workplaces for harassment.
		While Reith's defeat in the MUA dispute meant that he hardly dared whisper about industrial relations changes during the October 3 election campaign, many of the proposals in the “second wave” were contained in the Liberals' October 1 policy announcement.
		Reith's attacks on workers' rights can't be stopped without a serious campaign which strives to involve all unionised workers in industrial action, from national all-union stoppages to actions designed to hit the government and big business hardest where it hurts most.
