	Robert Askin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sir Robert William Askin, GCMG (April 4, 1907 - September 9, 1981) was Premier of New South Wales from 1965 to 1975.
		Askin's Premiership was also marked by a significant increase in the activities of organised crime groups in NSW.
		With Askin's death, investigative journalists were now freed from the threat of legal action under Australia's punitive defamation and libel laws - unlike the United States, Australia has no constitutional guarantee of Freedom of Speech - and stories about his reputed corruption hit the press almost immediately.

	ASKIN, SIR ROBERT (ROBIN) WILLIAM (1907-1981), bank officer and premier, was born on 4 April 1907 at the Crown Street ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Askin had spent much of his working life in two ‘socialist’ institutions, the Government Savings Bank and the Rural Bank, and his mother’s family had been Laborites; in 1950, Labor had pre-selected his uncle, C.R. Halliday, for the seat of Drummoyne.
		Askin’s political skills included a ‘phenomenal memory for faces’, a feel for public opinion that was ‘uncanny’, and a ‘flair for manoeuvre’.
		Another was that Sydney bookmakers had given Askin $55,000 on the eve of his retirement to prevent a doubling of the bookmakers’ turnover tax, a payment Askin described unapologetically as ‘a gratuity from some members of the racing fraternity’.

		In November, 1852, Robert M., seeking fortune in a new land before he was fifteen years old, crossed the Atlantic and joined an uncle at Trenton, Canada, where he gave about two years to learning the tinner's trade.
		Captain Askin married, February 22, 1866, Clara Alice Jameson, a native of Missouri, who bore him four children: Charles Robert and Mary Catherine are dead; William C. lives in Missouri; John Herbert was connected with his father in business at Visalia and is still a resident of that city.
		Captain Askin was a constituent member of the post of the Grand Army of the Republic at Salem, Mo., and on coming to Visalia transferred his membership to Gen. George Wright Post No. 111, of that city.

	Stateline NSW
		ASKIN: If he were ill, he deserves sympathy and no criticism whatsoever, he deserves medical treatment, and that was the idea of having the medical examination.
		The great tension began as Askin appeared willing to sell off huge areas of old Sydney to modern developers, and so areas which people had begun to see as historically interesting and significant and valuable, like Woolloomooloo, Paddington, the Rocks, were all under threat to development.
		Askin and his generation were the upholders of a kind of sexual hypocrisy.

	Adjudication No. 1024
		In his complaint, Mr Reading disputes that the crime figures were falsified, or that the then police commissioner, NTW Allan, had seriously suggested that Mr Arantz was mad, or that the then police minister and premier, Sir Robert Askin, had "aided and abetted" Mr Allan in his attempts to discredit Mr Arantz.
		The paper declares that Mr Reading, who is a former press secretary to Sir Robert Askin and well-known for his defence of Sir Robert's reputation, is wrong on all three points.
		It is clear that today's appropriate authorities accept that Mr Arantz was seriously mistreated by those in charge in 1971; and at the head of those in charge were the then police commissioner, Mr Allan, and the then police minister, Sir Robert Askin.

	MILESAGO- Features - The Juanita Nielsen Case
		Askin’s corruption was proved only after Lady Askin's death, when her vast estate revealed wealth far beyond her late husband’s reputed legal earnings.
		But Askin was intent on crushing Labor's control, so immediately after taking office in May 1965 he appointed a Boundaries Commission, whose obvious purpose was to reset the boundaries to their pre-1948 status.
		As was undoubtedly the intention, Askin's "reforms" had a tremendous impact on planning and development in the CBD and surrounding suburbs.

	PM - Victorian Liberals count cost of Dean failure
		At a time when his party leader Robert Doyle, was making a big effort to unseat Steve Bracks as Premier, he's injected a moment of stunning incompetence which is unlikely to do his party any good.
		RAFAEL EPSTEIN: Robert Doyle was trying to spin the un-spinable, saying the action he had no option but to take, sacking his shadow Treasurer, was in fact proof of Mr Doyle’s leadership credentials.
		ROBERT DOYLE: Well I’m bitterly disappointed, but I have immediately taken the steps that need to be taken.

	Adjudication No. 630 (March 1993) [1993] APC 22
		It was the paper's failure to categorise one of the two allegations made in the article as an allegation and not a proven fact which led to the Press Council's criticism.
		Askin, apart from allowing organised crime to become entrenched in Sydney, was a card player and gambler who kept less than salubrious company.
		Debate about Sir Robert Askin's alleged corruption, or that of any other powerful politician, is justified in the public interest, but newspapers have a responsibility to distinguish allegation from proved fact.

	Picking over vermin may guide Howard - Richard Ackland - www.smh.com.au
		The prime minister, William McMahon, addressed the meeting, followed by a heart-warming stump-style speech from the premier of NSW, Robert Askin, who said: "The real masters of the Labor Party are Messrs Hawke, Mundey, Carmichael, Halfpenny and Crawford and all the rest of the left-wingers with a good sprinkling of commos.
		The plaintiff contended that the sting of the attack was the word "vermin" and that he was a person who would threaten the prime minister with industrial violence unless his demands were met.
		Askin came up with an ingenious argument that his use of the word "vermin" applied to "bodies of interjectors in the hall".

		Askin was a corrupt State Premier, while Lewis was a corrupt Police Commissioner, who was later jailed for extorting $600,000 from hardened criminals.
		NSW Premier Sir Robert Askin was also reputed to have bought his knighthood.
		Askin’s corruption was proven only after his wife’s death, whereupon investigations were made into how she was able to leave a vast estate that reflected wealth far beyond her late husband’s reputed legal earnings.

	Adjudication No. 306 (October 1986) [1986] APC 42
		Mr R J Ferguson, who was the driver to Premier Sir Robert Askin complains to the Press Council of an article in The Sydney Morning Herald of March 3, 1986, and of the paper's failure to publish a letter which he wrote to the editor concerning it.
		He also complains that the headline and the context conveys to the ordinary reader "that Sir Robert was a criminal, caught up by legislation especially designed to strip criminals of their ill-gotten gains, and in the same boat as persons like Trimbole, Cornwall and Maher", but offers no evidence in support.
		If the paper did not intend to imply that Sir Robert's estate was caught up as a result of taxation or other criminal offences on his part, it is unfortunate that it did not say so more clearly.

		And Bob Askin, as a politician who had grabbed state leadership after a long run under Labor, was no exception.
		This night seemed no different from any other, except when one stole a look at the clock on the walnut-paneled wall, one realised that one would far rather be at home, than standing with a warming drink in one hand, and a semi-permanent smile on one's face.
		Now, as I have stated earlier in these writings, it was Sir Robert's policy to reward people who had achieved eminence in their callings, and he was most generous to folk from the arts.

	Letter to the Editor
		The question of the integrity of the Commission of Inquiry was made an issue on March 22 when the paper sought and was granted leave, in breach of the Council's procedural rules, to seek to prove that Askin had been corrupt.
		Waller and condemnation of Askin, I feel the Council would have been on stronger ground if it had specified the items that had impressed it and provided reasons why it had been so impressed.
		It is not a body that will determine whether Sir Robert Askin was "corrupt" or a "scoundrel".

		The Liberal Party was founded on 31 August, 1945, after Robert Menzies called a conference in 1944 of conservative parties and other groups opposed to the ruling Australian Labor Party.
		Anti-communism was successfully exploited through the 1950s and 1960s by Robert Menzies and his successors.

		As it has ruled previously, in matters relating to the Askin debate, the Council believes The Sun[Dhatch]Herald did not breach acceptable standards in publishing the journalist's opinion.
		Mr Britton also complains that there is an "inescapable inference" in the assertion that Sir Robert Askin's colleagues and government were also corrupt.
		Also given the extensive treatment of the issue in its pages, it was not unfair of the newspaper to close the correspondence at this stage.

		Mr Reading complained that the article defamed Sir Robert and that a letter he wrote in response was not published.
		Some readers of that earlier article would have known little or nothing about the Askin government; they were entitled to know that the widespread view that the Premier was corrupt has not gone unchallenged.
		The Press Council finds no fault on the part of the newspaper in publishing the bylined humorous article and considers that the editor of the letters section had no obligation to publish a letter from Mr Reading in terms which have frequently appeared.

		* Sir Robert Askin was Premier of the state of New South Wales for a decade beginning in 1965.
		Immediately after Askin died in 1981, the National Times ran a front-page story entitled "Askin: friend to organised crime."[3] It was safe to publish the story because, in Australia, dead people cannot sue.
