Talk:Joe Tripodi

message: Tonette Kelly is the long serving senior legal officer of NSW Maritime currently under investigation by the New South Wales Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) . Tonette Kelly is also being prosecuted by the New South Wales Police for unauthorised access to a colleagues emails. During the recent public hearings of the ICAC, allegations as diverse as forgery, fraud and tax evasion were levelled at Ms Kelly. The principal allegation concerned Ms Kelly's conduct of a private legal practice using government resources.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bullst (talk • contribs) 11:34, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

message: Hamidur Rahman was a year 8 schoolboy who died from apparent school neglect. A whistleblower appropriately brought the issue to the attention of Tripodi and was subsequently illegally blacklisted from work and smeared in public media. The story has not received widespread attention yet, but it is probably good to place some appropriate explanatory links in talk so as to improve the article when the story breaks.

replies: text: Given your comments that the whistleblower was "smeared in public media", would you please provide evidence via links from reputable media sources? A link to a personal blog, whilst clearly gives some background to the unfortunate situation, doesn't provide any link to Tripodi. Thanks Jherschel (talk) 09:32, 12 November 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: From review of the information that you have provided, I can't see any direct link to Joe Tripodi. If you wish to include details of Tripodi's direct involvement with Hamidur Rahman, please provide well sourced and independent facts on the action that he did, or did not, take that resulted in this unfortunate circumstance arising. The link to the Hansard did not provide any evidence of Tripodi being involved. Each of ICAC, the NSW Police, and the NSW Ombudsman are required to determine if the matter warrants further investigation or laying criminal charges. What was the outcome with each agency? As a former political candidate, you may be a little too close to the matter to provide a neutral point of view. Jherschel (talk)
It is undisputed public domain the conversation took place. But despite your apparent attempt to sideline or cross examine me as a responsible editor this is not an article posting, but an informative posting for talk allowing an understanding of current events and providing a background for what is anticipated. Yers I am too close to the issue, hence I am not posting this in the article. But it is public domain, and informs about the issue at hand. As for the specifics of dealings with the ICAC, or Ombudsman's office, as you may be aware, they are subject to privilege, but I am able to refer to them and it may be inferred that for whatever reason no action has been taken, but I am allowed to publicly broach the issue and have done so.

message: Joe has been named as the person to install 3 premiers while fellow ALP member Obeid allegedly profited by over $100 million. Seems significant. http://www.smh.com.au/nsw/obeid-and-tripodi-ruled-the-roost-icac-hears-20121113-299oa.html DDB (talk) 11:32, 15 November 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Unlike Obeid, Macdonald, and Roozendaal, Tripodi has not been named by the Independent Commission Against Corruption as a person of interest. Neither has Tripodi been asked to appear before the Commission to give evidence in camera or at a hearing. Rees, Iemma and Sartor have been called to give evidence before the Commission as witnesses, commenting on the alleged close relationship between Obeid and Macdonald. It is the Herald that is making reference to Tripodi. Rangasyd (talk) 12:10, 15 November 2012 (UTC)

message: His sister in law is a notable person also part of a corruption inquiry. Her presence in his life is notable and should not be deleted from the front page. This is an encyclopaedia which records relevant information of even such a personal nature of public figures. DDB (talk)
*Corruption or not is irrelevant. She is notable and relevant to his biography. A single mention doesn't violate WP:UNDUE and I've undone the latest attempt to remove it. Stalwart111 12:12, 5 April 2014 (UTC)
