Peter van Onselen almost!

Peter van Onselen is becoming almost as inaccurate at political punditry as that other infamous Liberal Party blogger and online gamining spiver.

EXCLUSIVE: Fascists guided by Andrew Landeryou

Team Slanderyou has reported exclusively of Andrew Landeryou’s steady transition to the far right of Australian politics.

A former financial “contributor” to the Daleks of the ALP, Landeryou in recent years has edited a Liberal Party Blog.

More recently he was an unnamed facilitator of the anti-Ted Ballieu faction in the Victorian Liberal Party.

Team Slanderyou can now reveal that the Australian shadowy fascist cell Stormfront has linked to and taken guidance from Andrew Landeryou’s writings.

The disturbing developments have been compounded by the 50,000 plus readership of the StormFront website.

Patriots will be shocked, but not surprised.

Patriots, TS will be taking a short break and will return mid December for our celebrated pre-Christmas special.

Australia’s blogosphere point towards a potential “golden age of political journalism"

Andrew Landeryou was caught defending Liberal cyber-bullies. (Safe third party site)

Enough said. Background here. (TS blog)

Andrew Landeryou’s “conflicted” about young students

Landeryou’s story about drunken young Liberal students has been revealed to be totally conflicted.

Not unusual.

Landeryou admits to another debt

The human debt magnet, Andrew Landeryou, has today revealed another debtor - Ian Hanke.

Landeryou was not forthcoming on whether the debt was organised after he started to write his Liberal Party blog.

And of course, no new news on when and how Landeryou will pay off his debts. Landeryou is doing it rather tough living the cafe latte inner city lifestyle, and not having to work.

“He Who Stands For Nothing” smoking gun

The Australian over the weekend revealed the content of the Liberal Party’s inquisition into the “He Who Stands For Nothing” scandalously controversial ‘Bloggate’ imbroglio.

A copy of the article follows. Please click into a new tab to read the text.

It seems that Landeryou has been clearly implicated by the inquisition.

The report does not name the temporary employee (the Liberal Party blogger) who “now works in a different field” – (same field actually!) The question is why not?

The Australian in March 2007 first revealed that Andrew Landeryou wrote a Liberal Party blog.

The Liberal’s own inquisition has revealed that the Liberal traitors were perpetuating a vindictive culture via their blog, which was technically mirrored by the Blog of Sleaze.

Meanwhile, Andrew Landeryou continues to taunt the review.

Spot the Similarity Game

The long overdue return of our popular game.

For new players, you will need to spot the similarity between the two people featured. Hint: the game is easier than it looks.

One wrote a hate blog, the other’s blog is a hate list.

Both were sacked. One was sacked from ‘political office’; and the other was sacked from his own business (IQ Corp).

Both wrote Liberal Party blogs, especially Andrew Landeryou as reported by The Australian .

Both hate Ted Ballieu.

Both wrote their blogs “Gleefully”.

At least one of them has a public chicken fetish.

Both are now (permanently?) unemployed.

Again, apologies Patriots, but another busy week ahead for TS, so our posts will be less frequent this week.

(UPDATED x7) SUNDAY ROAST SCANDAL SPECIAL: Liberal Party Blogger stays silent since April 15

UPDATE 7 (THURSDAY)

Andrew Landeryou claims the anti-Ted hate blog is not cybercrime. Is Landeryou tired of going to court? Is this why?

UPDATE 6 (WEDNESDAY)

Emails tell all. Who else was listed in the "TO" contacts?

UPDATE 5 (MONDAY)

It seems that even Landeryou's supporters have their doubts about Landeryou: "Landeryou may be seen as too close to the event".

UPDATE 4 (MONDAY)

New revelations concerning the Liberal Party hate blog: "Dr Kemp said there were several other people involved in the blog, though none are believed to be Liberal MPs."

UPDATE 3 (MONDAY)

Alpine Opinion casts a critical eye: "The site, hewhostandsfornothing.blogspot.com, can now only be accessed by invitation, but rogue (and much despised) hate-blogger Andrew Landeryou has provided his readers with a link to some older copies". Hate blogger indeed!

UPDATE 2 (MONDAY)

The stench surrounding this scandal is getting worse. To read the offending hate blog, click here. Curiously, the same issues canvassed are regularly featured on Landeryou's Blog of Sleaze. Coincidence?

UPDATED (MONDAY)

The Herald Sun confirms that Andrew Landeryou knew! And why does Landeryou have access to the hate blog, as revealed by Andrew Bolt?

ORIGINAL

Liberal Party Blogger, Andrew Landeryou, has remained silent until today concerning the outing of authors of anti “Red Ted” hate blog hewhostandsfornothing.blogspot.com. The chief culprit was sacked on April 15.

The outing and sacking of the blog authors follow on from revelations of Andrew Landeryou’s links to factions within the Liberal Party.

Landeryou was today (Sunday), given revelations in the Herald Sun and The Age, forced to comment on the developing scandal.

The scandal has rightfully sickened patriots.

The scandal mirrors other events in Landeryou’s life that some have termed the “failure factor”. These events include MUSU, IQ Corp, online gaming spivery, and his insolvent Blog of Sleaze.

Landeryou: retrospectively thrown out

Geelong is a hot bed of political controversy at the moment. What with this news, and that the local newspaper, the Geelong Advertiser describing Landeryou as a "...notorious internet blogger".

What appears odd, is that if true concerning this story, why hasn't Landeryou been threatened with retrospective expulsion from the ALP?

We know there are serious legal philosophical issues with retrospective legislation, but does that apply to former ALP members who now write exclusively for the Liberal Party?

Andrew Landeryou’s “cut and run”

The Herald Sun newspaper, which Andrew Landeryou has himself rated highly, wrote the following about Landeryou’s “cut and run” to Costa Rica, and the associated fall out.

The only issue that the Herald Sun got wrong with its analysis is that Landeryou was not a Labor rat. He is in fact a Liberal Party rat, as he writes exclusively for the Liberal Party, as The Australian has reported.

For those time poor TS readers, we have provided a complementary Readers Digest version – reading the large font text provides a more than useful summary.

Rat left me bankrupt

FORMER city councillor Kimberley Kitching is bankrupt and set to lose her Parkville mansion over $3 million owed to retail tycoon Solomon Lew.

Ms Kitching blamed her financial collapse on her missing husband, Labor Party powerbroker Andrew Landeryou, who has skipped town leaving a trail of debt.

The son of former Cain government minister Bill Landeryou vanished in December and has not been seen since.

There is a warrant out for his arrest for failing to give evidence over the collapse of the Melbourne University Student Union.

Ms Kitching revealed yesterday she had filed for voluntary bankruptcy ahead of a scheduled court appearance today over the debt to Mr Lew.

She now stands to lose her heritage-listed Parkville mansion -- a wedding present from her husband -- to repay her creditors.

Breaking a long-standing silence, Ms Kitching told the Herald Sun she hadn't seen her husband since December 6, and wasn't sure if she ever would again.

"My husband told me he was going to Sydney on a business trip. He has not returned. I have not seen him since," she wrote in a statement.

"Over the last couple of months, I have been forced to accept that my husband has gone. I have no indication of his whereabouts or whether he intends to return.

"I fully trusted my husband and accepted his word that he would meet the financial commitments he had asked and advised me to enter into."

The $3 million debt relates to a failed company, IQ Corporation, controlled by Mr Landeryou and in which Mr Lew was a major investor.

Andrew Landeryou, his wife and his father Bill all signed documents agreeing to cover the debt.

An instalment due on December 22 wasn't paid, triggering the court battle over the funds.

Ms Kitching said in her statement that her attempts to reach a settlement with Mr Lew over the matter had failed.

Her bankruptcy trustee, Jim Downey, said apart from the debt to Mr Lew, Ms Kitching owed $600,000 to the Adelaide Bank, $35,000 to her father, and smaller amounts to about a dozen other creditors.

The Supreme Court this month heard claims that Andrew Landeryou transferred about $1 million to Hong Kong before he went missing. Liquidators believe some of the money has since been moved to Cyprus.

Ms Kitching served as a Melbourne city councillor until last year and was touted as a future mayor.

DOES ANDREW LANDERYOU SMEAR GAYS & HATE EMPLOYMENT?

Andrew Landeryou recently has written at length about the private lives of politicians, in particular their sexual orientation. It was a sad, tawdry smear.

Landeryou uses people’s gay orientation as a reference of abuse.

It seems that as per usual, Landeryou has used the claims about a Federal Liberal Parl Secs orientation in his ongoing internal Liberal Party factional positioning.

But this not a one off: Landeryou has form.

In October last year, Landeryou initiated an unprovoked slur calling Antony Lowenstein gay!

In other news, Landeryou has been advertising on his bankrupt blog a link to a job search website. It is rather interesting that he hasn’t used the website himself. Or perhaps, it not surprising after all.

Andrew Landeryou has no game (webgame that is)

While Andrew Landeryou is busy with Liberal Party leadership concerns, we can look at Andy's business record. Andrew Landeryou has a tremendous record of corporate failure, from MUSU, IQ Corp, and Optima.

In the meantime, shareholder activists are busily creating wealth.

Andy can’t even pay his Diners credit card bill. And his sleazey, Liberal Party blog is insolvent.

So, is Andy living totally in the cash economy?

Andrew Landeryou has a Google & Fairfax induced paranoid high

Overnight, Google and the Australian media company Fairfax, owner/operators of newspaper mastheads such as Melbourne’s The Age, have confirmed an advertsing sharing deal.

Over the past two years, former inmate and Liberal Party blogger Andrew Landeryou has made a series of outlandish, paranoid and often laughable allegations about Fairfax and Google, amongst other things suggesting that Fairfax is some sort of communist cadre, and disparaging Google for its free-speech business operations in the People’s Republic of China.

Landeryou’s paranoid hypocrisy is doubly stark.

His criticism of Fairfax, and The Age in particular, is based not on fact, as Fairfax in economic terms is a pure profit maximiser, with its board chaired by Ron Walker the most successful fundraiser the Liberal Party has ever had. His paranoid criticism is founded on terror of the forensic investigative skills of custodians of free speech Money and Carbone (joined in the good fight by the many other outstanding and ethical journalists of The Age), who have relentlessly and often at great personal cost maintained their public service overview of Landeryou’s various activities.

Landeryou’s criticisms of Google are difficult to understand from the point of view that Google runs (arguably) the most popular free global blogging service, Blogger. Landeryou uses the free service to run his insolvent blog. If Landeryou was at all consistent, he would shift his Liberal Party blog to another blogging platform.

Ps: Team Slanderyou intended to run this morning the next edition of the internationally popular “Spot the Similarity” game. We have decided to hold it back until later in the week.

MANIC MONDAY SPECIAL: Andrew Landeryou & the Tattersalls Controversy

The Age has been running a series of exposes on the State Government’s management of the lotteries licence, and in particular its relationship with lobbyists representing lotteries licensee Tattersalls. Part of the story involves David White and Hawker Britton.

An element of the tale not (yet?) covered by The Age is Andrew Landeryou’s involvement.

When not writing his Liberal Party blog (as reported by The Australian), Andy also contracts out to Hawker Britton. Team Slanderyou pointed out (to its growing band of readers - nearly 10,000 by the way) that Andy provides the unofficial/back-channel blogging information support service to HB.

This in part explains why Andy has written contemptuously of HB’s lobbying rival, CPR Communications. Landeryou has awkwardly attempted to run a defence here. Andy clearly has a vested interest in seeing CPR ‘damaged’. Andy makes a number of staggering allegations.

As The Age reports, David White has become a millionaire through his lobbying efforts. However, Andy has so far only managed to covert nearly $4 million into personal bankruptcy. He is clearly struggling to make any money from his poorly visited blog.

Andrew Landeryou involved in Liberal Party preselections

We earlier wrote that The Australian had reported that Andrew Landeryou was a Liberal Party blogger.

Landeryou has been rather active in Liberal Party preselections of late, publishing the news that Prodos will be a candidate for the Tories.

So active was Landeryou in the preselection that Prodos remarked on his blog: "I’m impressed."

Are you impressed dear reader?

Slanderyou makes Hansard! Disinfectant to Andrew Landeryou

Andrew Landeryou was mentioned in Hansard, as was this blog.

The odd thing is why was the Green MP referencing Andrew Landeryou, whom The Australian records as a Liberal Party blogger.

At first thought, we figured is was due to the preference deal between the Liberals and the Greens at the last state election.

But then again, perhaps it was an innocent mistake, a typo, as the draft Hansard has yet to record: “He (Landeryou) is obviously well MISinformed about matters that move through this chamber”.

Let’s hope Landeryou hasn’t infected Hansard as his blog has infected the archives of the National Library.

There are at least a number of politicians hoping that won’t happen. For example, Bruce Atkinson said in Parliament (into Hansard!): “It is interesting that on the Internet at the moment Andrew Landeryou is running around defaming quite a number of people.”

Or this “(the problem with) Mr Landeryou is that he can hardly ever get his facts right on the blog site”, read into the Federal Parliament’s Hansard, by Gavan O’Connor, in 2005.

Andrew Landeryou and Snitch

Only on Wednesday last week did The Australian confirm that Andrew Landeryou was a Liberal blogger.

Now, The Australian Snitch columnist has put in a retraction: "Snitch last week described Andrew Landeryou as a Liberal blogger. In fact, he snipes from a parapet on the opposite side."

Interesting use of words.

According to our thesaurus, synonyms for parapet include 'stockade'. Did Snitch really mean this?

Liberal Party blogger Andrew Landeryou: Breacher criticises! (UPDATED)

UPDATED
Andrew Landeryou has firmly pressed down on the hyperbole button. He is now using the term 'faux-journalist' to criticise a real journalist. An issue for Team Slanderyou is that we used the term, rather successfully, to describe Andy on 1 December 2006.

No need to link to us Andy, this time, but it is usual blog etiquette to do so.

ORIGINAL
Liberal Party blogger, Andrew Landeryou, is running a non-story criticising Stephen Mayne for breaching the AJA's code of ethics.

How does Landeryou's criticisms stack up with his own significant breaches of the code? Landeryou's history with the AJA is recorded here and here.

Andrew Landeryou has an excuse?

"ONE of the difficulties with being born into a well-off and successful family as a product of prominent and talented parents is that the only way you can really go is down."

Perhaps Andrew has an excuse afterall? Or does he?

Maybe it's a result from Landeryou hearing voices! Not content with inventing people such as Freedom Freddy (which is an infringement of international copyright, it also infringes on the Australian and US Free Trade Agreement) Landeryou is now forced to have conversations with himself: Andy 2 responds to Andy 1.

Anyway, on equally disturbing news, The Australian records Landeryou as a 'Liberal blogger'.
