| Zusammenfassung: | Who planned it? How was it allowed to happen? Who is to blame? And what is the real cost of one of the world's biggest swindles? On the eve of the war in Iraq, Australia's wheat exporter, AWB Ltd - a company once owned and controlled by the Federal government - sent more than 290 million to the brutal regime of Saddam Hussein. It bolstered the tyrant's grip on power and weakened the United Nations sanctions designed to bring him to his knees. The money flowed right up until the day Australian troops were sent to Iraq to fight a bloody war on the streets of Baghdad. The Howard government was repeatedly warned that AWB was up to its neck in corruption but took no action. And when the scandal was finally uncovered, Prime Minister John Howard, Minister for Foreign Affairs Alexander Downer and Trade Minister Mark Vaile denied all knowledge of the scam. A shadow was cast over Australia's reputation in international trade and a billion dollars' worth of business was lost. Caroline Overington's exposé of what really happened is nothing short of engrossing. Thriller-like in style, forensic in research, this is an unflinching account of the AWB scandal and its political aftermath. This is a tale of monumental proportion. Read Kickback and be appalled |
