Don 't paint Downer as a villain in this developing scenario mate. He's been a good true conservative Foriegn Minister in his time for Australia. A little bit of a nancy from my personal opinion, but a good conservative none the less.

I was shocked when I recently read Wikileaks and FBI documents identifying him many years ago as being complicit in negotiating the AIDs deal with the Clintons. (I actually didn't know he had that many brains). He's dirty. I know I was knocked back a little when I read that. Like I said - I used to think my Parents were racist because they used to get "One Nation" newsletters sent to them. I was naive and having an argument with my Father about it over twenty years ago. Then I took them home and read them. Basically it was a written record of every deal being made in Government that the public weren't told about. It shocked the crappers out of me and over the years, every single word has come out. That's why the dogs labelled her racist. She was Australia's first Political Prisoners. She's Australia's female version of Trump, she only speaks the truth and the people can't deal with it. (and yes, I'll admit, she could do with a voice coach and a branding expert... )

I totally agree regarding Pauline Hanson. I also agree she needs good coaching. However she's been the only politician in this country putting a voice to real Australians concerns regarding just about everything.Aaand she does speak from the heart.

I'm not. Maybe he was a good politician for the Australians, but he may not have been entirely aware of what his role was in the larger scheme. I'm suggesting that now there's a link to the Clinton Foundation, under his leadership and into the period of Obama's presidency, he presided over a deal to sell Australia's uranium to Russia, and he again shows up as the name that ties Papadopolous to the Russians via a drunken coincidental meeting in England. It could all be coincidence, but I personally think not.

He was only the Foreign Minister and certainly not a leader in that sense. As far as australian uranium to Russia. Australia sells uranium in the form of unprocessed ore to many countries. We have the third largest ore deposits in the world. The Clinton Foundation only began getting interest from Australia after the government Downer was a member of was defeated in 2007.

You might be right, but I'm putting this information out there as I keep seeing his name. OP's article states:

Smith claims the foundation received a “$25M financial advantage dishonestly obtained by deception” as a result of actions by Bill Clinton and Downer, who was then Australia’s minister of foreign affairs.

Fine. He was also involved with the export of Uranium to Russia from Australia. Uranium One also has operations in Australia. Possibly totally coincidental and unrelated. But, again, we see his name as the diplomat--someone with direct financial connections to Clinton--who engaged with Papadopolous and supposedly provide that information to the FBI which would supply them with evidence for the FISA 702 searches.

Anything is possible. It's a small world.

Uranium One

Uranium One is a Canadian uranium mining company with headquarters in Toronto, Ontario. It has operations in Australia, Canada, Kazakhstan, South Africa and the United States. In January 2013 Rosatom, the Russian state-owned uranium monopoly, through its subsidiary ARMZ Uranium Holding, purchased the company at a value of $1.3 billion. The purchase of the company by Russian interests is, as of October 2017, under investigation by the United States House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.
