Al Grassby

Al Grassby’s dead and some want a memorial in Griffith to commemorate his contribution to multiculturalism. There are others in Griffith who remember his siding with the Mafia in the heated debates of yesteryear about the murder of Donald Bruce McKay, supposedly by the same Mafia and would just as soon have him buried in an unmarked grave under a ton of cement. The story in Griffith, and I visit there regularly, is that McKay is buried under tons of cement at a construction site.
In the 1980s, Grassby claimed to have been given evidence that, in fact, Donald Mackay’s family were implicated in his death. The National Crime Authority investigated and stumbled upon Grassby’s alleged links to a notorious drug dealer and murderer, the late Robert Trimbole.
As a result of his spurious claims about McKay’s death, Grassby was convicted of criminal defamation in 1991. Grassby’s wife remembers;
Grassby was nicknamed the “Ostrich” because of his naivety, in dress and character – he wore loud ties, dyed his hair black and flaunted a floridly grown moustache. As an example, Grassby’s wife once said he had found it difficult to believe homosexuals existed. “He could not understand how it could happen physically, so he thought it was somebody making up stories,” she said.
Now there’s a man in touch with his electorate. In my opinion he was a fool and a peacock, had no intellect to speak of and did irrepairable damage to our society with the polarization effect of his multiculturism. Headstone only. Al Grassby, 1926~2005. Here lies another of Whitlam’s fools. UPDATE: This report in the Herald Sun says it all

  • Tsk! Tsk! So hateful without cause.

  • Tsk, Tsk, Niall, catty expressions of irritation at what Kev has properly said, Grassby was a corrupt rotten little man whose grand vision is nasty squib which has served only to ensure another army of useles hectoring bureaucrats don’t have to get a real job and do wjhat they like best, playing little tin pot dictators and throwing the taxed stuff freel in great bundles to all the fluffy wuffies who live of the multi-cultural scam.

  • Not hate, Naill, but scorn of a little man in all senses of the word. A track record of indefensible ordinaryiness, compounded by a misplaced ego.

  • And an execrable taste in clothes!!!!! What a twirp!!!!! Gorgeous Al Grassby was a shameful man. Mafia connected and a liar to boot.
