THE controversial property career of Julia Gillard's partner, Tim Mathieson, is in serious doubt as the couple face the possibility of a fishbowl life in the Lodge in Canberra.
Senior Labor and business sources say it is unlikely Mr Mathieson will continue to act as a sales consultant with high-profile Melbourne developer and ALP benefactor Albert Dadon if Labor is victorious on Saturday.
A growing consensus in Labor and government is that it would be untenable for the Prime Minister to have a partner in property development - especially one working for a developer who raises funds for Labor and is dependent on state Labor government planning approvals.

Again, I think it's clear both sides of politics have their campaign donors, though does anyone know if Tony Abbotts immediate family work for Murdoch Press, the same way no less than one of ALP's massive developing giants both fund their political campaigns this and employ ALP's PM's relatives, de-facto or otherwise?

I wonder if The Rudds will be $spending$ this New Years Eve with their campaign donors and friends the 'Dadons', the way they did last year?
