FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
THE wife of LNP leader Campbell Newman helped set up a company that began touting for disaster recovery business from the Bligh government just over a week after the Brisbane floods.
As Mr Newman faces mounting pressure to make a declaration to the parliament’s pecuniary interest register, despite not being an MP, it has emerged that Lisa Newman was involved in the creation and ownership of a company trying to sell disaster management expertise and IT software.
Headed by Mrs Newman’s brother Seb Monsour, the company was registered on January 21, a day after first offering its services to the government in assisting with the recovery from the January 12 floods.
The company, initially registered as Invictus Solutions but now trading as Majella Global Technologies Asia Pacific, has not won any Queensland government work.
An email obtained by The Australian shows that Mr Monsour wrote on January 20 to John Bradley, then director-general of the Department of Environment and Resource Management, boasting that his company’s products had been used after Hurricane Katrina and the Haiti earthquake. “We are the Asia Pacific representatives of Global Relief Technologies . . . we simply belief (sic) our product can provide immediate benefit in the support of the recovery efforts in Queensland,” he wrote.

Mrs Newman was company secretary during the set up of Invictus Solutions, resigning several weeks later. She remains a director of the company’s major shareholder, Frank Monsour Family Investments, headed by her father, a surgeon.
Mr Newman, who last made a public disclosure of his and his wife’s financial interests in April, has accused Labor of playing dirty politics and refused to bow to the Bligh government demand that he make a declaration on the parliament’s pecuniary interests register.
In a statement, Mr Newman last night said his wife was not a financial beneficiary of the new company. “Lisa Newman receives no income and has no financial interest in the operations of the disaster management offering.
“This shameless Labor government has no plan for the future, just a plan to denigrate my wife and family in an attempt to cling to power.”
Queensland Treasurer Andrew Fraser said the corporate involvement of Mr Newman’s wife in the venture gave further cause for the LNP leader, who is leading the opposition from outside parliament, to make a full disclosure on the register.
