    Posted: 15 Jun 2020 at 2:07pm

A battle over who scores a big payday from the estate of prominent Sydney barrister David Rofe QC is headed for a showdown in the NSW Supreme Court as more than a dozen people named to receive inheritances, including former union chief Kathy Jackson, squabble over assets worth $30m when the elderly dementia patient died.

Ms Jackson is not one of the official parties bringing the inheritance battle to court but she has been active behind the scenes, back in the race after previously appearing to forgo interest in her inheritance of 10 per cent or $3m from Rofe’s last will, signed in December 2014.

At the time of Rofe’s death in July 2017, Ms Jackson was a bankrupt and money she might have received then from the last will would have been claimed by her appointed trustee for her main creditor, the Health Services Union.Wink

The HSU, claiming a debt of $2.4m from Ms Jackson, sat in her place during failed mediation and was offered $300,000 in one settlement proposal.

Ms Jackson, who briefly earned fame as a corruption whistleblower, is now out of three years in bankruptcy and supporting the validity of Rofe’s last will, which gives her the 10 per cent stake. This will is disputed by some Rofe family members, close friends and others.

Ms Jackson met Rofe in May 2012 — almost two years after he was diagnosed with dementia — and developed a “close friendship” with the elderly barrister. Within two years, she became one of the biggest beneficiaries in his last wills.

All up, there are about 40 Rofe wills. Two were written before Rofe’s dementia diagnosis when some claim he was still of sound mind. The rest followed over the next four years as his health deteriorated, with some alleging he possibly did not know what he was signing.

Many wills written after 2010 show different, sometimes new beneficiaries with increasingly higher inheritances allotted to them, while shares for others are diminished or deleted.

To those who have selective memories you might recall a little about Kathy Jackson, she was the national secretary of the Health Services Union of Australia (HSU) between January 2008 and February 2015. In August 2015, Jackson was found by the Australian federal court to have misappropriated union funds and was ordered to repay $1.4 million in compensation.

If I had any money I would have my wills witnessed by a psychiatrist and a psychologist, after satisfying them both of my competence.

AA, do you own a house, have any superannuation? Unless you have reverse mortgage and blow all the proceeds you might leave nothing, but generally there is a little shrapnel left over of most homeowners.

By naming this thread it "Back in the Picture" attracts one attention, whereas to name it "Kathy Jackson", would be old hat, as we all know what she was up to in the past.

I look forward to a phalanx of new threads detailing will challenges given they number in their thousands each and every year.

Though you won't find Bob starting ones where conservative figures are involved, because they won't be found in The Australian where he discovered this absolute dross.

Yes, she is the same woman who pulled the wool over both sides of politics. Christopher Pyne, possibly the worst Liberal ever to be given a government portfolio, called her heroic and maybe other Liberals  should have smelt a rat with his endorsement.

Bob, I invite you to explain exactly why Christopher Pyne is the worst Liberal to be given a government portfolio.

ps: 27 years in parliament, four Ministerial appointments, one assistant Minister appointment, Leader of the House, Manager of Opposition Business in the House.  Under no less than four Coalition Prime Ministers.

By the time he had been shuffled around various portfolios by different PMs he finished up as Turnbull's lackey. He has cost the nation billions signing up to those French submarines. Pyne's embarrassing gaffes over the years lead him to be considered, by those of the right of politics, to be a bit of a buffoon and a liability rather than an asset.

Total bullsh*t.  

ps no 1: three senior portfolios doesn't suggest "shuffling around".

ps no 2: the Coalition Cabinet signed off on the French sub deal, so presumably they're all sweethearts also?  

ps No 3: what are the "alleged gaffes" you refer to?

ps No 4: on what basis do you consider Pyne a Turnbull lackey, apart from the fact he gave the country's Prime Minister his support?

The TBV world awaits.  Tick, tick, tick.

I doubt our Kathy Jackson has done rounds a much as Kate Jackson going by Wikipedia....

"Jackson lived with, and was engaged to, actor Edward Albert in the mid-1970s. She was then linked romantically to producer Robert Evans, stuntman Gary Quist and actors Dirk Benedict, Nick Nolte and Warren Beatty ( did he miss any actress ? )] After a six-month courtship, Jackson married actor Andrew Stevens in August 1978. The couple divorced in 1981. After her divorce from Stevens.  Jackson was then linked with actor Gary Pendergast and screenwriter Tom Mankiewicz She then married New York businessman David Greenwald in 1982, the couple divorced in 1984.

After the divorce, Jackson was frequently seen with dermatologist Arnold Klein. While recovering from her second bout with breast cancer and on vacation , Jackson met Tom Hart, the owner of a Utah ski lodge, and the pair married in 1991.. Jackson and Hart divorced in 1993.

Goodness gracious, what rubbish form Baghdad Bob.  

Where did Pyne suggest Julie should remain as PM for 10 years when she never was, apart from in a brief acting position?  Tick, tick, tick.

And if she had been, why not?  Your typical Liberal misogyny at work again.

And he allegedly "Didn't  not know the difference between Facebook and Facetube". F*ck me dead that's a dead-set hanging offence for a four-times Minister.  Not.

 ps have you been assessed for dementia apart from crass stupidity Bob?
