By Don Aitkin, published 11/10/2013If I had advice for the Prime Minister, it might be that he point out to his team the dreadful cost to the Labor Party of the Peter Slipper business, the Craig Thomson business, and even the Julia Gillard business.

And furthermore....
http://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-10-17/call-for-randall-to-resign/5029032 "WA Liberal MP Rob Johnson has called on his federal colleague Don Randall to resign or be sacked over his travel claims." Posted by Poirot, Thursday, 17 October 2013 2:31:35 PM

P,
I find your logic in condemning Abbott for bringing attention to aboriginal schooling, and organizing business funding for the same schools, yet say nothing when Juliar and Dudd spend vastly more on pure Photo ops. I meet your Don Randall and raise you one Michael Williamson who at the time of being ALP president defrauded the lowest paid workers of over $1m. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-10-15/ex-hsu-union-boss-williamson-admits-fraud-offences/5022842 Or Craig Thomson Labor MP defrauding the same by paying for prostitutes.

SM,
http://m.canberratimes.com.au/federal-politics/political-news/pm-wont-act-on-doubtful-claims-20131016-2vn3u.html Some one on twitter suggested they should call it the "Pinchin Protocol"... Very apt. Posted by Poirot, Friday, 18 October 2013 2:29:25 PM

Considering the hundreds of $bns of taxpayers money that labor has squandered Labor has a dirt campaign to dredge through the last decade of records of only Lib spending to see if they could come up with something that sounds dubious.
It was good that Mark Dufus got hoisted on his own petard. Considering that it is Labor's Speaker that is being charged with criminal activity, they should hang their heads in shame. Posted by Shadow Minister, Saturday, 19 October 2013 4:36:56 PM

".....That the one or two weeks a year is not necessarily in one continuous stretch is the most rational and most probable meaning."
Well, that is shame, because if he undertook his volunteering/promotional visits in one solid stretch, the taxpayer would be spared "repeated" charges for charter flights.
Here's the daily update - Don Randall:
http://www.smh.com.au/federal-politics/political-news/don-randall-dodges-questions-over-expense-claims-for-trip-to-cairns-20131016-2vlx1.html
(Quite impressive - even by Coalition standards)
