SM,

And I note that you don't see any hypocrisy in Slipper being up on charges, while many Coalition members have been undertaking a rortathon?

Don Randall is allowed to pay back his $5,000 odd claim - no explanation - zilch.

You appear to believe that's all above board.

Says just as much about you as it does about them.

There is a problem for all of us because
we simply can't as a nation thrive
when a significant portion of those in
power are in denial about reality, whether it
is about the facts of climate change, the worth
of women, the ethnic composition of our population,
or the behaviour of our MPs:

P,

Slipper is not up on charges for claiming outside the scope of the entitlements, he is charged for fraud along the lines of Thomson, Williamson, Obied, and many other Labor crooks.

SM,

Your comments get more amusing as you go along.

Joyce is flown to a wedding in India. In order to claim expenses for the return trip, he appears to have confected a 1 day " study period" in Malaysia filled with information easily sourced from the net.

Randall's claims are tres suspect and deserve as much investigation as Abbott'S "Battlines'" effort.

And that's only two of the parties that inhabit the Coalition's "good times" group.

I note you're displaying the same level of integrity in your defence of such behaviour.

Lexi,

You are really grasping at straws. Joyce has combined his trip to India with a study trip to Malaysia. Therefore it must be made up? Prove it.

That most of his information from Malaysia can be obtained from the net is true of every study trip, and is not the point. Perhaps the G20 summit could be conducted over the net, and all political travel could be curtailed with MPs just using Google.

What idiocy.

What of the more than $2m Dudd spent on travel in 2009?

I also notice you have no answer for Labor's speaker Slipper falsifying documents.

SM,

A one day "study period" which just happens to coincide with Joyce's return from the wedding in India - and enables him to claim travel expenses for the trip home.

Nice work if you can get it.

Ho, ho,ho,ho......
