Let’s examine one ex-MP and let’s treat him as being the epitome of the vileness that goes with being an MP. Our MP was happily married with a young family. He attended those boring party fund-raisers where he had the misfortune to rub shoulders with the canaille. But our MP had a deep secret. He was playing hide the sausage with one of his office staff. That affair ended but a new one blossomed, also with a member of his office staff. One spurned lover would surely break the practice of omerta so it’s a safe bet to say that the MP’s affairs were the subject of tittle-tattle.
When the MP was in Canberra and claiming T/A he did on occasions drive to his lover’s flat in East Sydney, a course of action which saw him bypass his family home in inner Sydney. What a cad. Once inside her flat the MP would get his meter running while at the same time the good old taxpayers’ meter was running. When caught what did his colleagues do? They rallied around him and the old trope of ‘serving the public’ and being above base behaviour was replaced with Canberra sometimes causes the strong to succumb to carnal vices.
Under examination in court the MP’s barrister introduced us to a broken man, a blathering wreck whose only functioning bodily organ was his penis. How do those afflicted with such a disease treat it? We all know how; you feed the condition with taxpayers’ money. This novel treatment has yet to gain acceptance in the medical field but we remain vigilant and read the “Lancet” from cover to cover.
MPs have conditioned us to accept vile and base behaviour so any adoption of civilised manners would need a full explanation as to why they weren’t in operation in the first place.
Name calling and abuse are badges of honour for politicians.
