Yes, I agree that the NSW Labor government is on the nose and that David Campbell's record as a minister has been woeful. However, while he may have betrayed the trust of his family, that is insufficient reason for him to have resigned.

He's entitled to use his government car for private purposes, the establishment he visited in his own time is quite legal, and it's not illegal to be a closet homosexual.

The comments about the poor quality of the Opposition in NSW and Qld are also valid - mind you, with the antics from the LNP in Qld this week it looks like we'll have an ALP dictatorship for some time yet.

Indeed, the man was at a legal business house, doing what he is allowed to do.

And, hang on a moment, under the National Prayer Day (absolute rubbish because it is only a fundie offshoot of a US scam) our pole dancing PM and our GG have posted messages of support for the small businesses of Australia, the people who keep this nation going.

So, if pole-dancing Rudd and the GG are supporting this gay club, and asking Jim Wallace and Salt Shakers, and Catch The Fire to join them both in prayerful gratitude for legal small businesses like this, that keep the economy going so well, why should this bozzo have to hand in his ticket for going down there?

That transport in NSW is dirty, expensive, poorly run is another matter, and for that he should have done the decent thing, second draw on the left, close the door before you pull the trigger, but that is different to attending a legitimate club.

After all, the same citizens who are 'horrified' at this, go each week to support the drug taking, drink driving, raping, assaulting, salary cap rorting 'sports starts' and think nothing of it.

I wonder if it is a prerequisite to be crooked to join NSW labor?

I think a serious line has been crossed here by Channel 7.

Apparently there were several journalists who already knew about Campbell's habits but chose not to reveal them because they didn't affect his performance (dodgey as it may have been) as a Minister and were not illegal. There are still a number of closetted homosexuals on both sides of the House but nobody's talking about them.

Now he's being also accused of (shock! Horror!)- sending out deceptive Christmas cards and suspected (without any substantiation) of being at "Ken's" during the recent F3 fiasco. He's broken no laws and at this time, we can only assume that his family was completely unaware of his so-called "double life".

There have been many public figures, from billionaires to Prime Ministers who have had all sorts of private dalliances but for some reason, this man was singled out by one part of the media at a most inopportune time politically.

I can only wonder who will be next.

Glad you see it that way Pluckican

//It was a risk and probably not a wise move given his position and his wife's health but it is a personal matter between Mr Campbell and his family.//

His wife is dying of cancer.. and he is out screw**g some bloke.

Yep..nothing wrong with that ... by law......

Good to see your moral conscience is hard at work, guiding you through the maze of relativity out there.

Hope you share the same emotional neutrality when some bloke does your own wife (or husband). After all..it's not "illegal" is it?

It might have been better if Dave the Devo (new name) had gone next door to Peters of Kensington and bought the cheese and kisses a new frying pan, to belt him over the head with. "COOK THE MAN SOME F@#&ING EGGS!" So said Jake Heke. LOL.
