A labor party fund raiser is government business?

That's a little rich.

Shadow Minister you know do you not? you are pathetic.
You just have to be a SM no one else could throw so much mud based on so little.
It could start the longest thread in OLO history trying to unmask those who in fact are.
My guess Julie Bishop.
This you can be sure of an election will not be won in this country b y mud , lies, or silliness.
Now just try this, sit quietly for a second, look at your leaders polling, no keep your eyes of his back plenty of others are doing that.
Those who dislike him out numbered Kevin even at the end.
Maybe its the negative rubbish like this that made it so.
A policy of using such as this is an insult to Australian voters soon too soon for your mob you will see it hurt more than helped you.

AGiR - screw you, I've got da power now

Yes reminds me of that little ditti, sung to the tune of “le international” (aka the lefties anthem)
Which starts
‘The working class can kiss my a$$
I’ve got the foreman’s job at last”

It seems to me the capacity for Ms Gizzard to simultaneously deal with the plight of working families and squander money on BER whilst swanning around in a RAAF aeroplane must be one of those multi-tasking female things.

Mr Belly regarding - This you can be sure of an election will not be won in this country b y mud , lies, or silliness.

But that is how Mr Rudd managed to sneak into power, certainly the lies and the silliness

SM,

Now you're being Absolutely ridiculous.
Where were you when Howard refused to live in Canberra and cost the Australian tax payer $millions per year extra.

You are simply politically campaigning! Hypercritical bottom of the barrel stuff

It was probably a case of ignorance rather than intentional misuse - no new PM whether ALP or Coalition is going to take liberties like that so new into the job.

Do we know what the regulations are in relation to the use of the PM's jet?

You would be surprised at how much pollies are not aware of in regard to the guidelines to entitlements - often having to be told ever so politiely.

Most of the time it is a misunderstanding and monies repaid. It happens on both sides of politics and inbetween.

I suspect if JG was found to have inadvertently done the wrong thing she apologise and know better in future.

This is very different to Howard using taxpayers money to communte from Sydney to Canberra to do his job while at the same time telling the long term unemployed early in his PMship that they may have to move for work. I was always amazed that the Australian population let him get away with that, probably due to a misplaced hatred of all things 'Canberra'. Imagine if Bush or Obama declared they were not going to reside in the White House.

pelican,

Oh don't worry, I hated having the Rodent at Kirribilli. I was foaming at the mouth over that one.

I do believe though that the Howard Haters were onto the rodent over stuff like this all the time, but there is always some excuse when one of their own is involved.
