I have lobbied for that company, will continue to do so.
See in part I look after its workers.
This is a jobs drought area we need the work.
I bet, yes willingly, the ex Deputy Prime Minister, when he held the seat lobbied for them too.
After all do we not expect our local member to think and act locally?
Go Rob you good thing!

Belly,

Were you paid to lobby for them, or did you do so of your own volition. It makes a difference as to how seriously you are taken.

This scandal is not only bad for RO, but also for the company concerned, as any tender board looks on any inference of impropriety with a jaundiced eye.

Shadow do not picture a huge company, it is not one.
Do not picture a nice friendly bloke running it, he may be to Rob but not to most.
About 30 not one more work there, he has another not related business that is about the same size.
Now we need to know, Oakshot is highly regarded in his electorate.
And you can imagine many donating to his re election, trucks still proudly have his name on the sides around there.
It stretches reality to find corruption in this, Ute gate comes to mind.
What is it about Oakshot?
He sided with the ALP, if it had of been different Abbott would be most indignant about this story.
Rob you good thing go for it.
I get paid to support local firms, the smile on the face of a person who now has a job after not having one is greater than cash.

Shadow Minister, basically you are directly accusing Rob Oakshott of corruption.
You have not presented one shred of proof that corruption took place. You have presented a tabloid article that was published in a coalition supporting tabloid that has made unproven insinuations.

Where is your proof?

Put up, or shut up.

In debating SM Tboy you must learn a lesson I did.
You will change nothing by confrontation or even saying it like it is.
Let facts speak, you are in the company of our Federal opposition.
For every day of my life a reasonably long one we asked our local members to lobby for us.
Country party as it was before becoming a Liberals tea making servant was king here.
As the Nationals they serve miners and just maybe farmers some times.
Liberal, Labor, we all know and understand pork barreling, white boards and such.
Rob Oakshot, has done nothing wrong, nothing you I and Shadow Minister know that.
You need to know giving air to the confrontation for confrontation sake conservatives is not worth the effort.
Let truth rebut for you.
Remember to infer a politician breaks trust by excepting funding from a local business man who he trys to help get work is to call every one in the house a criminal.

Rob Oakeshott for sale ? Not anymore ! He's past his use by date. He won't even make it to a garage sale now but there might be some crank collector with a twisted sense of humour on Ebay.
