Did anyone watch - "The Insiders," this morning?
Interesting take on so many things with so much
speculation from all sides. Is Rudd coming back?
Yes, No, Maybe. Ferocious time in the last Parliamentary
Session - and worse to come when Parliament resumes -
undoubtedly. But why the fuss over Peter Slipper by
the Coalition? Good Question. The time to get rid of
him was surely prior to his being appointed as Deputy
Speaker - seems a bit late whinging about it now.
As for what he did in the past? No one really seems to
give a toss - it's on his future actions that he'll be
judged.

Yes, interesting times ahead!

Belly, his own party had already disendorsed him as a candidate. The ALP put him in control of the Parliament.

No second prizes given, If they knew about alleged misappropriation, and said nothing while he was on their side, toni has got to take the blame, and dismiss himself. The penalty for knowing and not doing anything about it, should be jail. That has probably affected parliamentary voting business. That is fraud.

579,

Abbott moved to exclude Slipper and initiated proceedings against him for allowances abuse

So Juliar covered up Craig Thomson's fraud and expressed "full confidence" even though his crimes were in the newspapers. By your Logic Juliar should be Jailia.

All to late mate. Not one word to the media. Toni only moved when the rumors were confirmed, and he lost a vote. If it weren't for the shift he would still be there, right. Toni was not about to dispense with a vote and give Julia a majority. Only a rat-bag would think otherwise.
So lets hear it for Toni, and SM of course.

Yes belly, this profiteering from wages is a real problem, and one that seems to fly under the radar.

It happens in councils, as well as state and federal governments.

So much for privatization hey

It also happens in the mines, I know a guy who pays his 20odd electricians $85 per hour, yet charges them to the mines at $110.

As for casuals, well, they actually cost more than perm workers.

As for wages, well I will agree to disagree.

Welfare is governments responsibility, not businesses,especially when they to are doing it tough.

Most small busimesses make less today than they did ten years ago.
