I wonder why Mr James Hunter Ashby did not report
Mr Slipper to the proper authorities sooner if he
found the man's alleged actions so offensive?

In the David Jones case - the woman had gone to
David Jones Department Heads - and reported the matter.
Also - why would you in this case - stay on in the job and collect
texts - unless you had another agenda. It sounds
like there's more to this than meets the eye.

I've also Googled - James Hunter Ashby and it appears
that he's not new to controversy.

NB, you must be very nieve to think that this, the largest carbon tax in the world, will simply, slip in, un noticed.

On top of this tax, the desiel rebates for truckies and farmers is set to go, 19c per litre may not sound like much, but when one has a fuel bill of $20,000 per month, that's going to hurt, real bad.

You supporters of this carbon tax live in a dilutional state of mind, as it will hurt, and hurt bad.

Your lot also suggested the new IR laws would have little to no negative effect, well hello!

As for the slipper issue, I offer no opinion on whether he's gilty or not, but what I do know is that this government is in tatters and we need an election to get some stability.

Now if Julia and your beloved labor party ar so good at what they do, then what's all the fuss about. Or perhaps your just in dinal, as you know that they have lost their way.

Blind Freddie knows that this hung parliament is a farce. No matter who is in power.

That's why we need an election now.

Dear rehctub,

NO - WE don't need an election now.

The Opposition does!

And they will use whatever weapons they can
to achieve that end.

Hopefully the PM will not fall for it and will
simply get on with the job of governing.

...Slipper should continue to keep his slippers under his wife's bed. The problem with this country is rampant homosexuality, Slipper is poised to reinforce that theory by example!

Lexi,

I never said Slipper had joined the labor party, just that he had joined Labor. As he is Speaker he is technically not an independent, as he has forfeited the right to vote on behalf of the government, and does not sit on the cross benches.

Sexual harassment is a civil matter not criminal, and Ashby has taken the appropriate action. Does an indiscretion a decade ago void his right to justice?

This like the Thomson case stinks to high heaven, and a PM with an ounce of integrity would not have him sitting in one of the highest offices in parliament on behalf of Labor.

This is going to taint Labor for decades. A fresh election would be the honourable thing, but as we all know Juliar does not have a shred of integrity, and believes in power at any cost.

Oakshott and Windsors idea of fair, open and accountable Government. Tick tick tick. Seems like only 579, Lexi and two more people in Australia believe that this disgusting Government is doing well. Even Belly has a little balance.
