Belly,
I didn't use both names as an insult. Foxy was Lexi's previous OLO name. That's the only reason I used both names.
The point here was not about Thomson, but Slipper who is being treated in accordance with Labour's FWA - i.e. guilty till proven innocent.
Lexi doesn't appear to be prepared to address that fact.

Leave me out of your posts, you asked me to do that.
Belly,
Yes I did that but your Abbottphobia (thanks for the term runner) is just getting beyond ridiculous. it's bordering on the stupid.

Perhaps I didn't make myself clear regarding
Mr Slipper. I may have posted this on another
thread so here goes again:

A widespread fallacy is advanced that the government
"installed" Mr Slipper. He was already the deputy
speaker and was elected by the floor of the House,
including by Labor, three Independents, and a Green.
Mr Slipper occupied a position constitutionally and
administratively separate from the executive. But
as I stated earlier - why worry about constituional
niceties when there's the possibility of blood on
the floor.

And as I said earlier - the current government is
governing constitutionally, supported by a majority of
the representatives voted in by the Australian people
and the speaker has so far no been found guilty of
anything.

I wonder if the shoe was on the other foot - if this
was a Liberal MP - would there be such a fuss?
Or would this case barely get a mention in the press -
whatever happened to the charges of shop-lifting against
the female Liberal MP? Did she have to step down?
Was she found to be guilty - until proven innocent?
Or were the charges simply - what's the word
I'm looking for - ah yes - "forgotten."

was a Liberal MP - would there be such a fuss?
Lexi,
It would be a thousand times worse than Abbottphobia is now. You lot would be incessant.
Sadly we have to accept that a lot of higher offices are occupied by those batting for the other team. It is the single most influencing factor in things not getting better.

Lexi the liberal senators case was tried, from memory guilty of the assault without aconviction recorded but not guilty of the shoplifting. She was suffering depression at the time and reportedly suffered a panic attact after being detained by store security and tried to leave after initially cooperating, the assault seems to be a result of resisting being detained.

Libs made it clear they wanted the matter dealt with quickly, no long stalling processes.

A very different scenario to Labors handling of more topical issues.

A new era in politics, the door is wide open for trumped up allegations.
We could find by the time comes to vote there won't be any politicians left.
Abbott gaged the fat fellows mumblings about, his version of an economy.
The absolute desperation of going to the polls with-out any policies.
Abbott has not won a round yet.
Julia has out foxed him every time.
When the popularity contest is over and people weigh up some policies Abbott will be stumbling around like a drunken sailor.
