I am trying to remember Juliar's excuse for spending $140 000 using the PM jet to go to a wedding at about the same time.

Oh that's right she just shrugged it off and did not pay back a dime.

It's amazing isn't it what they can with a clear conscience count as free, all-expenses-paid
"study" trips.
Foxy,
isn't it amazing how now that a Liberal did wrong you mount your moral high-horse. Yet you never once admitted over my many hints at the massive rorting that is still going on amongst the ALP bureaucrats in the public service. I witness these dreadful rorts on a daily basis & where I live they're all done by ALP supporting bureaucrats. But that's not something that's playing on your conscience now its it ?
A few threads back i advised one of our regular posters to position himself at Cairns Arport for week to see for himself. I have yet to get a reply from him on that very subject. Admittedly he too is an ALP supporter so I won't hold my breath. I'm sure you'll dig up one of your phoney links shortly telling us it isn't happening.

SM,

"Don't Minchin the Rorts"

(Lol!)

As per the biblical quote:

Before you start pointing out the splinter in the eyes of others, one should take the plank out of their own eye!

Dear Individual,

You've got a selective memory.
Your stance on academics, public servants,
(and any body else you've taken exception to)
have all been argued on this forum ad nauseum.
You need to find another axe to grind.

I've brought up how much it costs us to keep
our former PM's living in the style in which
they've become accustomed. John Howard being
the highest costing. And I've also
brought up the subject of the salaries of
our Federal pollies. They're not being paid
peanuts - the current residents of the
Parliament Zoo cost us hundreds of thousands of
dollars per bag. And we can't get a refund for
3 years.

And as for the free, all-expenses "study" trips.
And rorting. It does need to be pointed out that
the current government while in Opposition
pursued and finger-pointed at everyone they could,
they have a great deal to answer for themselves.
As members of their current frontbench had illustrated.
Especially the new Attorney-General who's also
responsible for drafting a Ministerial Code of Conduct.
Not a good look.

Dear Shadow Minister,

Before you start trying to do anything with
splinters - it's a good idea to make sure
your hands are clean!
