We will hear a lot more about the boats this week.
Abbott will order it to take our eyes away from the long list repaying their miss used travel allowances.

Worth a thought, if it was ALP members this forum would be lambasting us endlessly.
And Murdock the Demented Dwarfs press would be comparing it too Obeid.
Funny game politics.

Foxy,
this would have to be your cheapest post yet.

Poirot, Foxy,

More importantly do you have a link as to what was served Barney and the bunch at the wedding feast, was the chamfers French! Oh heaven forbid if it was domestic. You would think having the snout in the trough at the big nosh up would have been enough. Not so, needed to squeeze the taxpayer as well.
See Rip Off Tony had to pay it back once again.
SM, are you discussed with this Coalition thieving from the taxpayers?

Foxy,
I have no qualms raving on about ex PM's keep. It's way to much. Let's see who is on the keep list Whitlam is the longest, then Frazer, Hawke Keatinge, Howard, Rudd, Gillard & So, there are two Conservatives & five Labor. Is McMahon still kicking ? So, where does the bulk of PM money go ?

Indi asked, "So, where does the bulk of PM money go?"
The Answer; On Tony Boloney trying to flog his crappy old book at taxpayers expense.

Indi, you would not have any qualms about keeping a great Australian statesman such as Gough Whitlam $1 million a year would be nothing compared to the great Australian asset we have in the living treasure Gough. some of these ex PM's are also worth keeping,
Although, I know you are most likely livid at spending a penny on Howard but that them the breaks, pay for one pay for all.
p/s Billy Big Ears pass on in 1988, your well behind the times, what year is it up where you are?
