It remains difficult for some to come to terms with the results of the election.
onthebeach,
Those with some sense don't have that problem & those who do will always have a problem no matter what.

Abbotts gay sister Christine Forester has announced her engagement to her partner Virginia Edwards. Unfortunately due to big brother Tony's loathing for gay marriage the couple may have to go to New Zealand or even France to tie the knot. The big question would be, will Tony and a plane load of cronies fly in for the nuptials, naturally at taxpayers expense.
Laugh at this one, Liberal John Alexander and a family member made a taxpayer funded trip to of all places Margaret River in remote WA for 6 nights to "study" traffic congestion. Alexander is the Liberal member for Howard's old seat of Bennelong in Sydney. Do these Coalition MP's think taxpayers are mugs when it comes to this snouts in the trough affair.

Lol Paul1405 :)
I go to Margaret River regularly for work, and it is about the least traffic congested place that I go to!
If the pollie went there to study more economic ways to grow grapevines , make wine, or for tourism reasons, I might think that could be ok, but not traffic congestion.

He would surely have to pay that money back? What a rort!

As for Tony's sister marrying her girlfriend, if he had any guts at all, he would stand behind his party line (and his religious scruples) and refuse to attend such a sinful 'marriage'.
Either way, I would certainly not expect any tax-payer funds being spent on any pollies wedding, let alone their family or friend's weddings.

"It remains difficult for some to come to terms with the results of the election".

Do you mean like Abbott a few years ago?

otb,

""It remains difficult for some to come to terms with the results of the election"."

On the contrary, it's turning out to be a constant source of hilarity - from Tones taking all his photo ops dressed in a firey's costume, to unfolding saga of rorter's heaven....and to top it off Mr Bugdet Emergency, Eleventy Joe, today launched his new book titled, " Debt Ceilings for Dummies" (or "That's Not a Debt limit - This is a Debt Limit")

For all those who miss the Coalition's BS - here's a walk down memory lane:

What the bookies say about Bill Shorten's chances of surviving to the next election? OK, that is too far in the future to get any odds at all. What about his chances of surviving to the end of next year? Short odds?

In photos together, Tanya Plibersek is already giving Shorten 'that' look, the calculating, narrow-eyed one - stink eyes in Left parlance- that Julia Whatshername used on Kevin Rudd.

The photo in this article is one example of many,

Asbestos pants and knee pads, Bill!
