<Sovereign Borders commander Lieutenant-General Angus Campbell took "extreme offence" when opposition defence spokesman Senator Stephen Conroy accused him of participating in a "political cover-up" at a Senate estimates hearing this week>

Conroy's outrageous allegation was later withdrawn but he has refused to apologise.

They call the parliament, 'Coward's Castle'.

Foxy sorry but while I greatly value your contributions I disagree totally.
Conroy is both a thug and a mug.
At best.
He constantly damages my party by his rat bag insulting out bursts, *he had every right to question this governments actions*
*And no right to cast a slur on that man, who does only what ordered to.
A straw poll taken on any street would give the same answer.
Few truly know, even care to know, the part he and his then partner in Victorian right wing Labor played in dumping Rudd.
That action bought about Labors defeat.
He seeming to be the kid who owned the bat stormed off overseas and took no part in the election *what is such a traitor doing in the ALP?*
Shorten now leads his reward for axing Rudd then Gillard, Conroy retains his place in shadow cabinet why? he damages my p[arty.
In time he will be given a plum job and leave hope it is soon.
And as the right is all powerful he may even show his true wants, power at any price and take a job working against Labors interests.
Labor stands challenged it is time to reconsider what role we want to play, best ever opposition forever or renew and refocus.
A refocused ALP will not be owned or controlled by idiots like Conroy or hopefully the right.
I watch Shorten for the brilliance I know he has to emerge but too watch over his shoulder for his long term replacement Howes?
I would like to see that.

Dear Belly,

As I stated earlier - I don't know Mr Conroy
so I can't comment on his character or personal
attributes. However, I do believe that Mr Conroy
was not targeting General Angus Campbell but was
looking for answers which he was entitled to do.
Mr Conroy's comments may have been impolite -
but the thrust of his questions were not unexpected
and the General should have been prepared for them
especially as a human death had occurred.

Once again, the following link that I gave earlier
explains the situation rather well:

SM,

I stopped reading after "Juliar."

Foxy,

You are in denial. Here is Conroy's statement and in your approved Sydney Morning Herald newspaper, read it,

http://www.smh.com.au/federal-politics/political-news/cant-we-handle-the-truth-conroy-accuses-campbell-of-camp-coverup-20140225-33fsv.html

The remarks were withdrawn but no apology was offered. Coward's Castle. Disgusting.

Foxy I wish it was true and wish too that the public thought it was.
The good old Canberra Times is as unbiased as Pravda.
Having watched the man,saw his words and actions may I remind those Pravda/Times journalists Fox News does it better?

Again we [Labor] must look toward those we wish to vote for us not those Conroy was playing to.
Larakin,s once bought joy and laughter to our side.
Conroy is no larakin just a dill with too much power and too little common sense.
