One term Tony.

Firstly if Hockey and or others have been breaking the law they should face the appropriate consequences. If there is a solid case they should step aside from any role in the government while the issue is investigated and finalised.

On a slightly different matter those with an interest in something other than entirely partisan politics might like to have a look at the approach a couple of posters who have already posted here took to the presumption of innocense on the Craig Thompson issue. http://forum.onlineopinion.com.au/index-general.asp I suspect a number of posters will exhibit a similar about face on the issue of presumption of innocense on this issue.

God you lot!

You are really desperate to find someone in the government as lying, immoral, incompetent, spendthrift, or in any way a s hopeless as labor.

You won't do it legitimately, but you are going to keep it up.

I can almost feel sorry for you.

RObert,

Would you mind checking that link?

With thanks, I am interested.

See what Hasbeen just wrote, and say he doesn't live under a cabbage.
Abbott has defended twice so far and he will get his turn. Hockey is said to be a treasurer for hire, which is unbelievable. But the extent of corruption involved is gigantic, our resident followers can see no wrong. You have to be extraordinary to let such dealings blow over.

Onthebeach, not sure how that happened. Start here and read through some posts. http://forum.onlineopinion.com.au/thread.asp?discussion=5069#136212

None of that is to suggest that if true the allegations against Hockey are nothing to worry about. Rather highlighting the double standards some seem to thrive on.

It should not matter which side of politics is involved, the rules and levels of accountability should be the same.
