For all you left whinger amnesiacs:

The Labor MPs were just as bad at pushing the limits on expenses, and,

Expenses claims are submitted with the correct paperwork to finance. If after reviewing the paperwork, Finance decides that the claim does not meet the requirements, the MP involved can repay the money with no penalty.

What Slipper did was essentially deliberately submit falsified documents to Finance to hid the reasons for the expenses. This was fraud which is why he was charged and found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

P.S. Did you read the article on Krudd spending $100 000 a week on travel expenses?

Dear SM,

Yes we did. And SteeleRedux gave you an excellent
reply to that article.

Try again.

Please don't stop, SM

Your denunciations of Labor - while defending this bumbling cabal of fools called the "Govt", deserves its own show.

(now where's my popcorn:)

Ooops - I meant to say that SteeleRedux gave Rehctub
an excellent reply to that article. You should read it.

Also - you criticise others for using "biased" sources
and yet you persist in using "The Australian" consistently.
A newspaper owned by an American Company, run
by an American citizen - who tells us what to think.
And then you bleat on about the "unfairnesss" of the
"Left whingers," (whoever they may be).

You really deserve our respect!

At least we could save $157,000 + indexed for life per year for his pension.

Foxy,

I assume you are referring to the same "excellent" reply that SR gave which Slipper tried on the Judge in his case. Unsurprisingly it was tossed out for the same reasons I gave above.

The reason that Slipper betrayed the LNP was because he had been dis endorsed for re election for his seat by the LNP precisely because of his repeated abuse of his expense account. And the ALP knew it at the time. But being the party of corruption Juliar was only too happy to have the crooked Slipper join her and the other 40 thieves for a paltry extra 100 000 pieces of silver a year.

I hope he gets a jail sentence, loses his $157k p.a. pension, and joins other ALP crooks in the centrelink queue.

Poirot,

Pot, Kettle. At least the coalition has achieved more in 10 months than Labor did in 6 years.
