P,

How many meetings are required? By the time there is an interview, the credentials have already been ascertained, and the interview is to determine the fitness of the person to represent the college. My son had only one interview, as do most scholarship recipients.

FA as an adult got a scholarship (i.e. a reduction in fees) to attend an academic institution. Where on earth is there a requirement for anyone to declare the interests of their adult offspring. Only in the mind of left whingers.

".....Where on earth is there a requirement for anyone to declare the interests of their adult offspring...."

In that case, perhaps you should tell Tones. He's recorded gifts to Frances of negligible value, such as free tickets to marketing events.

P,

A scholarship is not a gift, it is generally an inducement to a student of particular talent to attend the institution because of the prestige the student will bring to the institution.

You nor anyone else has anything to prove that it was anything else. All you have is innuendo. You know bugger all about the scholarship, nor the selection process, and in typical left whinge hypocrisy, assume the innocence of Thomson in spite of damning evidence, yet happily declare the guilt of Abbott without a shred of evidence.

SM,

The truth is I couldn't really give a toss....if it looks like a duck and walks like a duck...it's probably a gift scholarship to grab a little prestige and indulgence by taking advantage of someone's paternal connections.

But in general and back to main topic, to have you poncing around here oohing and ahhing over the left while your own team are up to their necks in it is fascinating.

No need to be so awkward and ungracious in defeat, Poirot.

Just admit your were wrong to sledge this fine young woman to get at her dad.

A repeat of your sorry sledging of Peta Credlin, again to get at the PM.

There was an election and you will just have to accept the decision of the people.

I'm not sledging the daughter at all.

I'm sledging the sort of "entitlement" that invents scholarships where there were (apparently) none, to give to people less deserving - but better connected - than others.

"There was an election and you will just have to accept the decision of the people."

And what a dog's breakfast we've all been privy to since....what a debacle of momentous proportions.

The poor old LNP brand is trashed beyond recognition - reinvention time a'comin'.
