He joins a long list of Labor senior MPs & leaders who served time in parliament, then prison, when their criminal intent was perceived.

More to come I believe.

Both sides are very capable at rorting the system.

George Brandis spends thousands on his books and book shelves when he probably had a complete set from his old practice. With all the advisors and research people available to a minister I wonder whether he ever has to resort to his own shelves.

A Labor Minister about to leave parliament took a winter 2013 holiday at our expense.

Tony Abbott campaigned on his bike for years but that was treated as a parliamentarian expense rather than a Liberal Party expense.

Both sides need some education in ethics. They didn't learn much in that regard during their religious upbringing.

Yes Robert,

Well said!

Does this mean the AFP will be investigating, and prosecuting the PM and the rest of the rorting lieberal party? The weddings, book launches, housebuying, firefighting, bike rides for gods sake. It is corruption of the highest order and if the AFP dont follow their precedent set with the slipper case then they are as corrupt as this government.
The Australian people are getting sick of these liars with their snouts firmly in the troughs while raining down vicious blows on those that cant fight back.
Greedy, corrupt, bullies

No matter what happened here are the FACTS: In the latest poll, Newspoll, Labor leads 54% to 46%. If an election was held right now, LABOR WOULD ROMP IN.

Jay123 - Then they would send out the navy taxi to bring in another 50,000 + economic invaders.

Then next election back in opposition.
