Dear Poirot,

Thanks for that.
Very revealing.

We just don't get it.

JohnC of Gosford NSW wrote in an article on
the web:

"When you are a member of the "born to rule" class you
simply assume high office and make sure that your electorate
is not located in the heartland of the "great unwashed."
They demonstrably simply don't understand the justifiable
rights of their betters and expect their representatives to
be accountable.
Marxism, nothing more nothing less - Madam Speaker intones."

Parrot,

Now you are talking complete crap, If you recall, there was a stink because Slipper racked up expenses as speaker at a record rate. And if you want to see expense, KRudd as FM broke all records.

LOL, Fox quoting as her 'authority' a 'JohnC of Gosford NSW' who penned one of those crackpot, rude, Class War comments that so appeal to the lunar green left.

Fox, this is from another post where the criticism of Bishop was balanced with,

"It's also all very well for Labor members, Tony Burke to carry on, after all, it was Rudd who also galavanted around the world, after being knifed, resorting to back bench, but using 'privilege' to globe trot seeking UN appointments at our expense. None of our current crop of politicians can hold their heads high."

That is a much fairer, adult position most would think, but you did not find it.

Dear Shadow Minister,

Here are the top ten spenders (excluding office fit out
costs). These expenses come on top of their salaries.

1) Tony Abbott - $1,057,675
2) Julie Bishop - 865,887
3) Andrew Robb - 541,755
4) Scott Morrison - 465,064
5) Ian Macfarlene - 442,760
6) Barnaby Joyce - 411,074
7) Bronwyn Bishop - 398,563
8) Bill Shorten - 390,287
9) Joe Hocky - 387,693
10) Bob Katter - 386,074

(As given in the Sydney Morning Herald).

That could have something to do with being in government, as the PM for example and the representational roles.

What do you have on Ms Gillard and her ministers and Speaker, and similarly on Kevin Rudd and his 'team'?

- Remembering your oft-repeated sermons,

Fox, "My point as always is to present alternative
perspectives to any issue for consideration.

To try to broaden the discussion so to speak.

To make people think and take another look at
what we're being presented with by our politicians
and mainstream media (that runs along mostly
predictable lines)."

Poirot would make a great defence attorney as he/she has absolutely no scruples when it comes to defending a crook... a la Peter Slipper, Craig Thompson, and Man Monis to name a few of her favourites.

If you can get them off on a technicality, they are innocent, even if they did the crime, right?

God inspector, it must be great being the genius you are. No man is your match.
