The Grrls are harsh where it concerns a woman who has made her own way in the world, eschewing the cronyism, favouritism and legs-up that the left's Emily's Listers expect and demand.

They can go on for pages Left-splaining away Gillard's mistakes though. Gillard is still casting herself as the victim.

The treatment of Speaker, Bronwyn Bishop by the Labor Opposition will be remembered in history as black days of Parliament.

From the public's perspective, those large executive salaries are wasted on fools who continually get thrown out of the chamber for being playing childish games.

What have Li'l Willie Shorten and the Opposition come up with as alternative policies? Zilch, as ex-Labor leader Mark Latham said, Labor is obsessed with gay marriage.

Foxy one, how did BB stuff up as you put it?
Maybe she has been set up, since she did not ask for the helicopter.

Surely Bill Shorten with the rape accusation is a much more serious matter. Yet you say nothing about that.

Dear JF Aus,

Politicians are consistently told that entitlements are
supposed to be used on business related to their
work as parliamentarians but not for anything to do
with party political business or social events.

It's not just the helicopter ride with Mrs Bishop it's
also spending in the hundreds of thousands for local
and overseas travel that had nothing to do with her job.
She was unable to produce evidence for the reason for her
trips - which is extraordinary.

The Speaker's role is critical. She runs the lower house from
which government is drawn and to which it is answerable. Without
the Speaker's impartiality - actual and perceived - both
Members of Parliament and those watching lose respect for the
entire institution.

Mrs Bishop is a solicitor, she maintains her NSW practising
certificate 47 years since her admission and has spent the
past 27 years in parliament. She is not a political novice
and she should understand the law's strict views of those
occupying impartial offices. Yet her behaviour has been
biased in the extreme and in addition she has charged the public
purse for so many travel allowances that had nothing to do with
her job.

The Abbott-led Coalition chased Mr Slipper at the cost of
millions to the taxpayer to get back a measley sum - yet chooses
to ignore the atrocious behaviour of the Speaker.
This is not good enough.

As for Mr Shorten's alleged "rape" accusation?
That was investigated by the police and the
matter was dropped.

cont'd ...

I forgot to add that it is well past time to have
another detailed examination of how travel and
other entitlements are used in practice.
Limits should be set.

Foxy,
Speaker Bishop also does electorate work for constituents such as myself. Why should she have to blab my situation for example, in response to unjustified media accusations?
Slipper was clearly out on the booze for himself.
In contrast, fundraising is a key component of getting into office and remaining there.
i am not objecting to Shorten's legitimate fund raising or that of any politician.

What did the complainant say about the dropping of the rape accusation investigation?

Dear JF Aus,

Her electorate is not in the state of Victoria.
It is in NSW. And attending political party
fund-raisers in any case, as well as weddings of friends, and overseas trips that entail
looking for plum jobs for herself, are not part and parcel
of her job by any stretch, and does not entitle her to expect that
she can charge the public purse for these expenses.

I shan't be responding to you any further.
