Paul,

http://www.theshovel.com.au/2015/08/17/dyson-heydon-wears-liberal-party-cap-to-royal-commission-hearing/

"Royal Commissioner Dyson Heydon has apologised for wearing a Liberal Party cap to the Royal Commission into Union corruption this morning, saying he ‘didn’t realise’ the cap had the Liberal Party logo emblazoned on its front.

“I overlooked the connection between the logo on the cap and the Liberal Party of Australia,” Mr Heydon said in a statement today.

Liberal Party MPs, including Attorney General George Brandis, have come out in support of Mr Heydon, saying there is no suggestion of bias. “It is just a hat. He took it off as soon as he was made aware of it; that should be the end of it,” Mr Brandis said.

Former Speaker Bronwyn Bishop said it was a trivial matter and nothing more than a witch-hunt. “I would often arrive at the Speaker’s chair and accidently start handing out Liberal Party brochures. We’ve all done it! Move on.”

While there is mounting pressure on the Commissioner to resign, Prime Minister Tony Abbott has advised Mr Heydon to let the shitstorm grow for another two or three weeks before finally standing down."

(That's "satire" - for Shadow Minister's benefit, who wouldn't recognise it if it donned a Liberal Party logo and called itself impartial)

Hi Poirot, given this blokes claimed absent-mindedness, at the end of the 80 million dollar witch hunt Heydon is like to inquire "Now fellas what were we talking about?"
Heydon also sat on the panel which gave an Oxford scholarship to a young Tony Abbott. Abbott refuses to say how much this bloke is being paid from our taxes to run the kangaroo court for him, but it runs into millions. On Friday Heydon is going to pass judgement on himself as is he a fit and proper person to run the circus.
Bronwyn Bishop is at a loose end at the moment, cooling her heels on the backbench, you never know what the Mad Monk will do.
Heydon's hat, was it one of those baseball caps with 'Vote Liberal' on the front and Helicopter blades on top that blow around in the wind, was he also wearing Groucho Marx glasses and did he have one of those bow ties on that spin around when you press a hidden button, naturally along with the big red shoes. No self respecting commissioner would be seen in anything less, one must dress for the occasion!

So I guess that both Parrot and Paul will support a motion to have Gillian Triggs dismissed for giving an address at a labor function.

Shadow, when all else fails you can be relied upon to make something up.
"Gillian Triggs dismissed for giving an address at a labor function."

Now that the 'Sir Garfield Barwick Address' is defunct, due to political bias, maybe you conservatives could institute a replacement address, may I suggest the 'Sir Edward Heath Address' after all like Garfield, Ted was a leading world conservative from yesteryear. It would be topical to, as Teds in the news at the moment.

Moving on, I am pleased that you are concerned with this Liberal mob covering up corruption again at a federal level, like they did in NSW recently. As you said
"TURC in its short time has already covered up more corruption and criminal activity than ICAC ever did" Who from the Liberal Party is involved this time, can you please name, names.

Paul,

What's good for the goose is good for the gander. Triggs has shown blatant bias towards labor over the years, and now is giving an address at a labor fund raiser. As her position is required to be non partisan, you should be baying for her dismissal unless of course you are a rabid hypocrite.

The Sir GB address is not defunct and is an address on legal issues and named after one of the most eminent Australian chief justices, of which Heath was not. I would suggest that you attempt to attend a few to fill your glaring ignorance of the law.

PS I believe the Pedogreens are going to start have a fund raiser called the Karel Solomon undress.

Shadow, Barwick was that old grub, who told that old soak, Kerr, to sack the good and honorable Gough! You are making things up about that wonderful woman Gillian Triggs, I only hear good of Ms Triggs on the ABC and in the SMH.
What now needs to be exposed is the personal relationship between Heydon and Abbott, Haydon gives Abbott a free scholarship to Oxford, Abbott gives the out of work Heydon a cushy job for boy at the RC paying zillions of dollars, and a 'Vote Liberal' hat to boot, which he wares to the Royal Commission with pride.
As you told of corruption hiding at the RC, do you now think we need spend another 80 million dollars on a Royal Commission to investigate corruption hiding at the Royal Commission. It could be done alphabetically starting with politicians who's names begin with 'A'. I think Julia Gillard would be the ideal person to conduct such an investigation, agree?
Ted Heath was a good friend of the founder of the Liberal Party Sir Robert Menzies, they had a lot in common, both being conservative Prime Ministers in their respective countries. I'm sure when they got together they sat down and compared notes and experiences, as one does with friends. I believe a 'Sir Edward Heath Address' would be a fitting honor now the 'Sir Garfield Barwick Address' is a dead duck.
I'm off to get my copy of the SMH for the morning, to read up on todays Liberal Party scandal.
