otb,
The dept of Finance is responsible for office fit outs for federal parliamentarians. "Federal parliamentarians have criticised the Department of Finance's spend of more than $4.5 million on office "fit-outs" for MPs and senators in the final six months of last year. From July to December 2014, more than 100 MPs and senators had new offices fitted out or upgraded — nine MPs had fit-outs worth more than $250,000." The Finance Department is responsible for fitting out offices, and updates the public record on parliamentary entitlements, travel and office costs twice per year." "Politicians acknowledged the need for appropriate security to protect themselves and their staff could increase costs. But many MPs did not want to talk on camera because they did not want to wear blame for a process they had no control over. Two MPs told 7.30 the Finance Department can make life "rather difficult"." http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-06-30/department-of-finance-spends-millions-refitting-mps-offices/6585122 Does that not apply to Greens?.... (taking into account you'll continue to bang on about the location of her office:) Posted by Poirot, Monday, 28 March 2016 6:07:59 PM

Poirot: The dept of Finance is responsible for office fit outs for federal parliamentarians.
& Just think. After the next election they have to rip out all those Office's because the New People won't take the perfectly Good Fitouts that were there before them. Especially the new Female Politicians. I can see it now. "Ewww... The curtains don't match the Carpet & the desk doesn't go with the Paintings. Eeewwww.... Change it, change everything. Get me my Paris Decorator. & I want a new toilet, a man used that one." Posted by Jayb, Monday, 28 March 2016 6:34:31 PM

Jayb, you really have a low opinion of women, as shallow, superficial air heads, when they are nothing of the sorts, heck your mother could have been a woman for all you know!
Over the years I have worked on many election campaigns for the Labor Party and The Greens, both for men and women. In general I have found women politicians, and aspiring ones at that, from all parties to be the more approachable, the more articulate, the more knowledgeable of the issues than men. The best politician I know, state or federal is a woman. Fortunately I don't know Bronwyn Bishop, if I did possibly my opinion would change. Posted by Paul1405, Tuesday, 29 March 2016 8:18:54 AM

No I haven't, but I do recognize the difference in their brains. Her is a good video by Mark Gungor, a Marriage Guidance Councillor. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XjUFYxSxDk A Tail of Two Brains. Watch it, it's great. Funny but oh so true. The full Video of the Seminar is long. 4+ hrs but well worth the watch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUNaZinoH_0 Posted by Jayb, Tuesday, 29 March 2016 10:04:41 AM

Lol!...there's so much corruption being exposed in the Liberal Party that Shadow Minister is literally wading through it attempting to classify bits of flotsam as he goes.
Most hilarious! Posted by Poirot, Tuesday, 29 March 2016 10:13:23 AM

This woman spent more on outfitting can already pristine executive suite to meet her extreme needs and disregarded far cheaper equivalent office space in the suburb a half Km away, that was more representative of her electorate. Then she didn't think she should explain.
