CHERFUL,

You have something worth saying and I will look for it elsewhere. But FFS could you drop that (always)over-done, anti-male *bleep* that comes across as an obsession?

Hi Paul,

You may be right: di Natale is being unfairly and dreadfully persecuted.

After all, if we take accommodation into account, we should remember that $ 100-150 a night is cheap these days for caravan parks, let alone luxury hotels. So the au pair is effectively receiving (7 x $ 150) right there. That's $ 1050 weekly income that all the anti-Greens completely ignore. But that's not all.

And then there's food: it's hard to find a decent meal at a good restaurant for less than $ 40. So if we take into account 7 x 3 x $ 40 = $ 840 for food alone, that income-equivalent amount is now totalling $ 1890 just there. And we haven't built in various other expenses that the au pair would run up.

So just there, that au pair is effectively on a weekly income of at least $ 2040, of which she has $ 150 to do with as she pleases. Where else in the Third world - say, Saudi Arabia - would an au pair get that sort of weekly income ? Clearly, many people on OLO are just running dogs of the Murdoch gutter press, out to destroy the integrity of di Natale any way they can. Shame on you.

Why the surprise? The greens have always been hypocrites.

"It’s reported today that Di Natale did not keep timesheets for the work done by his nannies.."

Sounds like they were on duty 24/7/365. A day off every Leap Year but get the kids ready and fed, cut lunches too before you go out the door, mind.

More lies from the pack of liars that support the lying liars party.
