No Foxy, you haven't.

You have pointed out the obvious that both parties have got donations from Chinese businessmen. So far only one Labor MP has been shown to have acted corruptly with respect to foreign donations from one country and yet you call for a complete ban on all overseas donations? Just a little bit of an overreaction like banning driving cars after one accident.

As for Shorten his promises are worth nothing. A month ago he was claiming that Labor's vetting procedures were first class, and calling for transparency in the dual citizenship saga, then the moment at least 4 of his MPs failed the test he refused to refer them to the high court.

Finally, we don't need an alcoholic pinhead of an MP such as Jackie Lambie.

Dear Shadow Minister,

I take it then that you don't feel there was anything
suss about the fact - that companies
linked to the Chinese conglomerate Yuhu Group
made a donation to the then trade Minister Andrew
Robb's fundraising entity the day their trade deal
was clinched. You don't feel that this should have
been investigated when Andrew Robb got a big fat
donation off the Chinese the same day he signed a
trade deal on behalf of Australia with China. And
that there's nothing suss about the fact that Mr
Robb after serving as trade Minister took up an
$800,000 a year job with the Chinese firm the
Landbridge Group, which controls Darwin Port.
And the fact that his contract stipulates that he
gets paid that even though he does nothing.

We get it. It's all innuendo right. Andrew Robb is
not a grub. But Sam Dastyari is. So where's Sam today
and where's Andrew Robb?

Who's career is thriving and whose isn't?

As far as Senator Jacqui Lambie is concerned?

Your reference to her addiction problem which
stemmed from her time in the army while serving
her country and trying
to survive as a single mother which she has
since overcome is really, really low and from
you - unexpected. I had always assumed you were
better than that consider your alias is
"Shadow Minister." Instead I am beginning to
realise that perhaps you do belong in the shadows.

I guess that you
would not criticise the boozers rolling in the
aisles at Liberal functions or for that matter
the ones who sniff women's chairs, have
extra-marital affairs, or act as wrecking balls
against their government's stability. Not to mention
ones who take political donations and bribes and
positions from foreigners.
Those you can overlook

Foxy,

I am staggered by the breadth and depth of your hypocrisy. That Jackie Lambie or any other pollie has a drinking problem, mistresses on the side etc is not my concern as long as they keep it out of parliament. That Lambie is renowned for very liquid lunches and most days sitting in the senate while she is as pissed as a fart is my concern. That she is rumored to dabble in other recreation pharmaceuticals and has the IQ of a squirrel are also problems. If she isn't fit to drive a car then she shouldn't be in the senate.

As for Andrew Robb who pushed through a FTA with China that hugely benefited both Chinese and Australian companies and several other FTAs that Howard started and Labor sat on for 6 years, that Chinese businesses were grateful is not surprising. The point is that AR would have done the same without and donations. The real question is what did Labor do to get the lion's share of the donations after doing bugger all?

AR is legally entitled to do whatever he wants after leaving parliament as long as he does not compromise the interests of Australia. And as you have not a smidgen of evidence that he has ever acted against Australia's interests, all you can do is attempt to smear him. If you have real questions then ask them, until then all you have is sanctimonious finger wagging.

Shadow Minister,

You said that you continue to be staggered by
the breadth and depth of my hypocrisy?

That does not surprise me.

That way you can conveniently forget your own faults
and continue to only see the faults in someone else.

A true hypocrite to the core.
