SR,

I have a lot more against Lambie than you have against AR. She seriously stinks to high heaven.

According to you, AR and the coalition spent nearly a decade formulating a series of trade deals for a couple of grand donation. Now you are just being stupid.

P.S. AR negotiating 4 FTAs and the TPP with nearly a dozen nations gives him a CV that only a handful of people can equal.

As for the contract he signed, NOTE, that he resigned the next day, precisely to prevent a conflict of interest and before he took any money.

So to sum up what have you got against AR -- Sweet FA. I again challenge you again to show any evidence that he has broken any law or even any ministerial conduct.

Shadow Minister,

Perhaps the following link may help clarify things for
you regarding Andrew Robb:

cont'd ...

Last October when former trade minister Andrew Robb
took a job with the Landbridge Group who won the
notorious 99 year lease at Darwin Port - the
appointment breached Ministerial standards.

Mr Robb actively took the job a day before he left office.
During his "cooling off" period Mr Robb led a delegation of
Australian Government Trade Officials to China.

Excuses should not be made for this Minister.

Why is Dastardly still on the payroll? He claims to have resigned, but when? Or is that still if?

When will Bill Shorten sack the slippery S.O.B?

leoj, you just can't get it can you, Shorten cannot sack a member of parliament, including Dastyari. I would think Labor's NSW Right have a consolation prize for Keneally, if she gets rolled on Saturday in the Bennelong by-election. Dastardly can resign on Monday and Keneally, having lost, is then eligible to take his place in the Senate.

The biggest opposition to a Federal ICAC is the Coalition and Labor. On this they have an unanimous policy "we don't want one!" Why? like in NSW the ICAC would be a most effective weapon in uncovering corrupt Labor and Liberal politicians.

It is a deceit. Dastaryi hasn't resigned from the Parliament at all has he? He is hanging on, still receiving his Senate pay and a drain on taxpayers.

Shorten is compounding the insult to the public by shielding the manipulative rogue and making excuses, such as that "former Greens leader Christine Milne took 98 days to leave the Parliament after her resignation". Equating Dastaryi's situation to Milne's is a lie. Dastaryi still has a Senator's access to Australia's confidential information, including on highly desirable (to China) secret commercial operations and on private individuals, all here for example.

Paul1405,
How typical of the NSW 'Eastern Bloc' Greens to neglect the security threat and breaches of trust by Dastaryi and instead, to focus on scoring shabby political points. Your own 'wrecking ball', the awful Lee Rhiannon, should have resigned many times from the Greens and from the Senate too for positions she takes against the interests of Australia. But Rhiannon is protected by the NSW branch, by the 'Watermelon' faction, the Trots.

Of course Shorten has remedies easily to hand for that slimy, greedy little grub Dastaryi and the first he should have taken is to expel him from the Labor Party.
