What do we really know about this staffer with whom
Mr Joyce had his affair. I read somewhere that she
was engaged and due to marry while working for Mr Joyce.
When did her engagement break up? And has Mr Joyce had
a DNA test done to ensure that the baby is really his?

Just a thought.

Anyone know?

Hi Foxy, anyone who would take a job in an office run by Barnyard, needs a psychiatric assessment to determine their state of mind. Anyone who would take a job in an office run by Barnyard, and then hop into bed with him, needs committing to a facility for the mentally deranged. I imagine he wears that stupid hat to bed as well.

It's definitely the Liberals and their lackeys who are the masters of personal smear. I could list every ALP leader since Whitlam and the usually contrived personal attacks against them.
There were various rumours about Howard and his proclivities but the ALP chose not to follow that path - Abbott likewise has a few skeletons hidden away.

As for Turnbull, remember why they dumped him as leader the last time?

It wasn't just because of the UteGate and Godwin Grech bungle, where he refused to take advice from other Party members on how or whether to proceed, it was also because of the way the treated his National Party allies - with typical Turnbull disdain and contempt.

They said it threatened the future of Coalition so, after a few late-night Liberal Party meetings, Turnbull had to go.
His dead-cat bounce return hasn't paid off.

Now we're at a stand-off and soon Turnbull will be asked to go (again) - just as Murdoch and (the strangely quiet) Abbott have wanted for so long.

Tick tock tick tock Mal. Joyce wasn't the real target - it' you!
At least you'll have your Cayman Islands accounts to console you.

Dear Paul,

Not sure if this situation can be saved at present.
It appears that Barnaby is not going to give in
no matter what. I think the only thing that the
PM can do is call for an early election.

We really need the swamp drained of all our politicians and a new lot found. The last 12 months or so have been truly embarrassing on a global scale for Australians who try to take a bit of pride in their country. But that's not going to happen while serving politicians are allowed to nominate, and vote for, people just like them to stand for election. Tony Abbott has tried twice, and failed, to take things out of the hands of power brokers and faction leaders in NSW. We have no power whatsoever over people who are supposed to be our servants. People who still think that Australia is a democracy are kidding themselves.

I think that not enough tribute is paid to the
magnificent staff that politicians have - most of
them work hard, very hard and deserve much more thanks
then they are given. Also tributes need to be paid
to the wives and partners of politicians. They put up
with a lot. They raise their children single-handedly
while their partners are doing their work, the wives
are doing equally important work.

I love what CJ Dennis, the Australian poet wrote in a
series of poems entitled, "Songs of the Sentimental Bloke,"
the following lines:

"Yeh live, yeh love, yeh learn, an' when yeh come
To square the ledger in some thortful hour,
The everlastin' answer to the sum
Must allus be, "Where's sense in gettin' sour?"

Livin' an' lovin' - so life mooches on.
