Dear Shadow Minister,

Pointing fingers at others - does not excuse
the bad behaviour of those one supports -
especially since the one you support carried
on about the sanctity of marriange whilst
impregnating a staffer. No excuse. Bad show!

Qld premier Pluckachook has split up with her partner. Off to join Joyce's harem?

Joyce's affair isn't the main issue for me. The fact that a job was created for his mistress does, so does the fact they both are now staying rent free in boutique accommodation supplied by the owner of a large trucking firm while Joyce is the Minister for Transportation.

Where is our ICAC?

Toni,

If hypocrisy is really what gets your goat then the fact that Burke was Labor's attack dog on parliamentary expenses while taking his mistress with him first class to a wide variety of destinations all on the taxpayer's dime.

Foxy,

And pointing to the bad behaviour on one side only whilst completely ignoring the bad behaviour on the other side is hypocrisy.

SR,

More unsubstantiated finger wagging?

Considering that Vikki Campion was competent staffer and that the office of finance has no authority to dictate who can and can't fill a MP's staffer position, there are no rules broken.

As BJ has listed the accomodation as a donation, again there are no rules broken.

Remember that Bob Hawke was shagging his secretary while PM and married.

Yep, it's pathetic... could do so much better.

I mean, Tory MP's are one thing, but if Bob Hawke had sat in the House of Lords he'd not have just been shagging his secretary, he'd have been performing the act of sexual perversion known as 'taking tea with the parson', or 'a Tennessee log jammer' for our American cousins, which common decency forbids me from describing in pubic forum. Suffice to say that it involves a ladder, and usually takes place in Brentford...
