Well what I would do is different that what my party will do, ok so far? it is my view your post, extended to cover both parties, is the reason for falling primary votes both sides get, in many way, including the less obvious, your willingness to flog the whole party for the acts of a well you can not say that here, me? by now the lass would know the inquiry will find her guilty, she would have heard, from me, on the day it is said publicly I will publicly request she resign, and be disendorsed if she stayed every sitting day I would call for party faithful to boo her out side parliament, to show the country we do not suffer fools,NOW back to Slipper, YOUR mob knew he was a grub, not until my side used that grub factor, and removed one of our best ever speakers to BRIBE him,did you tell us what you had known for years, your serve I think?

Belly,

Prior to Juliar's purchase of Slipper, Slipper had already been disciplined and disendorsed for abusing his expense claims, and the libs had already made it clear that his career in the liberal party was over after the elections in a few months.

Compare this to Tony Burke who whilst married, was not only having an affair with his secretary but spending vast sums of taxpayers' money on her first class air travel and accommodation around the world with him. Notably, Burke was not disciplined nor required by his party to pay back a cent.

IF true? we can dig for dirt and find it on both sides however this thread started out in protest about one maggot who happens to be from my side, filth exists, on both sides, and should not but are we afraid to talk of policy?

Belly, IF true?

"Italy and Spain were the favoured destinations of Tony Burke when he embarked on a ministerial travel extravaganza that included first-class flights with senior staffer Skye Laris, who is now his partner. Mr Burke’s expense claims show that in 2008-09 he racked up $225,000 in overseas travel costs. The Australian understands he was accompanied on most of these trips by Ms Laris.

In January 2009, Mr Burke travelled with Ms Laris in his role as agriculture minister to attend a forum in Barcelona known as “Food Security for All”. Both travelled first-class along with two departmental officials with Mr Burke’s expenses for the six-day trip totalling $48,951. Shortly afterwards, Mr Burke promoted Ms Laris from adviser to chief of staff and stipulated that she accompany him on all of his domestic and overseas trips.

Mr Burke has come under fire for taking his children with him on a business-class trip to Uluru. ­Yesterday, he admitted that such travel was “completely beyond community expectations” and pledged not to access these ­entitlements in the future.

Mr Burke separated from his wife, Cathy Bresnan-Burke, in 2012. His relationship with Ms Laris became public two years later.

Earlier yesterday, Mr Burke asked the Finance Department to review his parliamentary expenses for trips made with his family, ­including a 2012 trip to Uluru that involved business-class airfares for his family.

Ms Laris also accompanied Mr Burke in April 2009 on a 14-day trip to China and Italy to attend the Boao Forum for Asia and the “G8+G5 Outreach session” of the G8 agriculture ministers’ meeting. Mr Burke billed the taxpayer $58,722 for this extended tour.

In the same year, Mr Burke travelled to the US and the Middle East at a cost of $81,000, and again to Italy at a cost of $47,286.

In his capacity as finance spokesman, Mr Burke has led the attack on former Speaker Bronwyn Bishop, but a close examination of his expense claims reveals a host of excessive and questionable items."

And yet this crook is still in parliament, and Labor attacks Joyce?

Bronwyn Bishop! any one who can in any way defend this old girl is beyond hearing the truth

Tony Burke, who in their right mind could defend this old crook?
