SteeleRedux So you agree he has committed not criminal offenses.

Quote "The AFP referral was to ascertain if there was any criminal activity or evidence of blackmail. Neither were found however the contention that Christensen spent time in the less wholesome parts of the Southern Philippines know for drugs and prostitution and that he sent significant amounts of money there has not been challenged at all."

But in you above comment you try to imply he did something wrong because he was in certain areas BUT you have no evidence that in these areas he was doing anything wrong. Also it is not illegal to send money overseas.

Quote "why have you yet to acknowledge the original leak was from a government MP?"

I don't care if there was or was not an original leak. I would rather go by his claims than yours.
He has stated Quote "The AFP have stated that the allegation was made by an individual who had no knowledge of the conduct they were alleging. It is now widely known this individual was a Labor MP"

That is the one in question not anything by Turnbull or his cronies if they did anything.

Quote "Mate you are getting desperate aren't you."
** Not getting desperate at all you are the person getting desperate to slander someone when you have absolutely no evidence that he has done anything wrong except in your perverted eyes. **

Dear Philip S,

You rabbited on with;

“But in you above comment you try to imply he did something wrong because he was in certain areas BUT you have no evidence that in these areas he was doing anything wrong. Also it is not illegal to send money overseas.”

God strewth you can be so thick.

No, what I said was the reasons which may have red flagged an investigation by security agencies have not been challenged. That was made patently clear in my following paragraph which you did not reproduce because it didn't suit the idiotic attempt at making an inane insignificant point. Here it is;

“Was it enough to raise a red flag with our security services? Certainly. However in reality any morbidly overweight, middle aged Australian traipsing around the more seedy parts of that country trying to pick up local women far younger than themselves is not deemed illegal in Australia.”

Look Christensen readily admits he picked up his future bride in a karaoke bar in the southern Philippines. I have already flagged why I find this distasteful but have repeatedly said it wasn't illegal.

You wrote;

“I don't care if there was or was not an original leak. I would rather go by his claims than yours.”

They were his bloody claims you dill!

He “claimed to have been told the allegations were “mainly” spread by a former senior government MP and one of his former senior staff members. He did not identify either individual.”

Here is a direct quote from him;

“"I've asked myself why I've been the subject of such a vile and hateful smear campaign and I can only think it is because I stood up for my electorate against the powers that be, or rather, that were, on too many occasions," … "They now want revenge and have sided with Labor in this smear campaign to try and get that revenge."

You are done and dusted my friend. You are good fun but time to give it a rest.

SteeleRedux Frustrated look in the mirror.

You are the one including things that really don't need including, you are just mud raking.
Quote "The image of an overweight obnoxious Aussie picking up his future wife April in a karaoke bar in the southern Philippines may have raised eyebrows with some, but she seems to have been good for him as a few months later he was off to Malaysia to have stomach surgery to control his weight.

She still lives in the Philippines and he returns there regularly."

Everyone agrees he has not committed any criminal acts, that is all I wanted.

How not to win friends and influence people.

Quote from you "They were his bloody claims you dill!"
"You bloody dingbat."

Phil, nothing to say about the hypocrisy of the likes of Fat George, Joyce and Broad who will play the holier-than-thou moral superiority card when they think it will win them votes from the conservative base. All awhile these scum bags are carrying on, secretly so they think, in a worse degenerate way than those they deride as being morally corrupt.

You are right, Fat George has broken no Australian law, so they say, but as a politician has he acted in a way those who put him in parliament in the first place expect?

Dear Philip S,

You wrote;

“Everyone agrees he has not committed any criminal acts, that is all I wanted.”

No it wasn't since I had clearly stated that was the case four days ago. What you wanted to do was make some petty little point to make it seem like you had managed to salvage a win here.

You are the one claiming I have “perverted eyes”.

So why is it muckraking to state the bleeding obvious.

Is George middle aged? Was he morbidly overweight? Is he obnoxious? Did he pick up his future bride in a bar in the southern Philippines? Is it fair to acknowledge that some older Australian males seek more compliant wives in the less well off parts of Asia?

Of course it is. The fact that you are so touchy raises the question of whether you are also partnered with someone from that part of the world. Look, I lived in the southern Philippines for over 2 and a half years. They are a great people even though a large number of them live in extreme poverty. I have certainly seen Australian males taking advantage of that poverty and it wasn't pretty.

Anyway good luck to the pair, may they confound the statistics of this kind of relationship have a long and happy marriage. Maybe it will serve to lessen the man's obnoxiousness though I am not holding my breath.

As usual, this discussion has been based on political bias: the Left is in high dudgeon about the affair, the Right is more forgiving. It's all about this nong's politics, not about moral behaviour or right and wrong.

Waste of bloody time!
