Mr Odius and uneducated,

You are sidestepping the far more relevant question of why everyone thinks art students are pompous twats. As for Turnbull, it would appear that you are the only one that cares what he says.

As for the defamation case, I am looking forward to the ABC's grovelling apology.

I also believe that there a rape by a Labor member against a staffer surfacing. I hope you haven't got yourself caught up in this sordid affair and have kept your nose clean.

shifty&shadyminister,

Wouldn't surprise if there are deviant politicians on both sides. I have always said I think they are dishonest and untrustworthy.

Have you got a name to put to the story or are you just making it up?

Maybe you have a video from YouTube showing him (or her) telling us how he didn't have sex with so and so. I love those videos.

And I especially love this one:

Mr Uneducated and illiterate.

It would appear that neither you nor Pauliar ever read newspapers. References to these rumours have appeared in the "Fairfax" newspapers and in Newscorp papers over the last couple of weeks.

The journalists probably know the name of the Labor MP but are not as stupid as the ABC Louise Milligan to identify the person without proof.

If it is clearly shown that the ABC acted with malice Porter will be a rich man and it will give the coalition justification to take the ABC to task and fire some editors.

shifty&shadyminister,

I watched The Insiders this morning, where Peter Hartcher thinks Porter having sick leave is actually his boss Soot giving him an opportunity to resign instead of being fired.

I think that might also be the case for Linda Reynolds.

Hi Shadow Minister,

The ABC story referred to the incident as an allegation
only. They did not claim they knew it happened.
And the story did not name Porter. However, Christian
Porter's past history has left him with a guilty verdict
in the trial by the public.

The question is - whether a man who stands
accused of rape should be able to continue to hold
office without further investigation into the
claims. Is Mr Porter suitable to the office of
Attorney General? An independent investigation
commissioned by the office of the PM
can make a reasonable determination
as to Mr Porter's suitability. It can
also give Mr Porter a chance to clear his name.
