On what grounds is Slipper a slime bag, NJ? The sexual harassment charges were vexatious and the cabcharge issue is over (and minor compared to what most MPs seem to get away with). The text message thing was a complete stitch-up, and I don't blame him one bit for defecting from the party that had been trying to backstab him for years. So, unless you're privileged to information that I'm not, I'm not sure that he's earned such vitriol (well, any more than the average major party politician).

I think Slipper emerged from that affair with far more integrity intact than Mal Brough or pretty much any (then) opposition frontbencher who drove him out of the speaker's chair.

Reading why the appeal was successful hardly shows a glowing exoneration, in fact the judge states:

"I accept that the evidence before the Magistrate was capable of raising, as a rational inference, the proposition that the appellant undertook each of the three journeys for purposes unrelated to parliamentary business," he said.

"She may have been entitled to conclude that it was the most probable inference."

It must be some painful cognitive dissonance when you have to defend a corrupt liberal party underling in order to attack Tony Abbott.


Slipper is innocent of all charges. If you have evidence to back your claim that Slipper is corrupt then you know more than a judge who actually has seen & read the evidence.

The black & white of this is that he is innocent.

If you have evidence of Slippers corruption go tell the Police, go & shout it everywhere. What are the libel laws like in the ACT?

Your selective use of quotes fails to mention that the magistrate got it wrong as judged in a superior court. Just because you think he is corrupt doesn't make him corrupt.

The Liberals & The mad Misogynist Monk (his best man) have a lot to answer for. The consequences of their lust for power is being shown up day by day'.

Perhaps we can ask honest Mal Brough about it too? Perhaps you can remind us what a previous judge said about him?


You might want to be more careful in picking your white knights wpt. Shocked That Abbott is a scumbag of the first order who through his ex friend under a bus for political purposes doesn't excuse the fact that Slipper is a grade A slime bag himself. These charges being overturned doesn't change any of that. Everyone in parliament knows exactly what Slipper is and no-one will be rushing to his defence.


I know what his reputation is & I don't see him as a white knight. However, he is not guilty of the charges against him & as far as we know he is not corrupt.he was treated shabbily & without shame & I don't want to see (even) Abbott treated like that & he has a lot more to answer with his legal polices than Slipper does with the false allegations against him.

I don't think anyone should be shamed like Slipper was made to by the disgusting tactics of the Liberal party. Mind you, I might equivocate on Bernardi Wink

It seemed like it would never happen, but the chickens may be finally coming home to roost for Mal Brough.

Palmer only said that yesterday to distract attention from the fact that his company is in a great deal of financial trouble (like all other coal companies).

Doesn't mean it isn't true, of course. Mr Dirty Tricks Mal Brough is in very hot water, and not before time. It's not easy to make Slippery Pete look like an angel: standing him next to that slimball Brough is one of the few known ways to do it.

Roosting mission completed:

One reaps what one sows. As I posted in this thread back in 2012:

Too late, I think, he already has been which is fine by me, actually. If the Liberal Party want to play in the mud, they'd better get used to being associated with it.
