Glad people haven't forgotten the Slipper affair. How despicable does the Liberal Party's behaviour look now (if it didn't already back then)? Destroyed a man's political career over private text messages, a vexatious harassment claim that they were knee-deep in and the same misuse of entitlements that everyone from the party leader down was guilty of. Hope this haunts them for the rest of their (hopefully brief) parliamentary term.

So does that mean I can claim my obstacle course races now?
Sounds fair

I reckon you can and use the example of the PM's expense claim. |

Yes, but it wasn't just Dreyfus getting his ski holiday dates wrong. Bernie Ripoll, (ALP, Oxley) managed to fit three days watching the Tour de France in his tax-payer funded study tour. There was a repayment in 2007 for Tim's use of Julia's tax payer funded car.
Undoubtedly the Coalition have been much worse but that doesn't excuse Labor.

I walked passed a hospital last time we were in Spain - noticed the lack of ambulance ramping so can I claim that - sounds fair!

Abbott attended Slippers, the shock jocks weddings and claimed it was buisness for *uck sake. Both sides have been caught out here but the LNP are the ones that get up on the soap box and push that they are fiscally responsible. That's the difference and this will all blow over in a week as both sides rush to pay bills from years ago whilst Slipper is not given the same opportunity. |

Don'r joke, you probably can claim part of your holiday as a study tour. Want me to help you work it up?

25% of the Mad Misogynist Miners Monk's front bench claimed allowances going to mates wedding.
A bloody disgrace of a Government. This government is a joke. A rorters paradise.
Lets hear them snarl about the unemployed trying to rort the system & try to roll back the pay of hospitality workers & shift workers 
Hypocrites & liars.

WPT, I'm not sure if you've received the memo yet. The attack on the unemployed and insecurely employed has been scheduled for next month, following the present hate attack on the gay community, itself having followed the opening sortie on asylum seekers. Should those pogroms fail to incite enough misanthropy to steady Abbott's leadership, the Gliberal Party has been advised to reach for the top shelf of powerless minorities, such as remote Aboriginal communities and Islamic women.
The great thing about powerless minorities is that there are so many of them to beat up on! The good Lord has always been kind to the Liberal Party in that way; he does indeed reward his own!

Most of the LNP front bench have paid back monies they claimed in what is described as oversights. I am sure the ordinary tax payer will be able to use that excuse and not be penalised by the ATO. 
Slippers comment, "I should be allowed to pay the money back or all the MP's should be charged". I have to agree. |

And how much public money belonging to the taxpayer did this scumbag take?
Zero.
Compare with Abbott's repeated dipping into the public purse to go to weddings and fun runs. Compare with the pugilistic Victorian Liberal MP's shameless theft of public money to run his Frankston business. Compare with the millions of taxpayer dollars Matthew Guy's Phillip Island land deals scam cost - and that story's not over, 'coz the Ombudsman has now announced that he is looking into it. http://www.theage.com.au/victoria/watchdog-to-probe-guys-botched-land-rezoning-20131015-2vl1q.html Compare with the Liberal Attorney General, who not only dipped his snout into the go-to-your-mate's-wedding trough, he bought so many thousands of dollars worth of taxpayer-funded books that his $7000 taxpayer-funded bookshelf is too big to be moved into his office! http://theshovel.com.au/2013/10/15/george-brandis-bookshelf-to-be-used-to-house-asylum-seekers/

No you're mixing thing things up a bit here Stui my good man:
Union money, not public money.
A crook you bet, but try a different thread your winner.
Now lets get back to mates weddings & claims shall we? The dirty hypocrites can't help themselves.
BTW, Stui, have you got a meal receipt for me?
