Abbott's fraud and hypocrisy

[Jovial_Monk]

Continuing the hypocrisy theme—how about Brandis claiming for stuff he wasn’t entitled to! This paragon of hypocrisy wrote to Police commissioners everywhere re Thomson, Slipper etc.

Hope someone refers him to the AFP!

[wog_girl]

Maybe a few criminal charges, aka Britain, would wake these idiots up.

[Jovial_Monk]

Yeah—Brandis & Piss&Moan would be good!

How's that dickhead Dreyfus

The sanctimonious sniveller sooked all this morning how it was a problem with the govt before being smacked firmly in his hypocritical chops for claiming a ski trip

Dreyfus is typical of the useless dregs of talent the ALP is able to attract now days. Under Hawke, Keating or Beazley a sack of skin as politically inept as Dreyfus (and Swan for that matter) wouldn't have been trusted to clean up duties at a Gillard/ALP bukkake party.

[wog_girl]

I miss Beazley. Pity he was stabbed in the back by the actor from Brisbane.

Your response mentioned the Greens....

and yet look at the rorting done by him and his minions. And Labor, The Greens and Bob Katter and who knows who else if it was looked at

So I asked you for a link.

This thread isn't the same as Aussie's. This is about Abbott's fraud and hypocrisy. I can't find anything very much either over on Ozpolitic - so as you won't justify your comments here, I'll have to assume you're lying again.

Well gee wizz... I found it here on the other topic... you know the one that's not the same as this one

remember... I don't lie... YOU DO.

Why Slipper's Cabcharges may be different to PM's weddings

http://www.smh.com.au/federal-politics/ ... z2hAEyODUI" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Slipper has been charged with three counts under the ''general dishonesty'' provisions of the Criminal Code Act. The offence has three ingredients: dishonestly causing a loss or risk of a loss to ''another person''; knowing or believing that the loss or risk of a loss will occur; and that the other person is a Commonwealth entity.


The AFP's statement of facts, which went to the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions, spells out the allegations against the former speaker in detail.

The first vineyard excursion was on January 20, 2010, in a hire car driven by Gary Green. The car was equipped with a GPS tracking system, so the digital fingerprint comes into evidence. Slipper was accompanied by ''a male associate'' and he required Green to drive him from Parliament House to wineries in Murrumbateman.

First stop was Doonkuna Winery for about 17 minutes, then to Clonakilla (12 minutes), Yass Valley Wines (19 minutes), Shaw Estate (16 minutes), then to Poachers Pantry (a felicitous choice) before arriving at Gallagher Wines for 27 minutes.

The trip had taken four and a half hours by the time the party arrived back in Canberra. At $75 an hour for the hire car, the total bill came to a little more than $337.

The federal police claim that Slipper then asked the driver: ''Could we process this manually and break up the payment, putting it down as suburb to suburb, so it's processed easier?''

Green apparently replied: ''Whatever way you want.''

Even though the car had eftpos facilities, four Cabcharge vouchers were manually processed through what is known as the Farrington card imprinter. They were broken up as $87 from Parliament House to suburbs; $80 from suburbs to Parliament House; $75 from suburbs to suburbs; and $95 from suburbs to suburbs.

The Commonwealth says that breaking up the total travel cost in that way, using the manual system of payment processing and describing the trips as to and from suburban destinations, shows Slipper was trying to hide his misuse of his cabcharge.

He must therefore, it says, have had the requisite knowledge or belief of his alleged wrongdoing.

Slipper repeated the same procedure on winery excursions on April 19 and June 27, 2010, with bills of $495 and $362 respectively, broken up into multiple manual vouchers.

Tony Abbott is in real trouble.

In less than 3 years - his expenses - real and imagined have cost the taxpayer $4.26 million and he was only in opposition. How much will he cost the taxpayer in the future as prime minister? Have we even heard an explanation or apology from him? No- Abbott's persona is built on arrogance and in his mid 50's -it's too much to expect to teach an old dog new tricks.



Abbott's expenses over 3 years....

I know, Abbott is terrible. Racks up a $300 billion debt and..........oh wait, wrong PM.
