Potty Politics: Weird Moments

Happy right here.thanks

He has been summoned, not charged.

The Reith issue is.completely different. His entitlement was used without his.knowledge and repaid. Slipper has been caught numerous times and the cabcharge is obviously a concerted effort.to.defraud

So Reith's son stole his phone card? Then his son should have been charged and convicted.

[IQS.RLOW]

Who said it was stolen? Why should his son have been charged?

Phonecards aren't given to politician's children to use as they please. Reith either gave his son the card or the boy stole it. As Reith claimed at the time that he gave it to his son (probably to avoid his son being charged) - then he committed a fraud. If he hadn't been caught out - the taxpayer would have picked up the bill. Reith or his son should have been charged with embezzlement.

Dream on.

Shouldn't you be living in a cardboard box with Bandt?

The question is, how many others have been doing it, this and have been getting away with it at the tax payers expense?

I would think that there would be plenty of them who have done the same and worse. We've heard about them giving government cars to their children to get around town - so the rort would be widespread.

All those who are dishonest should be punished equally, but it is selective. I don't think much of Slipper, but like Pauline Hanson he's been targetted deliberately to help Abbott win an election.

It must be Howard's fault...

Abbott is naturally devious and sly. He doesn't need mentoring from Howard in that area.

I suppose eventually she'll get around to blaming Howard somehow.

But this claim is right up there for stupid.
