hes a Union rep with some clout which means hes ones step away form the labor front bench...
at the moment he is holding Albo to ransom in the court and it doesnt look all that good for Albo...
if Setka comes out in front then it will be a huge feather in his cap......I cant think where that will leave Albo... sheeeze
would he have to apologise....ouch!
hahahahhaha
Setka is not going away, Anthony is making no headway against a union thug.
Anthony started a battle he cannot win. Really, a bad idea.
Where has Anthony been lately, in hiding?
last I heard he was in WA listening....lolol....trying to be invisible I would imagine..
hes pretty insignificant from what I have seen so far.....the party must be tearing their hair out.
Isnt parliament sitting this week?
He is in Parliament in that case!

I don't watch Question Time as I get fed up with the antics of people shouting across the floor at each other and acting like a bunch of school brats. Besides, those Questions are written by somebody in the Department for the MP to read out.
In one position I had in the Public Service I was Ministerial Liaison Officer and when Parliament was sitting, the Minister's Office would be on the phone to me, yapping on about something they read in the morning newspaper and asking whether I could write a PPQ (Possible Parliamentary Question), sometimes I just said "Nah, storm in a teacup" or something or if I wasn't sure I would ask the Boss, who at the time was the FAS (First Assistant Secretary) of the Department and he would give me the nod one way or the other. Most times he just left it up to me to decide. He had more important things to do.
Ditto to the public who write to the Minister to whine about something or other .... the correspondence gets passed down to the area of the Department that is dealing with it ( and called Ministerials) and a junior clerk could end up writing the reply (ticked off and signed by somebody higher up). It's a joke! But you can feel
very important.
Certain people would love it.
It gave me the insight of just how ridiculous it all is.

it makes sense nef lets be honest how can a minister have knowledge of every detail its impossible...
I knew someone years ago who was secretary to Rex Connors the labor member for Wollongong...she too was in that position she spent her morning reading every newspaper and sorting out the items he needed to read and be aware of.... she was in control of everything he read....
