Don't rush to judge Sinodinos: Turnbull

Senator Sinodinos also repeatedly said he couldn't longer recall several details relating to his time on the board of AWH from 2008 until he left for parliament in 2011.

In short -
Q. How can you tell when a Politician is lying?
A. When their lips move!

Q. What is MORE UNBELIEVABLE, than a Politician telling a lie?
A. The majority of what they don’t say!

I look forward to a "balanced review" of Politicians doing both Right & Wrong.

Personally, I suspect there may be a few more entries on the "doing Wrong" side of the ledger!

If Sinodinos can't remember all those allegations thrown at him, being paid such huge salaries, he is either a blatant liar, or so incompetent that he should never have been placed in the position of Assistant Treasurer.
What is really galling, is, that the opposition is also reluctant to force Sinodinos to resign from parliament completely, because he was involved with Eddie Obeid, who was a Labour power broker.
What a sad affair, when Australia is governed or manipulated by people like Obeid.

I think we need a new law.

If you cant remember, we will tell you what you did.

Funny how when they're in the shyte they always develop early onset Alzheimer's.

Dear O dear O dear ... John Smith ~ tell me it isn't so.

Is it 'Nature' or 'Nurture'? one asks. Nasty habits from the Old Country do seem to die hard, John. What was the phrase Pickering used? 'Risen like buoyant faecal matter". The names that have been floating to the surface as the ICAC inquiry has continued ... Eddie Obeid Moses Obeid Son #2 Obeid Nick Di Girolamo Morris Iemma Joe Tripodi (was once told to stop sexually harassing women in parliament) Michael Photios Paul Nicolaou Arthur Sinodinos Jesus. Dear O dear O dear ...

Not much talent or ethics in the current lot of politicians is there.....The system makes politicians adversarial towards each other which in turn leads to the public either becoming cynical or picking sides and perpetuating the division in society of us and them.....Good policy comes second to vested interest and the quest to gain or retain power by people with little talent and giant egos.....The way politicians act reflects on all of us poorly as a society that would tolerate such crap!!!

That you may retain your self-respect, it is better to displease the people by doing what you know is right, than to temporarily please them by doing what you know is wrong.
