Senior Cabinet minister Peter Dutton has been caught up in the continuing Jamie Briggs scandal, after mistakenly sending an offensive text message to a journalist who was covering the story.

The Sunday Telegraph's political editor Samantha Maiden received the message from the Immigration Minister on Sunday, in which he called her a "mad f***ing witch."

The text message was allegedly meant for Mr Briggs and was in response to a column the journalist had written that morning.

Mr Dutton has confirmed he sent the text and said he apologised immediately for the mistake.

Inspector Clouseau of the liberal party ... a bumbling idiot


On the other topic he is compared to Shane Warne, I can see both similarities.

Another gaffe from the microphone man!

But another gaffe by the dope stays on the record!

I probably have to agree with the libs here... everyone has sent a text or email that they regret.  Apologise and get over it.  People do trash talk a bit to each other (friends) when something bad/unlucky happens.  Like that b* bumped into me and etc etc.  Dutton likes gossiping.

Haven't we overlooked another relevant point?  Dutton meant to send it to Briggs, and it was clearly sympathetic to him, and critical of the critics of Briggs.

Despite this - the LIBs are still at 53/47

This shows what voters think of Shorten - a worser incompetent, lying, low-life POS.

I don't recall much sympathy accruing to Thomo - nobody likes a thief or a fool or a self-entitled ghett with an overblown sense of self-right.

Dutton was wrong - as a person in a position and using a government paid for phone, he should be sacked, as would any public servant caught doing the same thing.

What sympathy?

Wong steps in and throws Turnbull a hospital pass.  Turnbull will publicly evade, but I'll bet he is ropable.

Link.

Another thing of interest.  How is it that Dutton has her mobile number?  Is she on his "who to leak to" list?  Makes sense that she is, given how quick she was to accept his apology and just brush that obscene and abusive remark aside. 

Slipper fell on his sword for something not much worse which was:


Quote:

said: ''Funny how we say that a person is a c..t when many guys like c..ts.'' About five minutes later Mr Slipper began what the Opposition has called "'vile anatomical references''. Referring to women's private parts, he said: ''They look like mussell (sic) removed from its shell. Look at a bottle of mussel meat. Salty C..ts in brine.'' That day Mr Ashby attempted to get the SMS conversation back to politics, but Mr Slipper persisted. slipper "Been to thw (sic) fish shop yet to buy the bottle of shell less Mussells (sic)?''

Good job, Maqqa. You're following the formula. So far - a nothing to worry about, followed by a Craig Thomson and now the polls.

How about a "there will be no carbon tax under a government I lead" quote to finish it off?

It's pretty easy for a party to have an unchanged lead in the polls when there haven't been any polls for three weeks and won't be any more for another two.  ::)

Lets not forget Dutton was criticising the witch for daring to criticise Jamie Briggs behaviour towards another witch....Both men have shown appalling behaviour!!!

This is a compromising position for Dutton. It may not look like much but he is seen as subtley sexist and that can only hurt more as the years progress.

The slipper stuff will come up as soon as the dutton stuff comes up and I for one would hate to be a supporter of copper internet with the rest of that on my tail.

This is the whole reason Turnbull is looking at enforcing standards: to get out of the crap of being slightly better than shite.

Yeas, he does, and his only choice is to remove them.  They are all his intra political enemies and the only reason he is holding back is not to add fuel to the fire the extreme right of the Libs have burning.  They want Abbott back.

Funnily enough.....I hope they succeed.  Abbott, and how Turnbull handles him and his supporters (there are many.....from recollection....it only needs five who voted for Turnbull to switch vote to Abbott) in Parliament is the key to a Labour Party win next election.  I'm sure those who have an ounce of brain within the Liberal Party know that, and they do not need me to tell them.

There was no vote of 'no confidence.'  Wrong again.

yes there was....

PETER SLIPPER resigned as the Speaker of the House of Representatives last night when he came under pressure from key independents despite surviving by one vote a motion to dump him.

Mr Slipper quit his post after being told by the NSW independent MPs, Tony Windsor and Rob Oakeshott, that despite them voting against yesterday's no confidence motion in the Speaker, they could not continue to support him and he must resign for his own good and that of the Parliament.

The government was aware of the exchange and did not resist.



Mr Slipper survived by 70 votes to 69 after Tony Abbott moved a motion of no confidence, triggered by texts Mr Slipper sent his former staffer James Ashby.

Mr Slipper apologised for the text messages but this did not placate his critics.

At 7.20pm (AEDT), he entered the House for the first time since April when he stood aside, pending sexual harassment allegations. Choking back tears, he announced his resignation ''with great sadness''.

''It is in the interests of the Parliament that I do choose voluntarily to stand down at this time,'' he said.

Mr Slipper will continue in Parliament as an independent backbencher. The Deputy Speaker, Anna Burke, was chosen to replace him last night. Ms Burke is the third Speaker in this term of Parliament - a record. Nationals MP Bruce Scott was elected Deputy Speaker after the independents sided with the Coalition to defeat Labor's choice of Steve Georganas.

Labor now needs five of seven crossbenchers to win votes on the floor and will routinely need the support of either Mr Slipper or the former Labor MP, Craig Thomson.

Earlier, Mr Slipper tried to defuse the situation by apologising for the text messages which contained vulgar euphemisms for female genitalia and one described the Liberal frontbencher Sophie Mirabella as an ''ignorant botch''.

Mr Slipper said although the messages were private, ''nothing excuses their content''.

''I understand why people, particularly women, would be offended by these statements and I unreservedly apologise for them,'' he said.

Mr Slipper initially survived yesterday because three crossbenchers, Mr Windsor, Mr Oakeshott and Adam Bandt, voted with the government.

Mr Windsor had visited Mr Slipper at lunchtime suggesting he quit but he resisted. When he and Mr Oakeshott visited Mr Slipper while debate was raging over the no-confidence motion to urge him to go affter the vote, the manager of government business, Anthony Albanese was already there talking to him.

The Tasmanian independent, Andrew Wilkie, voted with the opposition, while Bob Katter abstained. He said he did not support Mr Slipper but nor would he support Parliament pre-empting a legal process.

Mr Slipper's resignation clears the way for the government to renew its attacks on Mr Abbott as a misogynist.

Mr Abbott said the Prime Minister could not accuse him of misogyny and then ''defend the indefensible''.

''It's clear that this Speaker is no longer a fit and proper person to uphold the dignity of the Parliament. You indicate your unfitness for high office as well.''





he choose to "voluntarily".. resign.. what a laugh... so he could get all his entitlements...

keep believing.. and twisting things to suit your facts.. >:( >:(

wrong Windsor and Oakeshott told him TO GO OR ELSE...

they voted for HIM ON THE NO CONFIDENCE BALLOT..that aussie claims never happened....

and they were giving him the chance to RESIGN...rather than be sacked......

there is a difference although aussie would never admit it..

It is on record that Gillard advised him to go.

Besides this has nothing to do with Slipper - this is about Dutton's case of mad witch disease.

Well, must say the media has certainly taken this brigg/dutton affair lot further than I expected.

As a guy, I suppose I did felt it was a small affair initially.  Clearly a lot bigger with a quite a few implications on the inner thoughts of males within the lib party (not lab, since it was the libs doing this one).

Even lib Stone had a few disapproving things to say about the incident. 

Ofc though, the lib supporters haven't really said any real bad things about briggs/dutton.  Only deflections...  Can a real lib supporter stand out - provide the same length of post as their deflections - to say how bad these boys are?

Again I have to ask the question, why does it seem incapable for Liberal supporters here to actually criticize the liberals, their policy or their politicians in literally any fashion?

Us Greens and Labor supporters criticize the parties all the time, I don't like the Greens gun policy, I'm not a fan of SHY, I think the Greens are weak on drug reform.

Labor, I despise the right of the party, their refugee policy, lack of real vision and factional backstabbing that often spills over into the media.

Why is it that Lib supporters on this forum seem to want to think the Liberal party is infallible and that Dutton is a worthy politician? Dutton is one of the dumbest people I've ever seen in politics, he's a potato why can't Libs accept he's dead weight and call for him to be thrown to the curb? Don't you want the best representing your party?

Has anyone here ever texted the wrong person???

I never have nor have I received a "sorry not meant for U" either.

Dutton should be stood down for stupidity/carelessness never mind the sexist remarks.

As for Briggs it seems he's an idiot on the piss(straight from his LNP peers) , being on official Australian Government business in a foreign country I suppose the fact he only put the hard word on a Australian PS on same trip could be counted as a blessing.

Imagine if he put it on the HK's Communist leader's daughter?

But then again the posts from the usual suspects implying that all chinese women love a bit of white dick & she asked for it looking all slanty eyed at him during dinner would have been interesting reads.........I suppose.

Reminds me of Maria's post on bishopgate scandal.  She kept going on and on about other labs - can only deflect.  Would it hurt for once to have a simple post to reject bishop's scandal?  Or about a lib policy/politician? 

It's why i don't need to take the lib supporters seriously.  Because they can't seem to stick the topic/thread.

Dutton should keep up the Liberal tradition and be relegated to the back benches or resign like the.... actually lost count there has been so many.
