Title: How Embarrassing
Post by Vic on Apr 26th, 2020 at 8:34pm
In The Age Today:

The Victorian Liberal Party is considering asking for federal government JobKeeper payments to keep its staff employed after donations to the party “fell off a cliff” during the coronavirus crisis.

The Liberals, who say they are considering their options, may lodge the claim for economic hardship despite selling their former headquarters for $37 million less than two years ago.

The party’s key decision-making group agreed on Thursday to allow state director Sam McQuestin to explore access to the payments despite some senior figures conceding it was a “bad look”. The party's weak financial position has left it prepared to defy the internal warnings about political embarrassment associated with tapping a multi-billion dollar bailout designed by its federal branch.

This is the curse of allowing political movements to be 'employers' - maybe Nick Greiner, still sucking on his stolen millions pa from 'privatisation' of NSW roads will need top-up as the 'employed' head of the Libs.

Poor little man...... ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Labor and liberal are both part of
our one party communist state.

It's not surprising to me.
