Peter Slipper summonsed by Australian Federal Police

FORMER Speaker Peter Slipper could face the possibility of a jail sentence if found guilty of offences after being summonsed to appear in court over allegations he rorted his Cabcharge entitlements.

After an investigation lasting nearly nine months, the Australian Federal Police said it had served Mr Slipper with a summons "in relation to three offences of Dishonestly Causing a Risk of a Loss to the Commonwealth".

The alleged offences would breach the Commonwealth Criminal Code, if proven, and carry a maximum penalty of five years imprisonment.

The legal setback for Mr Slipper comes just a few weeks after the former Speaker had a major victory in the Federal Court when allegations of sexual harassment were thrown out.

Those allegations were brought by a former adviser, James Ashby, who also alleged that he witnessed Mr Slipper signing blank Cabcharge dockets during several visits to Sydney in early 2012.

The AFP, after an initial investigation, referred matters to the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions.

In a statement, the DPP said it could "confirm that the AFP have sworn an information and summons which alleges three offences against section 135.1(5) of the Criminal Code (Cth) in relation to allegations concerning the use of Cabcharges by Mr Slipper".

The DPP said it would be "inappropriate to comment further" as the matter was before the Canberra Magistrates Court.

The former Speaker has been forced to repay more than $20,000 during the past decade in relation to family travel and other entitlement perks.

In the past the party would have supported him and ensured he repaid the money before it was investigated by the police.....Similar to Peter Reith and the phone card affair.....Despite the fact it is directly against the rules to allow your family to use your government phone card and Reith's son racked up over $50K he escaped any punishment and avoided a police investigation.....Anyone else would have been charged with fraud!!!

Huh

According to some speculation:

Quote:

It is understood they relate to three Comcar trips in 2010, in which Mr Slipper - who was then a Coalition MP - travelled beyond the allowed Canberra region. The trips are understood amount to about $900.

The charges are believed to relate to Mr Slipper's use of hire cars in January, March and June 2010, when he was a Liberal National Party MP.

They were waiting for the natural progression toward labor or they were going to boot him. Gillard said, dont worry about your past, dont let those liberals push you around and get rid of you. We will gladly take you on, you are the right character for labor to align with.

When did that happen?

I don't remember the ALP ever choosing him as their representative

I don't think people need to be convinced slipper was liberal. He was repeatedly preselected by them over decades. And in the past they simply allowed his to pay off his corruption:
