I have not given Bishop a high five over this... not once...

and how many lefties can you name with integrity where they have even scolded Bill for the 40 grand????>>.

I havent seen one..

they dismiss it as if it didnt happen.

greed. But if a politician - any politician - can't see the folly in charging taxpayers $5k or so for an 80km helicopter ride, then I don't think they have a firm grasp on what the public expects of them. I also have to admit that Bishop has probably been one of the most biased Speakers in recent times. At first I thought it was fun, giving Labor a bit of an upper-cut. But now it's just distracting from the work the government is trying to get done and they have enough problems without having to deal with allegations of bias in the Speaker. If you ask me, the Speaker should not be an elected official. It ought to be a position independent of any political party that must be applied for, just like the Clerks of the House and so on. It's the only real way to have any semblance of impartiality.

absolutely I said it since the beginning she is wrong was wrong.. but the way Labor has leapt on this is astounding

to watch Bowen pontificating in shortens place...because he knew shortarse couldnt step up and say we want a police investigation knowing full well only a few days before he had tried to cover up a $40.000 electoral donation.....one that SMACKS of conflict of interest.. if he should ever reach the dizzy height of PM..how much work would flow to Unibilt..very awkward

imagine if that was Abbott he would be gone in a flash...
a Lib Premier went for a bottle of wine froma lobbyist

Unibilt is a company that supplies Labour.. a bit like Therese Rudd one can only presume...

isnt that a giant conflict of interest???...

does anyone with an y reason understand why bronny took that helicopter....I am sure she is asking that very question herself....but how many mistakes has she made??... are any of them equal to Bills???????

Corruption doesnt discriminate with a $ figure , be it a bottle of wine or 40k , they're public figures that take an oath to serve the electorate . Corruption is quite simply corruption , im for a federal ICAC but neither Lib or Labor are for obvious reasons.

I've said it before - Malcolm Turnbull belongs very firmly to the Left of the Liberal Party, and would make the perfect Labor Party leader.

God knows he's been trying to assassinate Abbott's credibility over every issue since the last election.

Even after side-lining Turnbull to the insultingly junior portfolio of 'Communications', this hasn't been enough to shut him up from trying to hobble Abbott at every opportunity.

Bringing back Bob Carr as Labor leader is another not-too-far-fetched alternative.

Personally I'd like to Mark Latham returned as leader if for no other reason than entertainment value. He's the "Conga-line of suck-holes" originator. He would be going at Abbott like a rabid dog in parliament. The public galleries would be standing-room-only with people enjoying their salted and buttered popcorn.

Malcolm Turnbull lost my sympathy when it became known that he never stopped button-holing and bullying poor little Brendan Nelson in the corridors, the toilets - ANYWHERE - during the time Brendan was Opposition leader. Drove him mad.

That sort of narcissistic 'me-me-me-ism' pisses me off in these elitist, born-to-rule, self-adoring wanqers.

Abbott's shoving him off into 'Communications' still hasn't stemmed the tide of unsolicited advice and opinion that flows so freely from his ever-smirking self.

Shorten

he

covered up an inkind donation to the value of $40,000?

No one else picked that up. I thought maybe he did sign something, not that I know of though.

That was discussed here and widely at the time. A Labor Party underling completed and signed the document. It was then sent to the AEC as a matter of course. The underling omitted the donation. The omission was only discovered just before Shorten was due to appear before the Royal Commission and was rectified after Shorten's Lawyers established all the relevant facts.

you know the one who didnt DECLARE $40.000 DONATION FOR 8 LOOOOOOOOOONG YEARS...

my goodness I know $5000 is a lot of money... almost as BIG as $40.000.....

one scalp..two scalps...

come on BILL

you cheated on your missus....

you cheated on your union members...

you cheated on TWO PM.....

you even lied about talking to Rudd before you Killed off Gillard....

you are a SUPER LIAR AND CHEATER.....

in fact I cant think of anyone with such a appalling record....

come on guys....$5000... against that list.

you have got to be kidding!!!!

Grin

I think the difference here is that Bishop misused taxpayer funds, while Shorten didn't. Yes, he still did the wrong thing, but he didn't do it with public funds.

no ap. shorten told a lie on the forms he signed at the time of the election........what donations did you receive....

tax payer fund or tax payer rules....either way.. he didnt declare a whopping $40.000 donation....one of the strict rules by the electoral commission....
he coughed up the declaration two days before hw went into court...bishop is repaying the $5grand...

whats the difference?????????????

they both did wrong..

they either both get away with it.. or both heads roll..

Agreed. But if a politician - any politician - can't see the folly in charging taxpayers $5k or so for an 80km helicopter ride, then I don't think they have a firm grasp on what the public expects of them. I also have to admit that Bishop has probably been one of the most biased Speakers in recent times. At first I thought it was fun, giving Labor a bit of an upper-cut.
