"Stuart Robert, whose daily rollcall of horror yesterday included the revelation that Chinese squillionaire Li Ruipeng had staged a meeting in his office a few years back and, over dinner, handed out Rolex timepieces worth a total of $250,000 to attendees, who included former PM Tony Abbott, Mr Robert himself and his friend, the Liberal donor Paul Marks, the diabolical web of whose Chinese operations are exactly what is currently causing Mr Robert such heartburn.
The watches, which Mr Li had doled out of a plastic bag, were returned when everyone realised they weren't actually fake, as assumed.
The ABC's Uhlmann, meanwhile, reported that the classic footage of former prime ministerial chief of staff Peta Credlin tearing Mr Robert a new one actually depicted a spat provoked by Mr Robert's demands that the then-PM sign a souvenir tie for Mr Marks.
Raising our voices over the increasingly insistent Benny Hill soundtrack of the week, it seems a good bet that M
r Robert is edging towards the departure lounge, where he would join Jamie "This Bar Is Surprisingly Crowded" Briggs and Mal "What Diary?" Brough as potential vacancies
- beside Messrs Truss and Robb - in the federal ministry.
All of which means that a new and enthusiastic Government that was determined to talk about "jobs, jobs, jobs" is ending this week doing exactly that; as in, who's getting what, and when.
