Haylen used taxpayer-funded chauffeur for kids’ weekend sport run
Hours after the premier said the transport minister wouldn’t be sacked over a 13-hour round trip to ferry friends to a boozy lunch, further details of her car usage have emerged.”
“SMH

That usage is perfectly legal.

Nothing has been stolen.

No laws have been broken.

No policies have been breached.

But yeah, it doesn't pass the pub test.

But its stealing from the voters and taxpayers, its not the taxpayers job to provide money for her to hire drivers to take her friends out on drunken road trips. Its dishonest, its breaching the trust of the people, its unethical, its immoral and its just plain wrong.

You do know she's a politician, yeah?

Yes a dishonest thieving politician. I don't care what someone else done you are what your actions are, not what someone else did.

She didn't tell any lies, and she didn't steal anything.

All she did was make a poor judgement call that didn't pass the pub test.

I have heard that argument/ justification many times.
Drunk drivers who kill, Murderers, Fraudsters, Glady,Common criminals, shoplifters, etc , etc.

The judge rarely gives it any value in court. Why do you accept it?

They are all greatly sorry, once caught.

Except she stole money from the taxpayers to go on a drunken road trip to impress her friends.

No.

She stole nothing.

She's living rent-free in your head though.

Reply #35 - Feb 4^th, 2025 at 7:59am She made an apology, so nothing to see folks, move along to the next apologies get out of Gaol free card. She really should do better and at least take a trip overseas at taxpayer's expense. The apologies remain the same though. She's got a lot to learn.

“ Politicians are allowed to use taxpayer funded cars for private functions. ”

Using it to transport your children too Saturday sports because your too hungover to drive them yourself is a breech.

If Minns can’t crack down on his own ministers rorts or what it really is, thieving, he needs to stand aside.

It’s not as if he will be missed in anyway judging his failure in government so far.

Only if they are there IN their political position, and not BECAUSE of it... it's not even a fine line.

They can go to a private function by guvcar as part of their duties - not just because someone invites them because they happen to be a politician.

It's not hard.

I’m going to contact my Federal Labor member and explain how this lack of leadership reflects on the labor brand and unless something is done I will not only not vote for her in the upcoming federal election but actively support those running against her.

It seemed awful upsetting to the staffer who took my call.
He suggested I should ring Lnp politicians offices as well regarding their corruption issues.

When I explained I do. He hung up? I found this very unprofessional but typical.
