Just so I am clear you all think Bruce Lehrman is telling the truth?

God knows, they sound all as bad as each other

That is true

And can I just say before certain posters start having a go at me

If the text messages supposedly about Gallagher are correct, she should at a minimum resign from the ministry

[Chuck17]

The more I read about this the more I think we are the only victims here with our taxpayer money wasted and having the bs posted all over media

I see Captain Blowhard's wife Lisa Wilkinscum only likes obedient indigenous people who have the right kind of views because clearly they're a monolithic group that can't think for themselves...no real surprise she's a patronosing racist hypocrite because most white leftists are when you scratch the surface...

I see a report into this voice garbage shows polls aren't as strong as they once were. They may change as i suspect it will with all industries paid off like the afl, What is shows is there are people out there don't give a flying stuff about it when compared to paying mortgages and bills. Fancy going head into something like this wasting tax payers money with inflation and cost of living not under control after 14 months in office and no sign of it slowing the rates any time soon.

Imagine Scomo was in power with the cost of living and rates this high, then going on socials blaming (deflecting to the RBA)

Senator Jenny McAllister says it’s fair for Senators to examine who had knowledge of Brittany Higgins’ rape allegation and the leaking of the former Liberal staffer’s private messages, though she stopped short of calling for an inquiry.

McAllister said she understood that “aspects of this matter” had been referred the Australian Federal Police.

“I’m not in a position to provide details about the approach that they [AFP] are taking and I also know that the Attorney-General Mr Dreyfus expressed his concern about some of these issues in the parliament yesterday,” she told ABC Radio.

“I don’t think an inquiry is necessary. I hear Senator [Andrew] Bragg’s call for that, but I do understand the concern he is raising about the overall way that the matter is being dealt with.

any comments from the alp greens cheerleaders on this one?

Dictator Dan looks like being Premier for a long long time.

Support for John Pesutto’s Victorian Liberal-National Coalition has slumped to a fresh low as Daniel Andrews’ third-term government maintains a powerful lead, ahead of a crucial byelection in the seat of Warrandyte.

An exclusive survey conducted by Resolve Strategic for The Age puts Labor’s primary vote 15 points clear of the opposition due to a dramatic drop in support for the Victorian Liberal Party, which has recorded a primary vote of just 23 per cent.

David Van. Guilty or Not Guilty?

[Andyy]

David Van. Guilty or Not Guilty?

Innocent until proven guilty.

Don't understand why this crap comes out in parliament as opposed to going to the police.

Also think all pollies should be paying 1-2% into their own indemnity slush fund so if someone needs an undisclosed payout they can all pay for it instead of me. Might actually encourage them to behave like adults with respect.

Seems like Mr Potato Head has already judged him guilty.

[Andyy]

Seems like Mr Potato Head has already judged him guilty.

Might be something to do with the alleged other party who also made a complaint but who knows.

Go to the effing police ffs

Opposition Leader Peter Dutton has this week arrived as an alternative Prime Minister.

He’s electable and Prime Minister Albanese should be very worried.

Dutton has changed both his demeanour and appearance and is calmy working his way towards the big job.
