Who cares
Trying to have an affair on the taxpayers clock when he has in the past got on his high horse and lectured about "family values" to all and sundry = public interest.
Add in his party leader knowing about this for six weeks and doing nothing including not telling the PM = a not happy ScoMo.
Another day and another idiot in the federal government causing self-inflicted damage.
You've got to feel for his wife and family right before Christmas. So much for him preaching family values

He was one of the first to call for Barnaby to quit.
Might turn out ok for the Nats. A safe seat going begging, rumour is Bridget McKenzie may make the switch to the lower house.
And if you want a bold prediction...
After the next election; Julie Bishop as Liberal Leader and Bridget McKenzie as leader of the Nats.
That is a bold prediction
. Can you imagine the old fuddy duddies in the Coalition voting for two women to lead them?!
.
Bishop would be a popular choice in the media polls but the ultra-conservatives on the backbench consider Bishop, like Turnbull, as being too left-wing. They'll never vote for her as leader which is why she didn't even make the final ballot to replace Turnbull.
You're right about McKenzie wanting a safe lower house seat. The risk is an independent might beat any Nat in Mallee as one did in Mildura in the state election. We'll then probably have another old fuddy duddy in Bernie Finn come out once again blaming other candidates for winning as to why there's few women in parliament on the Coalition side
