That's fraud Alby.

Should be goodbye from me.

What a sorry state our parties are in. Turd sandwiches and douchebags to pick from.

The problem is it isn't fraud. They are all 'allowed' to do it and they all do (major & minor parties and independents). It's been going on for years  .

Does Sco Mo do it

The PM gets given two houses to reside in: the Lodge in Canberra and Kirribilli House in Sydney. But when outside of Canberra and Sydney he claims the overnight travel allowance like everybody else and he has used the same excuse as everybody else too.

Poor old Libs are falling apart. Will be interesting to watch parliament next week.

Dutton is denying it but if what Bob Carr tweeted last night is true then that will add even more fuel to the bonfire.

If Dutton is denying it, then you'd expect Dutton to sue Carr for defamation

I see one of dams followers have finally turned him in.

As a result of breaking party rules she won’t have a job pretty soon. What a very honourable group that if you don’t follow the party line you are sacked.

MT any comments to share ?

[1965]

You need to get your facts right.

[Francois Jackson]

Facts like the aged care you are still waiting on?

Sorry pal not interested in your useless opinion quoting msn or the abc.

Just waiting on MT to provide an opinion without towing the party line like that “they all do it” Which they do)

Just to clarify Frankie..

She has not gained pre-selection for this year's state election. That decision was made prior to her crossing the floor yesterday. A cynic might suggest her crossing the floor was payback for not getting pre-selection.

She has not been sacked (expelled) from the ALP; yet. She will be however as per ALP party rules. Is the rule right? No but that's what she agreed to when joined and even moreso when she got elected 3.5 years ago.

Not that i didn't know that, or importantly why i would i care one bit if she didnt gain pre-selection? furthermore, why would anyone care with a conscience?

It should diminish the need to investigate any criminal behaviour.

You have described this party in a nutshell. Their own party rules forbid anyone crossing or they are gonski. May or may not happen here after todays articles,  , but the truth is people within would be so scared to dare speak up hence why all the legislation and power goes to one person. Why would they cross, question legislation, and lose their jobs????

Imagine is scomo referred to a woman as "that person" Perhaps he should so we see the meldowns on here. Would be quite funny to see actually, however i dont expect much commentary about it now.

Fire and rain: Scott Morrison seems paralysed by disaster

Bushfires, Covid and now floods – Scott Morrison’s time as Prime Minister has been defined by crises. And so here we are again, wondering how much blame Mr Morrison should bear for the mismanagement of a disaster.

Residents in flood-affected areas of northern New South Wales are justifiably angry at the lack of support they received when the waters rose.

Many had to wait on their roofs for days before being rescued, or rely on their fellow private citizens for help. Essential supplies were sparse.

None of that is any one person’s fault, and there is blame to share between the state and federal governments. Mr Morrison has not been idle: he (eventually) declared the floods a national emergency, and announced financial support for those affected.

So I’m not for a moment suggesting the Prime Minister is solely responsible. But I do want to highlight his characteristic attempts to avoid taking any real responsibility.

Some Libs are thinking a change of Leader might help save some seats.
