So he's setup and account to effectively steal hundreds of thousands of dollars, yet we're meant to believe he had a big win at the Casino and the money came from there, instead of the illegaly obtained cash?
Pretty convenient.
Footy Smarts - I do think she is worse than most; especially at such a senior level. Part of the stupidity of her lying is that she does it about simple things, and threats the electorate with contempt.
The Rudd coup wouldn't have been such a big deal if she consistently lied about how it happened, and continues to lie in the face of overwhelming evidence that it didn't go down the way she tries to claim.
This is no different, again, it's likely she was just stupid/incompetent and not knowingly complicit in the fraud (although I'm not as sure of that as I was a few weeks ago) but her inability to give a straight answer, or even give an answer that is consistent with the facts and isn't contradicted by other parties or documentation is pretty hard to believe.
She must know that when she tells these lies, that other parties who don't like her (ie, Tanner, McKew etc) are likely to call her out on then.
