Politicians having affairs- does it change your vote?

[Herne Hill Hammer]

Perhaps they could fly him back to NZ and sneak him in amongst the 150,000 cows they about to euthanize.

They've given us some ripper politicians over the years.

Sir Joh, Bàaaaaaaaarnaby and Hinch.

 

[Bradesmaen]

Any criticism and he is off on leave (again). What a peanut. When the going gets tough Barnaby runs away. Its a common theme now.

I suppose it is better than yelling fake news and running away.

If he follows standard procedure, he'll be booking himself into a clinic next.

He's depressed himself making so many ****ed decisions.

Page 5 in the Oz. Anyone care to guess where it would have been had it been a Labor politician?

If Joyce were keeping Ch7's money for himself, the ATO would count his media whoredom as a second job and would tax that income accordingly.

So it's interesting that he can take a long period of leave from his main job, but he's apparently still fine to perform his second job. My employer certainly wouldn't stand for that bullshit.

I think it's over for him. New England might end up having its second by-election within 12 months. He can't come back from this, and Auntie Gina will probably pay him more to be a lobbyist/"government liaison" anyway.

I'm searching feverishly for any mention of the michaelia cash latest on the murdoch sites right now..........

Where did Bananaby's 11 weeks of leave come from?

 

[JackOutback]

Where did Bananaby's 11 weeks of leave come from?

It's sick leave, I believe, which would have accumulated in his near 20 years in Parliament. But yeah, would be nice to get three months' paid leave for mistakes of your own making.

But didn't the High Court rule he was ineligible and was incorrectly elected and wasn't that the reason for the By-Election which he won about 6 months ago?

I know I'm being Pedantic, but....."the High Court did so rule"

 

[Lebbo73]

What a soft utensil.

Do you say that about everyone that suffers from depression as well?

Lol, as if you care about people who suffer from depression.

 

[Lebbo73]

She must suck the bedsheets up his arse for him to totally implode like this.

If I was Labor I wouldn't grant a pair - the situation is completely of his own making.

Most, if not all of these situations are of their own making. It doesn’t mean that people shouldn’t be allowed personal leave to try and fix or recover from it!

This isn't the first time I've seen it spelled this way on BigFooty.

Is this now an acceptable derivation of "by-election"?

Bi-election...a new twist on the Joyce sex scandal?

Apologies...fixed

 

[sherb]

Apologies...fixed

It wasn't a criticism, no need to apologize, it was a genuine question as I see this spelling regularly here......

Fair point.

I'd be interested to see how the leave of Politicians is treated.

I mean given all of them are on a Fixed term contract- their annual leave should be paid out at the cessation of each term of parliament.

Their sick leave should be voided after the cessation of that contract as well.

 

[Mofra]

I really wish we still had Clarke and Dawes available because a piece on Barnaby right now would be absolute gold - the $150,000 issue could become the new "the front fell off".

 

[Bomberboyokay]

Why come back at all ??

More sheep to kill ?
More water to steal ??

"Labor has granted a pair."

Which Labor MP/Senator is ******* somebody other than their wife?

 

[Bomberboyokay]

Gee this has gotten messy. Feel for his first family.

It is astonishing they were trying to bring this to public attention and the media simply put it in the "too hard, someone might talk about my affair" basket.

 

[JackOutback]

"Labor has granted a pair."

Probably several of them.

 

[NSWCROW]

Reckons he'll be back in 3 weeks
