This has to be investigated. No regard for us taxpayers.

Not surprised that the other parties aren't making more of Joyce charging us taxpayers for 50 nights of expenses in Canberra when Parliament wasn't sitting, because they've probably all got their snouts in the trough, but i'm surprised that the media isn't making it a big focus.

Yep, most of them go for every lurk and perk and bend the rule to the point of cheating.

And anyone wondering why we arent hearing a lot from honest Billy Shorten about old Barnaby leaving his wife and getting colleagues pregnant?
 
we are lucky we had Barnaby and his mates trying to save the sanctity of marriage last year.

One thing I am concerned about tho, raising kids without a mother and father is akin to child abuse, so should he be locked up for deserting his daughters and leaving them to a life of crime and depravity?

Maybe Shortens moral compass is still swinging to and fro

Wow! Those rumours are incredible! I'm shocked they have not been mentioned in today's papers and current affairs shows.

In light of some the expenses claims scandals over the last few years by numerous pollies, wasnt there going to be some sort of Oversight Committe set up to review pollies expenses?
I wonder what happened to it.
It seems defrauding the taxpayer is ok, carry on, business as usual all round.

The oversight committee wouldn't be policed too closely, as they do have a sense of entitlement.

Yeah.....

probably a bit over the top, unnecessary and ill-considered. so standard political talk.

if any left leaning pollies or green activists get shot in the future i know where fingers will be pointed, and rightly so.

Bandt criticized a fellow pollie, Christensen makes light of, and possibly incites, gun violence. days after another mass shooting in the states. I know what i see as a bigger issue.

“Criticise a fellow pollie”? He virtually accused him of war crimes!

Virtually? i think he did outright.
but he was verbally attacking another pollie for political purposes.
Christensen is glorifying guns and gun violence days after a school massacre while potentially encouraging his fans to act out his threat.
 
It's been a tough six months for Barnaby, the worst part i'm sure was when he found out he was a Kiwi :D ;)
 
I have just been reading on the ABC site about the dirty tactics being used in the Batman election. Elderly people were called and told they didn’t need to vote.

There needs to be a full investigation into who called and who was behind it. And there needs to be appropriate punishment as this is a disgrace picking on our communities most vulnerable. If any party is behind this they need to be fined and forfeit all electorate funding given by us tax payers.
