Four Corners is going to be fun tonight

"Ex-PM Malcolm Turnbull is set to lift the lid on the culture of “boozing and screwing staff” in an explosive Four Corners tonight."
Gee, I wonder whether it was only a recent event. How far back will he go?

Tudge and Porter so far been shown to be complete hypocrites having affairs with staffers.

Porter described and shown as deeply sexist and misogynist.

Porter in particular is clearly a complete grub. Heard a whisper on twitter that there's more to come out regarding Porter as well.

Let’s hope they investigate every politicians personal affairs after this. So he likes to drink and *smile*?

Yes, he’s a hypocrite and would you want him near your daughter (or wife) but geez it’s a bit of a stitch up.

Its not about having affairs, its about a culture of sexual harassment and bullying of women in the workplace, from the party in government that has a ministerial code of conduct covering it.

Porter used his wife and kids quite a bit in the print and tv media promoting himself as the great family man in the lead up to the last election. If only his poor wife knew that he couldn't keep his *smile* in his pants.

Why has it been done in this fashion rather than does as a workplace sexual harassment claim?

Wasn’t their affair consensual?

I’m a 4 corners fan but this is A current affair territory.

Murdoch lacky Paul Kelly just got owned by Turnbull. Wish he'd shown that backbone as PM.

Hey Paul, half a million Australians just signed a petition concerned about the Mudrake press. This is much bigger than a couple of aggrieved former PMs.

Just finished watching 4 corners, they certainly didn't miss Porter. He was born into a life of wealth and privilege, his father and grandfather were politicians.

It is interesting how the media portray Australian voters as not being smart enough to distinguish Federal and State governments and vote according to their judgements of both. But there is certainly enough recognition of the different levels of government that people will vote differently when it suits.

Noticed One Nation's vote sunk by over 5%. Would be good to see the end of that mob.

Will disappear When Pauline runs out of enthusiasm. Not sure if it was the idiots attracted to her party or her own lack of ability to organise but she has blown whatever chance she had to create a genuine party.

People in politics getting pissed and shagging well kissing..... Breaking news.
Friend of mine was an ALP MP .... most of her stories are about late night shenanigans in parliamentary offices.

Agree with first sentence. q and a has degenerated into a real life version of Twitter in recent years , concept is good but went off course years ago. Speaking of Twiiter the feed at the bottom of the screen proves how debate reduces to slinging slogans. (For most people the most creative thing they ever post is their user name)

Could not care about the second sentence. Government by Royal Commission is just handing power to unelected lawyers.

I'd be really interested to see this expose you mention, especially if it includes testimony as credible as what was on display last night.

4 corners have some pretty serious journalists and have a reputation for integrity. Surely they would have exposed the allegations your making.

Why haven't we heard anything about it? I did a quick Google search of "Bill Shorten inappropriate relationships" but there's not much to be found. Perhaps you can point me in the right direction?

Don't be silly. If the Libs get caught then it means the ALP do it too but the left wing media refuses to point it out.
