You are talkin shit Swan 42... nothing to do with her performance as speaker as she had to contend with a pack of dogs on the Labor side who acted like ferals. It wont change either.
50% of the Labor members are ex union officials (fact) so you wouldnt expect anything different. Still think they are running a corrupt union and acting like thugs and thieves they are.

If you watched Q and A time in the parliment you would of realised what a Jerk Burke is and he should Resign.. His media service the ABC wont push it though as they are a bunch of lefist journo's (and I say that loosely)

Cardy I am unaware of any other Speaker who has taken it upon themselves to interject from the chair. She was an absolute disgrace as a Speaker and I repeat her performance as Speaker is the reason why the ALP was so determined to ensure that her only option was to resign or to face a motion of no confidence.

How shocking that the Australian Labor Party would have trade unionists as Members of Parliament.

As a matter of interest I have watched many Question Times from the House of Representatives, Senate and also other Australian Houses of Parliament, None of the Speakers, Presidents of those Houses of Parliament were within cooee of the bias that B Bishop practised in virtually every ruling she made. In one particular instance she ejected an opposition member for laughing.

As a matter of interest which party was John Elliott the President?

Total disgrace to think he can just charge that extravagence up to the aussie worker.

It seems OK for Labor Pollies to flaunt but scream when others do it.

LS I believe that C Pyne has stated unequivocally that the ecpense claim that you are referring to was completely within the guidelines. If what Bronwyn Bishop was of the same ilk why did she resign? IS it analgous to the AFL fining Melbourne for not tanking.

And old burke better not start talking too loudly from now on! In 2009 the long suffering taxpayer was charged $48,951 for a six-day ministerial trip to Europe, including first-class flights for a senior adviser. Two other accompanying senior advisers weren’t so lucky, they had to suffer in business class. During his time as arts minister, Burke’s department spent more than $50,000 on functions in just six and a half weeks. And apparently racked up $225,000 in overseas travel costs in 2008-09. Would he have spent that amount of his own money I wonder?

Pyne will probably hide behind those 'guidelines' too! All those numpties seem to be making a habit of it lately! He probably did not receive joes memo either?

Both sides have had thier collctive snouts in the trough, funnily enough they are all lovey dovey now together. Funny when it hist em all on either side they all get very chumy with the "other side"

Got this on my email WAG... Very appropriate..

I suggest Bishop withdraw her resignation on Monday and advise the parliament she will resign if Burke etc resign along with her.. Now that would cause some mayhem





I hear on the radio that that further evidence is being presented by building industry claimin evidence at the corruption inquiry to advise what Shorten said under oath in regards to his Lurks and perks was false.
Hmmm Mr Shortens days could be numbered. It is a classic case of the present AWU are covering their arse but if they what they present is true Shorten has committed perjury as he gave his evidence under oath...

And did I hear correctly where old Bronwyn is STILL BEING PAID, even though she 'resigned'!? Or am I hearing things? Apparently receiving her wage of over 2,ooo $ a day until another speaker is appointed??!!

Now this comes to light.
