Another year, another polly on the ropes over expense claims. Sussan Ley has been on the receiving end of a media pommeling and the collective wisdom is she’s been a naughty minister. She has been dispatched to Coventry and the view is she should settle down and grow accustomed to her new home.
As an observer of various entitlements farragoes over the years, I think Ms Leys’ spending puts her in exalted company, somewhere between Peter Slipper and the guv’nor, Labor’s Mal Colston. Spending $21,000 in a week or so on transport is extraordinary. I didn’t even think it was possible. With those frequent flyer miles, you can forget about the carrot sticks and chardy in the Qantas club. It’s foot-long lobster subs and Moët by the schooner. Hell, they’ll get you your own plane. Maybe even let you fly it.
The Minchin Protocol always sounded like a bad novel and now as it comes to its denouement, it is about as satisfying as an EH Holden Mechanics’ manual or anything knocked out by Clementine Ford.

FMD·…..the best bowling management I’ve ever seen….
mebbe if china declared war somewhere somehow for some reason, we don;t have to go to India

Just read an article on the annual Nude Games at Adelaide’s Maslin beach and was surprised to discover that one of the events is the tug of war! Get with the programme SA. I know you may all be a little gung-ho down there, what with the subs and all, but us peace loving QLD’ers prefer the tug of love.
And they obviously run an arts and crafts and etcetera competition as well as I read that a chap named Dismayed won second prize in the Dried Arrangements.
love to qualify
He’d be cock a hoop with that. Or is that one of the events?
Considering Australian is probably Matty Cormann’s third language, Perks (one of the many Belgique dialects) being his first, it is hardly surprising that he has a different take on “A new Broome sweeps clean”. Give the bloke a break gals and guys, he’s working 2/7 trying to find savings in the budget. They could be at the back of Burke for all we know, and if there’s a polo match or a wine and opera soiree on my mob will find them!
Well it used to be my mob …..sigh…
Milton, there may be hope for you yet, maybe a I ❤️ Keaton’s t/shirt
Bah, that was supposed to read Keating….
Hhaha – I thought you meant Diane Keaton !! Who’s quite a classy lady…..
Jeez I wish I could to emoticons, Penny. Pick an appropriate one from me in return. Perhaps todays pollies could wear an “I Love Cheating” t-shirt!
Here you go Milton
😭💤👀👏👙🐢🌚🚗📞❤️🕓🇷🇺🔓🍷😜
Here you go Milton, this could apply to most politicians I ❤️🤑
Great little clip this one Mr Insider from a while back of the clever Jimmy Fallon doing a comedic “mirror” interview with the now US President Elect Donald Trump. Fallon and Trump good friends it seems.

Just “Clancy”. “Clancy Longfellow” sounds like a horse’s hoof.
Unfortunately all the pictures supplied are “pas de vetements”, sans la clobber, stark bollocky to you, and therefore not appropriate vis-à-vis workplace standards.
Here’s the inside running, she’s not a natural piebald but very attractive if a bit long in the face, great teeth which suggest connections to British royalty, withers to die for, and Gucci shoes. Well Chinese knock-offs anyway.
Sounds a bit flighty and easily distracted but if the right man put a set of blinkers on her she’d never look back.
No tatts, big bonus!
We’re forwarding a contact number and you can hear it from the horses mouth.
You win. Brilliant as usual JB. I doffs me hat to you.
just watched australia plus news, a bit on the inauguration ending with a view of preparations at the Capitol and saying that the next big event in DC will be the inauag, but suggesting that you never know.
don’t feel bad, I can’t play 90kmh straight breaks either…
Dismayed .
Not tuned in on earlier reply due to tablet must be on sick benefits jumping around .
You asked me where my info on American economics came from . Punch in John Adams editorial which I still have here on Obama and others from the Murdock camp .
Any more you know on Tommy Rediculous , Dismayed?……..Let it rip Boris !
Razor ….Thanks on comment earlier .
I have that issue at times with my iPad Rodent.I have to reboot it. I’ve put it down to old age – the iPad – not me!!
Perhaps the guts of it can’t cope with the upgrades.
But that’s Apple. I think their products are only meant to last a few months – until the next model comes out.

Robin put me onto the RAM idea. If you google how to get more RAM on an IPad you will see a couple of hacks that show you what to do including turning a couple of things off that you probably do not use.

Yes teacher it is.
For a start , Bin Larden gone , no major attacks in America since on a wide scale , Sadam gone , Women now freedom in Iraq displaying their pretty dresses , men now can date the ladies without geting hung by Sadam , women can work , gain an educations , roam around in public catching the whistling from the men , Bush returned to the golfing now Obama may join him out of the public , Bassman like the rest of us can still enjoy a beer less chance bombs going off as once told we are in danger, AFP closed down 49 possible terrorists plots here since Bob Carr in power , politicians must think it is safer dashing for the airports into resorts overseas on their tax funded junkets , Bill Shorten and Malcolm shaking hands talking about what a wonderful year they had drip-feeding the media frenzy looking like chooks just had seed thrown in front of them , I don’t see any asteroids coming this way Bass! So looks like we may see the next year out with NO disturbance with a little luck.
