I'd say she's pretty keen on both.

People might think he's a bit on the ugly side, but then again so is Ron Jeremy if you know what I'm saying.

*edit* The quote system is borked sometimes. We really need to upgrade this 90s message board software somehow :P

The ALP have to keep quiet about Bananarby's lovers employment position as there will be a plethora of mistresses exposed in a tit for tit exchange :P Interesting that those in the LNP who want Joyce out because of his dealing over the water allocation are already pushing that he be asked to resign. I didn't think it would get to this point and in saying that the perception is clear Banararby is not on many Christmas Card lists.

Malcolm is out of the office visiting the Don next week leaving Barnanarby to hold down the fort.

Bananarby will obviously be the "Adulterer in Charge".

Yes the hypocrisy from the Government will cost them. Bananarby's position is untenable. I hope they keep him on.

Is this obscurantism, or is it just a reflection of the fact that our rules about domestic partnership, in the age of widespread de facto cohabitation, are pretty arcane and ambiguous (as perhaps they must be)?

If you have sex once with your housemate, are you partners? If you and your housemate sleep with each other casually but don't consider each other boyfriend/girlfriend, are you partners? I'm guessing for these purposes, the issues relate to things like nepotism and special treatment, and there may indeed be some things to look at there if Joyce and Campion were already in a sexual relationship when she left his office (which one tends to presume is the case, given the timeline). I expect it's a breach of a code of conduct to employ your partner in your office; but what if they already have the job before you get together? And, again, who decides at what point someone you have sex with becomes your partner?

If we're talking about the law, then the law needs to be clear about what it's referring to. 'Partner', therefore, probably means what 'de facto partner' means under law: someone you've cohabited with and had a sexual relationship with for a year. I hope that any other intended meaning is clarified; if not, perhaps it's about time that it should be.
