They're falling like dominoes. NXT's Rebekha Sharkie is now under the microscope.

Now Malcolm will huff and puff and blow the house down.

Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has threatened to break with longstanding precedent and use the government's slim majority to refer any Labor MPs under a citizenship cloud to the High Court.
My perception is the ALP want Malcolm to refer opposition members to the High Court. C'mon Malcolm, do it.

The PM keeps pounding his fist on the table and nothing happens. He stated Wednesday he would not politicise his meeting with Bill Shorten and then no surprise on Thursday was on every news service bagging Shorten saying that Shorten said/offered nothing. Which contradicted what he said the day before which was they could not agree to terms. If Bill said/offered nothing then how can you not agree to terms? I'm pretty sure the PM is a Lawyer and if in a court of law you could rip through his statement. The PM is fast becoming the "Do Nothing PM". Abbott will mount a challenge soon enough.

When did this become a "crisis" topic? I've got the popcorn out.

It appears that Ms Hughes held an office of profit under the Crown after she wasn't elected (the first time).

So, in one fell swoop we have a minority government and a significant increase in the average IQ of our MPs.

Dropping like flies. Still at least a dozen politicians in the gun, too.

4 Labor pollies in the crosshairs too. I hope P4S chef can keep the popcorn coming, this could go for a while yet.
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.
