She definitely has a side and definitely wants to make things more than awkward for Turnbull.

Obviously the Federal Government was an easier target than the one who just sacked her.

It's funny how some persons ignore any claims from sacked members of one government but take others as gospel
Meanwhile, the Premier that sacked her is apparently calling on the PM to consider the allegations that have been made against the Senator: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-03-24/ ... /100016180

The plot thickens

More conservative sex scandals

"...Nationals MP Michael Johnsen will take leave from NSW Parliament as police investigate allegations he raped a sex worker at a secluded Blue Mountains lookout..."

Wow wee

I suspect the lid is just starting to open. Not sure I can process all of this. Gobsmacking. Hopefully the alleged victim gets her day in court.

I wonder what Jen would say about the goings on all over the place :wink:

Finally, some conservative women get it:

"Loving your wife does not make you an icon for women: NSW Liberal MP’s message to PM"

"...The first female president of the NSW Young Liberals, Catherine Cusack, says Prime Minister Scott Morrison has failed to grasp any understanding of how diabolical politics has become for women...."

https://www.theage.com.au/politics/nsw/ ... 57dfw.html

Now Scotty, stop referencing yourself all the friggin time when women say they are being abused and raped

A sober analysis of the mostly self inflicted mess Scotty has got himself into:

Sounds like the right response, although probably preferable to take one’s underwear home and also not to smoke indoors. ;)

I trust we’re not such prudes that we’re horrified by the idea of someone having sex in an office.

It was the 80's - a very different time.
The days of long lunches.
No email.
No mobile phone.
No internet.
No faux outrage.
Life wasn't as serious then and was more fun in general as people were more liberal than they are now.

And there was such a thing as ministerial standards.

But yes (oops I started a sentence with a preposition :shock: ) what a different time it was.

No epidemics of ADHD, Collingwood still had 2 premierships to win (and some to lose) no feeling triggered, no paragraph after your signature displaying how sensitive to others you are.
