Title: Ministerial reshuffle
Post by Aussie on Mar 1st, 2018 at 1:40pm
With Mick Mac now promoted other changes will folow.  I doubt Cash will survive.

Good Article:

Link.


Quote:
It was a vicious and unwarranted threat which, even though not carried out, has already aroused grubby speculation about all women who have worked for Bill Shorten.

Senator Cash withdrew the unspecific claims of misconduct among staffers with the always-unconvincing rider, “If I’ve offended anyone.”

Well, she has offended many, as senior Labor women Penny Wong and Tanya Plibersek made clear.

“It was an unprovoked attack from a minister under pressure. Like so many of my colleagues, I am very lucky to have smart young women working for me. And on their behalf I am offended,” said Ms Plibersek, Deputy Opposition Leader.

The implications of Senator Cash’s comments were obvious in the aftermath of the Barnaby Joyce scandal. The former Deputy Prime Minister had an affair with a staff member who is now his pregnant partner.

Senator Cash was hinting at a reprisal against Mr Shorten for the embarrassment caused by the Joyce revelations, although why she blamed Labor is unknown.

She tossed out the threat as part of a tantrum, a collapse of the control expected in a minister. It was a further indicator for some she cannot handle the job.

Senator Cash is still struggling with the consequences of a former staff member last October tipping off media that police were about to raid trade union offices.

The reasons for the raids are largely forgotten, but not the tip-off from the Cash office, which still is being investigated and still being used as an unflattering measure of her performance.

The brutal outburst against unnamed Labor staff members was an indication she is losing that struggle, and her better judgment.

Cash is hanging on by a very, very thin thread.  One more gaffe, and she is toast, surely.

Link.


Quote:
Senator Cash had not — she said on Wednesday that she withdrew the remarks "if anyone had been offended by them" — but soon after Question Time on Thursday, she made a full retreat.

"I withdrew the comments yesterday and I am more than happy to withdraw them unreservedly," she said.


In other words, 'I've just had my arse handed to me by The Boss.'

Nah.....she is terminal.  It's just a question of time.

The white sheet is normally reserved for the dead or critically injured , kind of appropriate she hid behind one today

Now I know why you seem so stupid.

Cash Started raising Cain about rumours of females in Bill's office and sexual misconduct. Got shut down for daring to put them in the firing line. That doesn't mean that the rumours aren't true.

From Aussies link -
"She told a Senate committee she would “name every young woman in Mr Shorten’s office of which rumours in this place abound”."

I don't think she should have brought it up. But now you know - "rumours abound" about Bill and his, apparently, touchy feely ways.

Only in your tiny little brain. But I guess you MAY have a reference for Trump, other than retracted allegations. But I won't hold my breath.

The rumours about Barnaby were true; the rumours about Tony Burke were true.

My guess is the little cesspit that is Canberra has many stories it could tell. Rumours that are in fact true. ;)

Doesn't mean they're , let's be honest the libs are spending their entire time trying to bring Bill down instead of gloating about policy achievements , they evidently don't have any otherwise you guys would be telling us all about them .  Is it because Bill has been opposition leader since 2013 whilst you guys struggle for any direction whatsoever?

Nope. I want him to stay there. I am sure the Libs want him to stay there. Mr 31%. Now if Albanese were leader the libs would be in strife.

Then of course there are Bill's policies.
A special $1.6 fund for Wa to compensate for the GST. But it won't be a FIX for the GST. Too hard I guess.

All these spending policies that can either be funded by tax increases (unmentioned) or increased debt.

No; Keep him there. The Libs have a chance of winning even with Malcolm there while Bill is there. ;)

The way this government's gone to hell, Shorten can appear statesmanlike simply by doing nothing. Why interrupt one's political opponents when they are making mistakes?

Still, I say Cash is on the most thinnest of ice.
