Like I said, la la land.

Where have you been anyway lolly? You went missing for a while there. Was beginning to think you may have been sucked out of existence. I gather that's an occupational hazard for a lolly.

SLIPPER SLIPS INTO HIS LABOR PLACE

Controversy
The colourful MP is no stranger to controversy, hitting the headlines in 2003 for being removed from a flight due to complaints from staff.

Mr Slipper blamed his behaviour on painkillers he had taken after dental surgery, but found himself in hot water again in 2008 for allegedly risking the lives of Defence Force personnel by giving away their position during a tour of the Persian Gulf.

He also infamously linked asylum seekers to terrorism in 2001 at the height of the Tampa controversy.

The Opposition is likely to use these indiscretions in attacks on their former colleague along with questions raised over his spending and entitlement claims.

These all sound like standard liberal party operation normal.

Remember he's not joining the labor party. He wont vote in their favour for anything. He's an independent, pissed off with the nutcase liberals. End of story.

The Opposition is likely to use these indiscretions in attacks on their former colleague along with questions raised over his spending and entitlement claims.

Mr Slipper has had to pay back more than $20,000 in wrongly claimed entitlements since 1999.

It also emerged that he spent more than twice as much as Prime Minister Julia Gillard in travel expenses during the six months from July to December last year; racking up more than $31,000 in travel costs compared to Ms Gillard's $13,000. Grin

Hilarious!!!

AND THIS IS A GUY EVERYONE IS EXPECTED TO ACCEPT AS THE UMPIRE...SOMEONE WITHOUT PREJUDICE [damn]. some who cant obviously control himself.. but should do a good job of controlling others.. all at an extra $75.000 a year...gosh hope the old GG didnt mind dirtying her hands on this one.

dare anyone ask... what the hell was he using for tranport?? and why?

If the government is in 'crisis' then what state is the Opposition Grin

Well as we've seen in parliment, they're in melt down. Tony is doing what he does best, dummy spit. I thought he was going to cry more than once. Grin

He certainly needs some meds. The lunatic makes Mark Latham look self controlled. Leader of the country? He wouldn't even get to be a mod on this forum.

It's a smart move. They've been negotiating (there's that word again) this deal for weeks at least. Probably since day one of the parliament. Labor never wanted Jenkins as speaker, they just couldn't find anyone else to fill the spot. Now they have.

An as I said before cods, Thompson hasn't even been charged. If he is then that still doesn't change anything. He would need to go to trial. Meanwhile he would be quite entitled to maintain his position just the same as Mary Jo was when her case was before the courts. Look how they managed to drag out that simple assault charge for a week. The Thompson case would be orders of magnitude more complicated. Imagine how long that will run - and then there'd likely be appeals. All that would take ages and we'd be well down the road to the next election and beyond.

Think what you like about Thompson but you can pretty safely kiss goodbye any hopes you have for that one being a game changer.
