Dear Sir/Madam,

Greetings Fellow National!

You are cordially invited to a polite soiree on my small and unpretentious yacht,

HMAS Perth

The purpose of the soiree is to raise money for my election campaign, and thus the small cost of $1000 a head, and all catering will be undertaken at Navy expense using Navy stewards, who will serve rum and bilgewater, which, alongside buggary and the lash, I am assured is a tradition in the Royal Australian Navy.

RSVP - and BYOWhips - Buggary provided free of charge.

One of your best.

I do but try, gentlemen and ladies. I can never exceed the excess of those we pay handsomely to govern over and watch over us..... Grin

my ex-wife and mother of my children received a phone call before after the Atherton Tablelands disaster, asking where I would like to be positioned at the memoriai service .. and, afterwards, asking why I could not be there... she rang me to tell me this while I was laid up in a Veterans hospital with a busted knee that took three years to recover .... I have ZERO time for politicians and their antics...

Not good. Right decision eventually. Gee.....I wonder if the same standard applies to the Speaker's Rooms in Parliament where, if rumour is of any value, Big Jobs Bishop hosted Liberal Party fundraisers?

in your own office??? u r very petty.

It is not her Office. It is a taxpayer provided facility in the publicly owned Parliament House. Do you believe the rumours or was it all just scuttlebutt?

you are the supposed lawyer. apply the laws of evidence.

That's 'rules of evidence' - evidence has no laws..... but then.. I'm no lawyer.....

you are quite the ignorant one.

Tour the ship.. kid's parties... chocolate wheel ...... entry a gold coin donation.... best way would be to set up Naval vessels as floating casinos and turn a dollar that way....

A planned West Australian Nationals fundraiser aboard an Australian Navy warship has been cancelled after it was deemed an inappropriate use of military facilities.

The $1000 per head fundraiser was scheduled to take place on board the HMAS Perth at the Stirling Naval Base this month, with Nationals leader Terry Redman and deputy Mia Davies among the special guests.

Always hated when the idiot pollies came around for their 'military photo ops', fkken beasley was the biggest pain in the @sre. Frggen wasting everyone's time pretending he was their to see how we were going, just there to get a shot playing with the toys. Angry

Beasley and cronies flew a chopper into a live template on the Puckapunyal range once and they had to order a 'check fire'

I didn't mind Beasley. .. especially when you compare him to k Rudd and the Witch ...Julair Gizzards

Navy nearly used for Nationals fundraiser

Probably better than some of the use they have been put to with respect to intercepting refugees on the high seas.

I say why not if it was just a boat sitting there doing nothing as long as the nats were paying the going rates and supplying their own requirements.

On the other hand it would bee real funny to see the ship sent to sea on a surprise drill or something. They typically have to be ready for emergency deployment and do get tested. (Like a fire Drill).

At one time my team had their server support contract and one of their ships went to sea with one of my team members on board. Lucky they didn't go far.
