Another reason our pollies are scum

Former senator Bob Day's debts waived, option also open to Rod Culleton


The Federal Government has agreed to waive debts owed by former senator Bob Day, after receiving advice that he may not be able to repay the money.

Special Minister of State senator Scott Ryan told a Senate estimates committee he decided to waive the debts in line with decisions made in similar cases in the past.

In April, the High Court ruled Mr Day was not validly elected to the Senate last year, due to a complex arrangement involving a building previously owned by Mr Day being leased by the Commonwealth.

It was recently revealed the Senate and Department of Finance were pursuing Mr Day and fellow disqualified senator Rod Culleton, seeking the repayment of their salaries and other allowances.

"It may be seen to be inequitable for the Commonwealth to recover the debt, given Mr Day performed his duties as a senator in good faith," he said.

"The [advisory] committee also noted Mr Day's personal financial circumstances."

Our pollies are vile filth.

Try using that one out of the excuse book next time you have a stoush with the ATO. "Look, I filled out my tax return in good faith but now you tell me I owe $8000. I can't afford to repay the debt." I'm sure the tax office will say "that's OK."

It is caring for the poor bankrupts.

Or put another way it is not much good pursuing a bankrupt for payments.

And knave

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Knave may refer to:

    A male domestic worker
    A rogue, a rascal; deceitful fellow; a dishonest man
    Another name for Jack (playing card)
    Knave (magazine), a British adult magazine
    The Knave, a Welsh hillfort also known as Deborah's Hole Camp
    In Knights and Knaves logic puzzles, a person who always lies
    Someone from Strabane


And a possible German connexion

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In English-language use it appears as a surname, for the following people:
