Well she collided with a kid on a bicycle, at least thats my reading of the artricle.

no one refused anything. It simply wasn't offered.

Better stick to your climate misinformation lee. At least you can camouflage your BS better.

I do have one fact - she wasn't breath-tested as she should have been.

And the police involved have been disciplined for this error. I realise that Bolt loves his political witch hunts but the only party at fault here were the police.

Amazingly incredible that the one time a copper "forgot" to do their simple job.....it was a Labor politicians wife......but never mind, the officers have undergone extra training so nothing to see here. Move on.

Clearly not all animals are equal.....as a truckie all the times I've been pulled over by Vic Pol or Vic Roads I've never seen them forget to check any thing, infact they tend to keep on checking until they do find something, like a loose wire to a clearance light, then its "ah hah... see another irresponsible unroadworthy truck,....hero's one and all.....how strange is that?

The bullshit argument here is that the (future) wife of the Premier had an accident whilst she was drunk and the police let her off....The implication is that political influence was used to get off a serious driving offence....There are also those who claim there are different standards for those on the left as opposed to the right....

Exhibit A

Quote:

Former WA treasurer Troy Buswell's chief of staff attempted to deliberately conceal crucial details about her boss's late night crash in a ministerial car, a report by the state's corruption watchdog has found.

Fixed.

how can you possibly know that

the police refuse to release documents...

this kid looks like he had serious injuries and not a word from Mrs Premier... Angry

I bet if it was Mrs Abbott the left would be bellyaching..

I was really really sneaky, cods. I secretly crept on and evasively read the link in the opening post. Nasty of creepy me, I know.

Damn right she should have been breath tested! The fact that she wasn’t should lay firmly on not only the police and their leadership, but the minister for police at the time Now which government was in charge of Victoria when this occurred and should have demanded an explanation of why and how this failure occurred?
