Why should anyone take moral lectures from Shorten
Mar 1^st, 2018 at 9:33pm

Seriously, talk about the pot calling the kettle black. I thought that Michaelia Cash's comments were a little OTT and uncalled for, but seriously why should anyone take a morals lecture from Shorten or Tony Burke? Both men are adulterers who left their wives for other women, just as Joyce did. I have no respect whatsoever for cheaters and hence no respect for any of these three men.

Do you just stay with somebody because you got together , what happens when grow older and find out you're completely different people and really have nothing in common ? Should you stay together because some non existent entity in the sky said so ? And ps Barnaby didn't fall on his sword because he played hide the sausage

So you don't discriminate between separation/divorce and adultery?

Leftwinger just got caught out because he constantly makes excuses for the Labor Party on impulse.

I'm not outraged. I'm bemused at the twisting and turning about the difference between separation/divorce and adultery. Wink

Sure she was OTT but that is her problem she needs to deal with it, bit reactive, why would anyone take moral guidance from anyone ? Suggests to me that you are dysfunctional if you do . As for any MP the types of people that generally get into politics usually have motives so I have no idea why they like hand wringing they are mostly full of crap.

Regardless who gives out moral lectures, Cash was wrong. The coalition members who support her (i.e. Dutton, Turnbull) were wrong to do so.
Merely because one isn't an upstanding stalwart model of goodness doesn't mean they can't make a comment on the big mistake you've just made.
To the average voter it would look like weaseling out of an error.

More like slandering innocent woman with nothing to back it up....Cash needs to put up proof of her accusations or quit in disgrace....Look at the outrage of exposing someone's adulterous behaviour when Barney was accused of something he actually did (despite the PM and Deputy PM refusing to go public about the affair) claiming it was a private matter....We now know the Coalition do not even believe their own bullshit!!!

As Michele Grattan wrote today, it is not Shorten giving any lectures on morals.....it is the PM with his new addition to the Ministerial Code of Conduct.
