The fuss about one concert not paid for by the taxpayer is such a funny complaint coming from the same people who supported John Howard attending every major world wide sporting event for over a decade fully paid by the tax payer. Yes we paid for Howard to go to the UK to attend the Lords test match and probably Wimbledon etc ?



in case you have forgotten JOHN HOWARD WAS THE BLOODY PM>>>...... ye gods....

as far as I know she is NOT  the PM... gawd help us.

LIBS ARE NOT DOING ANY ACCUSING   

ITS HER OWN EX STAFFERS........ Angry Angry Angry Angry Angry


JESUSSSS WHY DONT YOU TRY READING OPS   OR IS YOUR COMPREHENSION NOT KICKING IN  YET,.


Glad you cleared that up for me, I was unaware that the PM was entitled to waste tax payer money attending world wide sporting events that mostly have nothing to do with his job.

Gosh the poor Lefties are engulfed in such fear and terror as they see their HERO Wacko Willy being shot down in flames right before their eyes by a mere woman and her dog bog.

Emma is a Gift from God Above for triumphant Mal just right after his triumph at the weekend by-elections when he saw Wacko Willy the worst Opposition "leader" in Australia's history cemented onto the Labor Throne and his greatest fear Albo Sneezy relegated as a has been.

Mal must almost feel like calling an election just to put the chaotic brothel Labor Party out of its misery for the next 20 years or so.

How much more can the dejected defeated Lefties take ?




Husar case is whiffy and voters expect it to be dealt with
JANET ALBRECHTSEN 12:00AM AUGUST 1, 2018

Like the image of Bronwyn Bishop emerging from a sleek and expensive helicopter at taxpayers’ expense, one similarly grating image will dog Labor MP Emma Husar until she leaves parliament: the photo of one of her employees leaning over to pick up the excrement of Husar’s dog reeks of a publicly funded boss who has lost sight of what’s acceptable in the real world.

Bishop was in parliament for almost 30 years, so maybe that’s her excuse for failing the pub test. It’s no excuse, of course, but it happens. Husar is a rookie Labor MP who won the marginal NSW seat of Lindsay at the 2016 election. What explains her snout seemingly being so deep in the trough of entitlement that she thought it appropriate to expect her staff to pick up her dog’s excrement?

It’s bad enough that MPs misuse taxpayer-funded entitlements. Husar is being investigated for misusing employees. So far, the claims against Husar are unproven and the ALP has appointed Jack Whelan to investigate the allegations internally. While Whelan’s report may be referred to the state party’s administrative committee, all eyes are on how Bill Shorten will deal with this.

In the lead-up to the Super Saturday by-elections, the Opposition Leader did everything to deflect Husar’s troubles so she wouldn’t interfere with saving Labor MPs in Longman, Braddon, Perth and Fremantle. In a case of out of sight, out of mind, Husar went on leave. But with Shorten’s win behind him, will he now try to save Husar, too?

That will surely depend on whether serious claims against her are found to be proven. In an office that has seen staff turnover of more than 20 in just two years, one former staff member claims “everyone had a turn in being her slave”. There are claims Husar called staff members “f..kwits” and “c…s”. One ex-staff member said people in her office were afraid to go to work. Husar reportedly instructed one male staff member to do the dishes so he could learn about “white male privilege”. It is also claimed that staff members were expected to babysit her children, perform other household chores and pick up after her dog. Another staff member described Husar as “rude and aggressive and intimidating and just cruel”. A Labor volunteer claims that as a direct result of “constant verbal abuse” by Husar, he spent a month in a psychiatric hospital.

Husar says many of the claims are “lies”. But if serious allegations of bullying are proven, she should be sacked because the voters of Lindsay deserve better than her. At the workers’ party in particular, misusing and abusing your staff ought to be a heinous crime that attracts heinous penalties.

So far, Labor’s defence of Husar has been riddled with nonsense and hypocrisy. Labor MP Mike Kelly said he has no problem with a single mother of three using staff with taxpayer-funded salaries to help her juggle life as a federal politician. “It’s a small price to pay for having a truly representative democracy and facilitating the ability of women to participate in our parliament,” Kelly told Sky News last week.

It is an insult to single mothers doing it tough to suggest they would do what Husar, who earns about $200,000, is claimed to have done to her staff. Single mum or not, employers should not expect staff to clean up after the boss’s dog, or bully their staff.

Kelly’s defence of Husar is also an insult to representative democracy. If allegations against the Lindsay MP are proven, and we follow Kelly’s argument about representative democracy to its logical conclusion, does that mean we must fill parliament with a representative sample of bullies and crooks?

The Opposition Leader’s defence of Husar was equally dopey. True to form, Slippery Bill stretched credulity by claiming he knew nothing about this political train wreck until 10 days ago. And then Shorten asked voters to remember that this involves a “therapy” dog for her son, as if the mention of therapy makes Husar the bigger victim.

And on the weekend Husar took victimhood to another level. She told The Daily Telegraph that we needed more women in parliament and that she was “deeply concerned that the pile-on we’ve seen over the last week will scare off some young women from political careers”. Husar is right that we need more women in parliament. But her attempt to be the victim of a “pile-on” and then to turn this into an issue for other women is low-rent politics. If Husar wants to make this about gender, let’s turn it around. If a male MP were accused of bullying his staff and treating them like slaves, he would be cut adrift. A therapy dog would not save him. Gender aside, an employer has been accused of bullying staff and it deserves scrutiny. End of story.

If Husar’s predicament scares off some people from political ­careers, then it’s a safe bet those people — men or women — shouldn’t be in parliament.

This brilliant expose' of the deeply ingrained corruption in Labor continues...

Unfortunately, the Husar mess may have further to go yet. Questions are being raised quietly about whether her alleged abuse of staff started only when she became an MP or whether it occurred in her previous jobs. Her ex-husband, whom she has accused of domestic violence, doesn’t want to discuss family issues. “My priority is protecting my children and their mental wellbeing but I’m sure the truth will one day come out,” he said.

The prospect of more sordid details makes one wish this was just another routine story of an MP misusing taxpayer-funded entitlements. Husar has been accused of that, too: there are claims she used parliamentary entitlements to buy household groceries and charged taxpayers more than $2000 for limousine travel outside of the Comcar rules.

At least we’re used to this kind of vanilla — and very bipartisan — abuse of entitlements, if proven. It earns an eye-roll until news of the next rort, like reports this week that the Victorian Labor government has asked Victoria Police to investigate whether the Victorian Liberal Party misused taxpayer-funded entitlements by using government staff as campaigners in the lead-up to the 2014 election. That comes just days after we learned that Victoria Police’s fraud squad is investigating whether Victorian Labor MPs or staff misused parliamentary allowances heading into the same election.

Or news last month of another newbie MP, senator Lucy Gichuhi, who repaid taxpayers because she billed us thousands of dollars to fly a few members of her family for her “50th birthday plus GST” party last October. Would an ordinary worker think it appropriate to bill their employer to fly some family members to their birthday? Would it cross your mind? Cue another eye-roll. Maybe some in the class of 2016 missed the induction program about keeping snouts out of troughs.

Husar’s dilemma is altogether different. If claims of her abusing staff are proven, her political ­career should be over.

Even the most diverse and inclusive kind of representative democracy should not include this.

Mal is now on a roll all the way to winning the election especially now that, after the excellent weekend by-election result, Mal has the worst Opposition "Leader" in Australia's history pushing him over the winning line and doesn't have to worry anymore about the vastly superior Albo Sneezy.

It's enough to make a Lefty curl up and cry.

oh deary me   ltard will be upset...

sink hole emma has let him down AGAIN..tsk tsk..

https://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/national/emma-husars-former-staffer-says-...

EMBATTLED Labor MP Emma Husar has been forced to deny fresh claims about her treatment of staff, including that she was involved in ­“bizarre events” that included concealing the whereabouts of an employee’s daughter.

Angela Hadchiti, who worked for Ms Husar for six months as a political staffer, has claimed she received “insensitive and ­brutal” treatment from her ex-boss.

The single mum of three, the first former employee of Ms Husar to speak out publicly about her experience in the federal MP for Lindsay’s office, also claims Ms Husar allowed her daughter, Elissa, to stay with her for a month without telling her.

The MP has denied the new allegations, describing them as a “ludicrous fabrication of the facts.”

Meanwhile, Opposition leader Bill Shorten has rejected Ms Hadchiti’s claim that she and other former staffers had been speaking to his office about their concerns for “months”.

In an interview with The Australian, Ms Hadchiti says she was “subjected to Ms Husar’s bullying, harassment and obscenities” in her six months in the office from last August to early February.

She asked me on a daily basis to walk her dog and to pick up dog droppings. I saw her behaviour towards other staff. She called some ‘useless’ and said I was mentally unstable,” she said.

Ms Hadchiti, one of 22 former staffers who have lodged an official complaint against Ms Husar, has also alleged today that her ex-boss allowed her eldest daughter, Elissa, to live with her for a month and refused to tell her despite fears that her then 20-year-old daughter was missing.

The “bizarre events” started on November 11 last year, Ms Hadchiti told the publication.

Her professional relationship with Ms Husar had broken down to the extent that the MP had allegedly verbally abused her, ostracised her in the office and cut her off from Facebook and Instagram, Ms Hadchiti said.

Then her daughter, who had recently come out as gay, abruptly left home without any explanation and no contact for almost a month.

Ms Hadchiti only found out she had been living with Ms Husar “the whole time” from the electorate office manager in early December.

When the staffer confronted Ms Husar, the MP allegedly told her she was “too Catholic”, ­“homophobic” and “not understanding” about her daughter’s sexuality, particularly when same-sex marriage was about to become legal.

Ms Hadchiti told The Australian she had known about her daughter’s “coming out” for 18 months and that they had previously had a good relationship, although she had difficulty in coming to terms with her daughter’s sexuality.

She then claimed the situation became even more bizarre when Ms Husar invited her daughter to the office to work in her office but “ordered me not to talk to her”.

The first chance she had to speak to her daughter was in late December when Elissa visited home to give her two younger sisters Christmas gifts.

It emerged that Elissa had lived rent-free at the MP’s home but was allegedly required to perform chores such as childminding and looking after the pet dog and a rabbit.

Elissa, who returned home to live with her mother and sisters in the first week of January and remains there, told The Australian last night that she had become frightened of Ms Husar.

“It got to the point that I was afraid of her — of the retaliation I might face if I didn’t obey her,” she said.

“She (Husar) is always trying to suit her own agenda, and she made me feel like she was always right and I was wrong. She told me I had ADHD.”.

Ms Hadchiti revealed she had only decided to speak out yesterday after Ms Husar publicly dismissed allegations of bullying and harassment in her office as a political “stitch up” by former staffer Jeremy Anderson, his father former NSW police minister Peter Anderson and other former staff and branch members.

“There is not one staffer ­involved in this,” Ms Hadchiti told The Australian.

“I want to take the burden off Jeremy Anderson and his father. There are 22 of us, and we are in this together. We have been speaking to Bill Shorten’s office, to NSW Labor and to the union for months.”

Mr Shorten has rejected the claim, saying he didn’t believe it.

“I’ve made my own inquiries and none of my staff have confirmed that,” he told reporters in Sydney today.

Mr Shorten has denied knowing about the investigation into the complaints against Ms Husar before it was made public by BuzzFeed News last month.

The latest claims have emerged as an investigation continues into the complaints against Ms Husar.

Barrister John Whelan, who is conducting the independent investigation for NSW Labor, is expected to hand the party an interim report this week.

Yesterday, Ms Husar told Fairfax Media the complaints against her were a political “stitch up” by a disgruntled former employee and other Labor members.

She has also used social media to reject the allegations against her.

The MP has reportedly hired barrister Sandy Dawson SC to represent her.

When asked last night about Ms Hadchiti’s claims, Ms Husar told The Australian: “I reject completely this ludicrous fabrication of the facts.”

“If a friend comes to me in a time of crisis seeking support, I help them. I don’t turn my back on them,” she said.

“I’m not going to comment on the specifics of someone’s private life and their difficult family circumstances. I’m disappointed but not surprised that The Australian would breach someone’s right to privacy in this way.”

The publication reports Ms Hadchiti came to the newspaper of her own accord. She also gave her permission for Elissa to speak to the newspaper.

Ms Hadchiti and Ms Husar reportedly met because of her experience with domestic violence, which is a key issue the MP has campaigned on.

The Australian reports the former staffer was bashed so badly in 2014 she had a spinal fracture.

Her ex-husband was jailed for 12 months and deported to Lebanon in December after an intervention by Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton.

“I did go through a hard time in that office, and we (my family) went to counselling afterwards, but we’re over it,” Ms Hadchiti told the publication last night.
