I'm sure the Libs would have done a deal to get his support, I actually felt sorry for the poor bastard when Gillard just brushed him aside.
What deal with the Libs?
You got one thing right feeling sorry for Wilkie, because he did nothing wrong and got dished.
He is still in the best position to help the plight of problem gamblers, so cut the "honour" bull**** Burns.

Well he has jumped into bed with the most despised government in my memory.
So how he can support it and expect to be treated differently, is rubish.
As for feeling sorry for the bastard, he didn't feel too sorry when he behaved like a bastard at Duntroon.
Give me a break, live by the sword die by the sword. The rewards are high and they know the scrutiny they will come under.
Duntroon ? dont know the story there, but he will have to dodge public bars in future as he wil be despised by many.
ANDREW Wilkie has a knot in his stomach. It comes, mostly, from not knowing which chapter of his ''spirited youth'' he will be forced to confront next.
The Tasmanian independent believes he is at the centre of a smear campaign orchestrated by the pokies industry. There have been threats about ''compromising'' photographs and allegations about his bastardry at Duntroon, some incidences of which he could not recall, many of which he had already confessed to.

I'm not saying he isn't sorry for his behaviour, but I do take exception to him being made out to be some sort of angel.

The two-bedroom Wentworth Avenue apartment is located in the “boutique” Aspect complex, very close to Parliament House.
http://www.news.com.au/business/mining-tax-raises-126m-so-far/story-e6frfm1i-1226573638482THE mining tax, which the Federal Government needs to fund projects worth billions of dollars, raised just $126 million in its first six months.
The failure of the tax had been the Government's most embarrassing fiscal secret.
Treasurer Wayne Swan today released the revenue figures from the Minerals Resource Rental Tax (MRRT) for the first time after the Australian Tax Office was assured no information about individual corporate taxpayers would be identified.
Originally the tax was to raise $4 billion a year, then $3 billion. But late last year that figure was downgraded to $2 billion.
The $126 million for the first two quarters of the tax indicates the full year's tax revenue will be nowhere near the revised target, even though mineral prices are on the rise.
Amazing, unbelievable timing. She must have known it would look like she was running up the white flag.Guess she's packing up at the Lodge as well. http://au.pfinance.yahoo.com/money-...092059/julia-gillard-sells-canberra-apartment
Yes, and in the period following the last election, I'm sure the Liberal Party would have an opinion on how 'decent' Andrew Wilkie's negotiations with them were. There's a saying used in US politics, something about pigs and lipstick.Well he has jumped into bed with the most despised government in my memory.
So how he can support it and expect to be treated differently, is rubish.
As for feeling sorry for the bastard, he didn't feel too sorry when he behaved like a bastard at Duntroon.

Kevin Rudd or otherwise, Labor will have no choice but to replace her as party leader before the ugly stuff really hits the fan. That's if her scheduled election doesn't come first and the electorate are left to do what the Labor Party itself should have done long ago.
