Yes he is a silly bugger and I wonder how much this court case cost the taxpayer compared to the amount Slipper actually defrauded and why the whole thing could not be settled out of court.

What a waste of our money, again.
 
More Liberal party corruption should be a royal commission into it :rolleyes:

My legal contacts tell me that his super entitlements will be zero, should he get a term inside.

Let is hope and pray it happens.

A reasonable barb, IF.

I reckon any corruption on either side including folk who don't shave should be addressed and those guilty punished.

Your legal contacts don't know what they are talking about. He would have had to have been convicted while still an MP for that to occur.
