Slippery is a former long term Liberal MP. What do Labor care as long as he is independant (leaning more there way as the vitriol continues).
I am amused that all his faults are appearing now. Where were they in his previous terms?
Because there were never any charges laid against slipper in his previous terms.
On this occassion he has involved himself in two serious charges since becoming the speaker.
One is a criminal charge of fraud with his cab charge and the other is a civil case with sexual harrassment of James Ashby his assistant.
It's been alleged he did these things. There has been no charges, yet.
The sexual harassment thingee is just a lover's tiff between two turncoats. No crime there. If he is charged it will be on his alleged Cabcharge voucher rort. And the main witness is James Ashby. When they kiss and make up, as they always do, Ashby's evidence will become the "I don't recollect" variety.
Gillard is safe. Slipper is safe except for the stench. :22_yikes:
That's the problem they get on with the job and we suffer some more.I
It would be nice if they'd just get on with the job the taxpayer pays them to do instead of focusing on their sexual predilections.
The couple had a long courtship, with Inge at first reluctant to accept her older suitor's hand.
They married in 2006, in front of family and high-profile politicians like Kevin Rudd, Peter Costello and Bronwyn Bishop.
Mr Slipper's two children from his previous marriage, Nicholas and Alexandra, now in their 20s, were best man and bridesmaid at the wedding.
Mr Abbott arrived late at the wedding - a 1.5 hour nuptial mass - kissing the bride as she was about to head down the aisle.
Inge was probably well aware she was married to a low-life, but now the whole world knows, which must be devastating for her.

The love of dressing up and pageantry that he brought to the speakership makes a lot more sense now.

Is Pete still a member of the Liberal Party?

Yes, agree entirely.I thought you knew everything IF...
No, he resigned from the libs and became independent.
Too bad about his constituents who voted for him as a liberal. I reckon pollies shouldn't be allowed to do this - if an elected MP resign from their party surely there should be a bi-election to give the electorate chance to decide if they like their chosen MP to switch camps or vote someone else in who will continue to represent the party.
Surely that would be a better representation of democracy.
