Was it to finance his night time travels around the suburb's and certain districts.?
It appears he was a bit of a "night owl", as can be observed in his eyes as he sits over the lower house.
More to break on this subject!!

Yes I think this puzzles a lot of people Noco. An associate of PS recently noted 'thwarted ambition', and if we drilled down, that's what we might find.

...But if that flower with base infection meet,
The basest weed outbraves his dignity:
For sweetest things turn sourest by their deeds;
Lilies that fester smell far worse than weeds.

Let us hope that Peter Slipper has the decency to give the nation a good laugh on his last day as Speaker in Parliament by giving us the " March of the Muppet ", as he parades in to Parliament to relinquish the Speakership to the Deputy Speaker.

For those who have missed the " Peter Parade ", here it is in all it's undisguised glory.

Wonder who the sad little servant is carrying the stick ?

The weekly bill for cleaning that floor could feed several hundred homeless people.
 
Harry Jenkins must have the sh&ts with Julia.

He gave up this esteemed position and a family tradition for this farce!
 
UPDATE: The Australian Federal Police have begun a formal criminal investigation into allegations the federal parliament's Speaker, Peter Slipper, misused taxi dockets.

They expect the investigation to last at least three years.:)
 
Now that their best customer has been scared off "Sydney's best gay sauna" is finding it hard to break even.

It's been an icon of Sydney's gay community for more than 40 years, a safe place where even the powerful and famous could hide out in relative obscurity (or at least until they hit the footpath outside, as former police minister David Campbell learnt in 2010) but now Ken's at Kensington, Sydney's self-proclaimed "best gay sauna", is to close.

What gives with Craig Emerson? He is like a yapping dog that has treed a goanna but can't do anything about it. Okay, Brough gave Ashby some advice. And that's part of a conspiracy? If exposing the antics of Slipper is a conspiracy then we should have more of them. Good men working to expose nasty practices, that Gillard and Emerson are trying desperately to cover up, can't be a bad thing.

Labor frontbencher Craig Emerson claims the meeting is further evidence the Coalition has been intimately involved in airing the allegations against Mr Slipper.

"It is inconceivable that a former senior minister in the Howard government would have told no one else about this when he himself has dramatically changed his story," he said.

"People are lying here. And this is what we've been saying - that there is a cover-up."

My thoughts exactly.
Craig Emerson is on my short list of "those who need a good punch in the face"
He really annoys me.
 
Who is number one on your short list of "those who need a good punch in the face"?

I suppose it is Julia Gilliard. Your such a tough guy Burns.

You're an angry old man aren't you, life not go as expected ?
Perhaps if you came out of the closet you'd feel better instead of trying to engage other men online:rolleyes:

Your so clever Burns, always having the last say.

The only error in you post is you have just defined yourself.
 
Imo it would have been better if Mal Brough, or any other Liberal for that matter, had had nothing to do with Ashby's allegations, let alone advised him what he should do.

Ashby himself seems to be a manipulative small player seeking to make himself feel important. If he can prove his allegations, then I'll be the first to applaud the ousting of Slipper, but Ashby himself hardly comes across as an example of exemplary behaviour.
 
Mal Brough has been undermining Peter Slipper for 2 years to get pre selection for his seat. I suppose while Peter was part of the Liberal party they couldn't really investigate him too closely because they would lose a precious vote..

But when he becomes effectively independent all bets would be off. I wouldn't expect anything else of the Liberal party

haha - and I would expect nothing less of you let alone the carryings on in the labor party...:eek:

And don't forget that Gillard was very happy to put Slipper into the speakers chair even though his activities were well known to the public.
