The thing I cannot understand is why he did it? Surely it was not for finacial gain considering his level of salary.

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....The thing I cannot understand is why he did it? Surely it was not for finacial gain considering his level of salary...

Extract from Sonnet 94
...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.
For those who have missed the " Peter Parade ", here it is in all it's undisguised glory.

UPDATE: The Australian Federal Police have begun a formal criminal investigation into allegations the federal parliament's Speaker, Peter Slipper, misused taxi dockets.
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.
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."
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.

Craig Emerson is on my short list of "those who need a good punch in the face"
Funny about that, you are also on my list of "those who need a good punch in the face".
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
Your so clever Burns, always having the last say.
The only error in you post is you have just defined yourself.
...But when he becomes effectively independent all bets would be off. I wouldn't expect anything else of the Liberal party...
