What's untrue about that ?
The sheer bias of some of you on here makes me laugh.
Oh, the irony.
Good,
can always count on you to agree when the truth is clear Julia
banco He hasn't even got leave to appeal yet you fool.
They say there always two ways to skin a cat and Judge Rares day is about to come.
This may put that crook judge back in his box for good.

He hasn't even got leave to appeal yet you fool.
As an unbiased observer, may I just say that we should await the slow turn of the Law to decide these matters.
I feel a bit left out not being called a fool, by the way.

You obviously have not read the link you fool, as it refers to Ashby taking the sexual harrassment case to Fair Work Austrlia.
The appeal will come later.
Looks like those pesky members of the AFP also have it in for poor 'ol Pete now. Those cabcharge vouchers rear their ugly heads again.
A malignant trio, a trident of trouble for our connoiseur of the ocean's finest delights. All allegedly so, off course.
Oh dear sigh Wayne and Julia ...
FORMER federal parliamentary speaker Peter Slipper will face charges over the alleged misuse of taxpayer-funded taxi vouchers.
The Australian Federal Police today said in a statement it had served on Mr Slipper's lawyer a summons, “in relation to three offences of dishonestly causing a risk of a loss to the commonwealth.”
The Australian understands the three charges relate to the use of Cabcharge dockets, used to pay for taxi journeys.
The initial referral to investigate is understood to have come from the commonwealth Department of Finance.
“Mr Slipper MP has been summonsed to appear in the Canberra Magistrates Court on 15 February 2013,” the AFP statement says.
“It would not be appropriate to comment further at this time.”
The charge of dishonestly causing a risk of a loss to the commonwealth comes under the Commonwealth Criminal Code Act of 1995.

So he was a bad person then.
Or not?
Please answer this.

No Bob, I won’t answer that, it would be unfair of me to make such a damning judgement. All I’m saying is that to describe him as a “good and decent man” is a bit of a stretch, and I would not be alone in that opinion, on either side of politics, nor in public opinion.

Then he was a bad man, you say. He was less than a ‘good and decent man’. A bad man.
Please confirm.
I do not like liars and your presence in these columns is now in danger.
You are going against judge Rares’ judgment of a man you do not know and seem to me a piece of filth and I do not like you.
Please answer this, and be careful.
And tell no further lies.

Excellent. Good-bye.
He may be right though. It could be a huge conspiracy against a "good and decent man"

Today is just further proof of Labor's poor judgment in the associates it chooses. The upcoming shredding will be of this decaying corpse of government by the electorate.
As for Pete himself, he's left somewhat friendless.
I wonder how long it will be before it's Craig Thomson's turn ?
Unlike poor Pete, he still has friends in politics, at least for the duration of this term.
Pleeease no.doc, I may have to report you to the misogyny circle.
This is over the top bullying of Gillard, Roxon, Macklin, Wong,and Plibersek.
Pleeease no.
I don't want them on my back.
Oh the pain, the pain!
When the Ashby case was thrown out by Justice Rares, Mr Slipper triumphantly announced that he felt vindicated.
He might not be feeling quite so happy today.
Once he is dead, as we all will be , the truth will be interesting to see.
A summons document in the ACT Magistrates Court alleges that on three occasions in 2010, Mr Slipper took a hire car to visit wineries that included the top-rated Clonakilla winery, well known for its $85 Shiraz Viognier.
''He filled in the trip details on the dockets by showing false information,'' including the pick up and put down locations and the amount of the fare. The documents further allege that Mr Slipper travelled to wineries again in April and June 2010.
Together the three trips cost about $900.
Rumour about the hotel that Slippery has resigned.
I'm awaiting confirmation. Will call Richo.
Just rumour.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mal_Colston said:Malcolm Arthur "Mal" Colston (5 April 1938 – 23 August 2003), Australian politician, was a Senator in the Parliament of Australia representing the state of Queensland between 1975 and 1999. He was a member of the Australian Labor Party (ALP) until 20 August 1996, but then resigned from the party and sat as an independent until his retirement from the Senate.
Resignation from the Labor Party
After the 1996 election, the Labor Party refused to nominate Colston to become Deputy President of the Senate. In a bid to win him over, the Howard Coalition government offered to support him. Colston resigned from the Labor Party by fax message at 11:30 a.m. on 20 August, and he took his seat as an independent that afternoon. In the evening, he was elected Deputy President, on the nomination of the Coalition. Whilst he opposed the Coalition's industrial relations package, he voted for the sale of a third of Telstra and some other government initiatives. Colston subsequently sat as a "Queensland First" senator.
Travel allowances scandal
In 1997, Colston was charged by the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions with 28 charges of defrauding the Commonwealth by allegedly misusing his parliamentary travel allowance. He then revealed that he was suffering from cancer. Prosecution was not pursued after medical opinion was provided that Colston was unlikely to live long enough for a trial to be completed. In the event, he survived for a further six years. He retired from the Senate at the end of his term on 30 June 1999.
