Peter Slipper - Liberals in crisis

you wish they were in crisis.

Pathetic & desperate from Labor

Are you saying Liberals bribed him or coerced him into coming forward?

I would expect that sort of false unsubstantiated claim from a pathetic desperate Labor supporter

there are rumours of a $50k payment but they are just runours at this stage

with just what's public knowledge at this time

* both Pyne and Brough have met with Ashby 3 times

* Pyne initially denied meeting with Ashby - stating he might have just met him in passing when going to the Speakers office.  It was later revealed he met him for a 2 hour drinking session and on 2 other times

* Pyne denied asking for Ashby's contact details until a copy of the email from him asking for them surfaced - he then changed his story

* Ashby went to Brough for advice - Brough hates Slipper, why would he go to a known enemy

* while working for Slipper - Ashby was making promotional videos for Peta Simpson - a likely candidate for pre-selection to replace Slipper for the LNP

Interesting that there are plenty in the LNP in Queensland raising concerns re the Brough / Ashby meeting - so much so that they put those concerns in writing. Slipper seems to have lots of very good friends up there and lots of very unhappy enemies.

Liberals have talked about Brough as a potential Leader of the party - is Abbott involved and trying to keep him out of parliament???

Plenty more to play out yet - especially around who is paying for Ashby's lawyer and Publicist

The worst Government in Australia's history is a laughing stock Womble, as are rusted-ons like you who continue to support it.
Time to move past the denial phase.

Rumour of a $50k payment

It would be the pathetic desperate Craig Emerson spreading that rumour

the Fiberals and murdoch press would have you believe that this issue is as Shallow as the shadow government at a policy meeting....the Wabbott hole is deep,dark and smells.
clear opportunity seen by Brough to bring down Slipper and further his own preselection. Ashby was/ is a disaffected employee shopping around for 'patrons' to do the dirty on Slipper. Clearly. Pyne, Brough...wonder how many more he sought out.

stinks boys,no matter which side you lean too..

amazing- everything the Labor party does  wrong is somehow the fault of the LIBS?

by that definition every success that Labor has must also be because of the LIBS.

in that case- why does Labor even exist if its the LIBS doing everything?

merveille,

Worst government in this country's history?
Can you tell me why please?

The Liberal's are the biggest liars of all,But seeing as the media owned by Murdoch is designed to destroy Labor you will never see it,They tricked you in to voting for a GST.

We will look after the working families
We want to cut Medicare and the pension

Debt is bad
We can get another 20billion from infrastructure bonds

Slipper
The Liberal's knew of his shenanigans since Howard's day

Julia has no leadership
Hockey in May last year "Abbott stands for nothing"

Carbon tax is bad
The GST is a tax on a tax and is on top of the CT

This economy is in a bad state
Say's the opposite overseas

Surplus is all smokes and mirrors
lol

Our economy is in a bad state
now its "under performing"

Spin doctor assisted by the bias media.

TONY Abbott has distanced himself from Andrew Robb's defence of ANZ's rate hike, saying it is not his place to dictate what banks should and shouldn't do.

In a rebuff to his finance spokesman, Mr Abbott said big banks were “quite capable of defending themselves” .

His comment came after Mr Robb appeared to back ANZ's decision last Friday to lift rates independently of the Reserve Bank of Australia, saying it would not have done so “willy-nilly”


Liberal's are not for Australia but themselves.

Niccolo

Pyne denied asking for Ashby's contact details until a copy of the email from him asking for them surfaced - he then changed his story


Sounds like a Desperate Crisis act to me.


Regards,
Niccolo

lol. Labor making a story from nothing.

No-one is more pathetic & desperate than Craig Emerson

Maybe Abbotts cousin caught the same train as Ashby once upon a time.

Just pathetic Labor, making a story from who has or hasn't had conversations with him or asked for his phone no.

How is it nothing Kye?

He has continuously lied about the same story three times.

Regards,
Niccolo

Keep going Niccolo. Desperation!!!


It is no-ones business who Pyne or Brough have discussion with or provide advice to. Get over it! It is Labor that got in bed with Slipper

Are you saying lying is OK Kye?

Desperation? I am stating nothing but facts.

"It is no-ones business who Pyne or Brough have discussion with or provide advice to"

A very desperate thing to say.

Regards,
Niccolo

yes i'm desperate

Explain how any discussion with Mr Ashby is inappropriate. Unless you want to throw around unsubstantiated accusations of bribery like Womble

Why would you say its no one business unless you're desperate?

They chose that career and life. Privacy in politics is rare just like the truth.


He lied three times.
Why lie? Because he's hiding something.
Tell me why lying in this scenario is fine Kye?

Liberals - In Crisis.

Regards,
Niccolo

Who did he lie to Nicolo? a Court or a Royal Commission?

Private advice is just that whether or not you are a politian. You are not obliged to disclose these discussion to media interviewers.

Hiding something - yes keep the desperate accusations!

Then tell me why would someone lie to the media if he loses or gains nothing,out of stupidity? He has something to lose is my conclusion.

He lied to the Australian people.

Who's desperate here,You're trying to find faults in my lines when you cannot give a straight answer.

Regards,
Niccolo

If Liberal's can lie over something "small" imagine what else they will really hide.

Regards,
Niccolo

Fk you are right Niccolo. Imagine if he would lie over a policy during an election just so he could get in power. He might be capable of as big a lie as Julia.

Now you change the subject.

Desperate,

You twit hypocrite.

Regards,
Niccolo

"Who did he lie to Nicolo? a Court or a Royal Commission?"

People like Jez,Kye,Tony Abbott don't really care for anyone but themselves.

As Kye said "Who did he lie to" which means the Australian people are nobody's so why should we respect them.

Regards,
Niccolo

Good one Kye.

Niccolo, it is tiresome addressing your comments. Keep building it up as an issue!

If you want to see some lies try watching next weeks Fudget. Swan will promise a surplus but we all know next year we will still be in a massive deficit.

Yawn,

Again you support my argument of you not caring about true blue Aussies.

"Keep building it up as an issue"
It's only an issue when you say it's an issue hypocrite.

I exposed you for the desperate you are.

Regards,
Niccolo

Its only an issue for Labor b/c they are so desperate to make an issue out of nothing so they can regain some ground in the polls. or any other noise that will distract from their poor Gov't.

Were you also outraged by Julia's blatant lie at the last election??

Trying to make an issue out of this is just pure desperation. Labor are looking more pathetic every day.

How about you changing the subject two times and not answer my questions?
That smells of desperation.


Not it's an issue because a person in the political system lied and deceived the public not once,twice but three times.

How is lying in court an issue but not this?

Regards,
Niccolo

Pyne has been caught with his pants down.

Pyne is a LIAR.

Ffs Niccolo you are not under oath when you talk to a journalist. You are not obliged to disclose to them about private conversations or discussions. Labor beatup about nothing. No consipiracy here!

Entrapment.

Around his ankles.

Kye,
He was caught lying and you're say it's fine to lie to the public.

Stop putting a desperate spin on it


Regards,
Niccolo

funny how the only journo's the fiberals talk too are murdochs grubs..

Abbott has refused to answer questions on this subject all week. Funny that.....how he was in the media every day calling for Slipper to be executed....yet when there is a sniff of Liberal involvement he clams up.

What is he hiding? Why didn't Pyne, Brough, Ashby and Simpson come out and inform Abbott of their involvement the day Abbott told us there was no Liberal involvement as far as he knows.

STINKS TO HIGH HEAVEN.

I heard one report saying it is Brough that is seeking Slippers seat at the next election.

So you have the one politician that would benifit most from Slippers demise, giving advice to the complainant against Slipper that he should take it to the feds.

Move along.......no conflict of interest here.

Not a good day for Brough - has been referred to the CMC over an alleged payment made during the council election as well

Plenty of people starting to pick up on Abbott's deliberate use of language - i.e. "specific knowledge" - smells, it smells a lot like Godwin Grech all over again

was pretty sickening watching Hockey on Insiders this morning going on about the sexual harassment claims being taken more seriously if it was a female involved

maybe they should've treated them as seriously as the Liberals did the allegations on Australia Day 2003

Slipper is a grub Womble. Don't defend him.

its his grub that has him in strife

He needs to be liquidated and dumped in a mass grave.

might be taking it a bit far

Drink a cup of concrete and harden the f-ck up.

Slipper is far from perfect but this is looking more and more like a stitch up by the day

Slipper is not far from perfect. He is a dirty little greedy grub that if he wasn't a pollie would probably already be in gaol. Defending him to defend the Labor Party only drags yourself down to their level.

If Slipper is guilty of what is alleged he should have the book thrown at him

Which book?

we can now add Bishop and Entsch to the list of Liberal and Nation members that knew - how long will the list get???

and Barnaby has decided to add his words of wisdom

These details emerged as the Nationals leader in the Senate, Barnaby Joyce, hit out at Mr Ashby, saying ''he seems only slightly less dodgy than Slipper''.

Senator Joyce said the question was what Mr Ashby was doing at Mr Slipper's house - where some of the inappropriate conversation was alleged to have taken place. ''He wasn't dragged into the house,'' Senator Joyce said, adding that Mr Ashby was ''not a boy in his teens but a man in his 30s''.

I never thought you'd stoop this low, wombleoz.

Fair dinkum.

So you start a thread based on a $50k rumour?????

A rumour????

The Liberals in crisis???  With almost a 20 point 2 party preferred lead....and they're in crisis???

More muck raking from the lowest of the lows within the ALP.

The usual desperado's are out in force.

Emerson (who'll likely lose his seat at the next election)

And the new Gillard-recruit, Bob Carr who said on the weekend via Twitter of the alleged sexual harassment victim, James Ashby  that he was: "more rehearsed than a Kabuki actor" over his claim to be a victim of Speaker Peter Slipper.

More rehearsed??????

How low can you go.

Joe Hockey was merely comparing this case to that of a woman complaining of sexual harassment.
Would the ALP and all their comrades be attacking a woman if she had filed a complaint???

Of course not.

This is gutter politics from the experts in the business.

The Australian Labor Party.

And of course, wombleoz is rubbing his nose all through it - like a pig in fkn mud.

Disgusting.

Appalling actually.

Abbott's  3 day silence is refreshing.. yet eerie. How much longer can it possibly last?  on this matter
The longer Abbott & Pyne refuse to make public comments/answer questions...the more people will believe they are guilty

over and out..

Hey teddles....guess what....

I heard that Elvis Presley is ALIVE and flipping burgers at a fast food joint in Michigan



YEP, you heard it here first....

over and out..

Liberals have their finger prints all over this one Jez - Vexnews has some stuff up today that if it's even partially correct is not good for Ashby at all

http://www.vexnews.com/2012/05/life-of-the-party-james-ashby-accused-of-procuring-unwitting-young-men-for-hiv-positive-millionaire-mate-for-pleasure-palace-partying/

simple question - rather than ask half the Liberal Party what he should do why not just go through the normal channels???

Wombleoz ....can you just stop.

Your peddling speculative nonsense from where....oh yeah, Vex News ffs
None of this is substantiated.

"Liberals have their finger prints all over this one" - according to who?  You? ffs

Your belitting and deriding a sexual harassment case.

Cut it out - treat it with the seriousness it deserves.

Gutter politics - and your like a pig in mud.

I thought you were better than this.  Fair dinkum.

*belittling

Brough, Pyne, Bishop, Entsch, all had knowledge of the claims - don't people usually want to keep these things quiet while they take appropriate action???

Quote Jez-Punter
"Your peddling speculative nonsense"

Unlike your carbon tax speculative nonsense
Unlike your "Smoke and mirrior" Surplus
Unlike "Support Australia Working Family's"
Unlike..
Unlike.


You are a low individual.

Regards,
Niccolo

Wombleoz at his lowest.

Treating a sexual harassment case as a political football.

Unbelievable stuff.

Mal Brough would make a wonderful prime minister

Mal Brough is a political carcass swinging in the breeze - should no chance of winning pre selection now. It's not only the involvement with Ashby but also the CMC investigation into the local council elections

come on womble, anyone will do as PM, right?

I mean if stephen smith is acceptable then any tool will do- right?

no qualities needed anymore.PM spot is up for grabs on a regular basis.

hell , if he was;nt busted craig thompson could have been a goer

I'm certain that tool joel will agree with me on this.

Stephen Smith will make a great PM imo

imaho!
