Aussies always have to go one better...
 
We had a minister who bought some porn on the ministerial credit card once.

Now I notice you've went one better with an MP who made large cash withdraws linked to a brothel and forgetting about declaring the $90,000 he received within the 28 days allowed (I can understand, who hasn't lost $90k down the back of the sofa and forgot about it? :rolleyes:).

What kind of services do you think you get for $104,000, do you think it involves whipped cream or being tied up? :unsure: What naughty things would you do as an Australian MP who happened to be in a government that couldn't spare a single seat as it desperately tried to cling to power? :lol:

Where did the $104k come from? Just out of interest. :)

From the Age article it suggests that he spent $2475 + $385 on the escort agency.

As for the main question. I'm being a little unimaginative this morning. I can't really think of anything I would extort out of a desperate government. :unsure:

104k would keep me in service for the rest of my life with most of it left over.
Assuming an interval of one week.

Pay with cash!!

104k would not last so long..

I don't know. Does it take more than 1 bottle of cleanskin to get the wife in the mood?

$7 x 52 weeks = 285 years :thumbup:

The paperbag goes over my head - normally free with the bottle!

It looks like most (if not all) of the $90k was spent on lawyers. He'd have been much better off spending it on a few tarts rather than those lowlifes. :lol:

Ambitious. Somehow though sleeping with your wife, even if your paying for it, seems like the wrong way to misuse power.

Silvio Berlusconi would show Thompson how to do it, none of this denial or saying sorry business. Just "Yes I did, thank you...I'm a f**king legend in my own time. See you in court heterosexual hating gays" :lol:.

Remember when he was meeting some graduating medical students and he asked one what she was going to do now? She replied "work really hard as a Doctor and pay off my student debt". He said "Nonsense! Find yourself a rich husband, and you could as well...your still reasonably good looking".

For someone who is well known for...playing horizontal tennis...with everyone from film stars (allegedly) to underage models (also allegedly) he looks good for the lifestyle like :D.

Silvio is the bigtime. :thumbup:

With this bloke, the tarts was before he was an MP so from a political wrong-doing point of view it's just that he didn't declare the loan he got to pay for his legal bills. It's not even 4th division compared to wheat Silvio gets up to. :D

Yep, he's a legend.

Absolute power corrupts absolutely :D

There are no grounds for criticism of Silvio and I won't hear a bad word spoken :sneaky:. It's moral too because he isn't married (any more).

Also women are always on about how men should just "be themselves" well Silvio is being himself, he just happens to be a very naughty boy.

he blew $3k on coke'n'hookers but the labour party funded his legal costs to the tune of $90k which he also conveniently he forgot to declare... if he gets out, it'll cause a bi election and labour will lose power thus them standing by and throwing a shit load of money at him
