Sad bastard!!!

Next you'll be telling us you were never a teenager before, and you never rebelled against your parents.

Seriously if you've never been drunk, then your not qualified to comment on the pish people think and say when they are drunk. Its not true that drink makes the truth come out, its often the reverse.

Yes, I agree he shouldn't have got drunk in public, not when he is so high profile. But, sometimes you don't notice the amounts, the sizes of the measures or whatever. Especially when they are free!

So, really the current question is, should we sack government officals for getting pissed?

(I say 'current' question, cos their is alot more unproven allegations coming out of the woodwork now)

That's a start.

Now he can do the honourable thing and resign.

Silly little bugger has shown he does not have one particle what it takes.

What's the point of politicking if the aim is lower than shagging all the females? Well, as long as it does not become obligatory or compulsory.

A charismatic politician would have the husbands in awe.

Vash the Stampede

Sounds fair enough to me.

What were people supposed to do - laugh it off?

Resign from his party.

Flutterscutter

Yeah good point. Poor woman.

Vash the Stampede

Yes, I am indeed a sad bastard. We all know that a man is worth nothing unless he has puked his guts out in a public carpark, or violently attacked somebody after sinking two dozen pints and a bottle of voddy.

I hang my head in shame.

Alas, I did both.

What absolute rot. That's like saying a psychiatrist is not qualified to comment on the feelings of a manic depressive if he's never been manic depressive himself.

My comment on Brogden's behaviour is that it was disgusting and indefensible. I don't need to have been drunk myself in order to reach that conclusion; it's just plain common sense.

I agree with you entirely.

No, we should sack them for getting drunk whilst on the job - particularly if they harrass other people and then attempt to escape the consequences by blaming it on the "demon drink."

People wouldn't get away with this in the private sector; why should anyone get away with it in politics?

Vash the Stampede

Exactly.

If anyone deserves sympathy, it's her.

And not the women whos arses he pinched? Surely they are going through post traumatic stress as we speak

Im heading down your way in a minute, stop being argumentative or I'll call in & put a muzzle on you .

I'll introduce you to Jock again

MrsDagboy

Ohhhh that sounds really bad, you've got a name for it? :scared: .

This was a point when NSW needed a strong opposition now there is none but the greens and independants. The liberals are turning into a bunch of happy clappy anti-gay evangelical christians. Now in power we have a Morris nobody who gives in to the property and gambling industry and puts the state $300 million further into the red.

Brogdens antics are not new to Australian politics (remember Andrew Bartlett and the democrats self destruction) and it about time those making the laws we live by sober up whilst on the job. NSW recently turned down a law requiring members to be sober in parliament.

The press is hardly a big issue over here. Imagine if he was British!!

ABCDiamond

Can anyone imagine what she is feeling ?

Her future was almost certainly going to be the wife of the Premier of NSW, and then possibly even the wife of a future Prime Minister of Australia, (who knows), and now after a stupid evening, all that is lost to her !!

Jeez, if I did that to my wife, i'd be considering a permanent solution before I went home from the office too..

MrsDagboy

LOL

Even worse, she was almost certainly seen by the public as the wife of a well-respected man with dignity & character & now shes seen as the embarrassed & humiliated wife of a bloke whos a sexist male chauvanist.

I know which one I think is worse .
