Peter Slipper... What's the future?
 

I'm thinking todays headlines aren't going to make Peter Slippers' wife very happy... (let alone his children.)

If what is being reported is true... and she didn't know... I feel very sorry for her.

As for what happens next in Australian politics - well I guess that's going to be interesting.

Looks like a pervert, probably is a pervert.

People are incredibly stupid when it comes to texting. Assuming it's true of course.

The Daily Telegraph reports that it has sighted court documents alleging Peter Slipper made advances towards James Ashby.

As usual the paper gives me a hilarious morning with its brand or journalism.

:blink:

cat in a guy's attic? yes!

I prefer twinks, but horses for courses!

This reminds me so much of the Little Britain sketch where the prime minister and his gay assistant Sebastian had a crush on him.:rofl:

Totally amazed at how slipper got the positon of speaker. How did that happen????, he was under some inquiry into how he spent about $600,000 in a year on expenses, including some 6 week trip to africa and europe.

Re: Peter Slipper... What's the future?
 

Slippery Pete was given the speaker's job in a classic piece of political deal making.

Harry Jenkins is labour and was the speaker for15 years (and was highly respected)

Slipper is liberal and fell out with his party.

labour convinced Jenkins to step down as speaker and thus gained his vote in the house - a big advantage in a minority govt. slipper got the job and the liberals lost a vote in the house. I don't think the liberals even saw the change coming.

Still not sure what harry Jenkins will get from the deal but I'm sure there is a payoff waiting for him in the future.

Couldn't care less about slippers sex life. do care if sexual harassment is involved though.

All a bit machiavellian really

Re: Peter Slipper... What's the future?
 

Thats for sure.

With him and Thomson going I think Labour will be unable to do anything.

Woo hoo another election. The battle of the donkeys.

Re: Peter Slipper... What's the future?
 

Thomson should have gone a long time ago. Instead they string investigations out as long as possible to keep The status quo until the next election.

The slipper deal meant labour could fob off the independents Wilkie and Xenothon pokie machine reform deals. They no longer relied on their votes and were under huge pressure from clubs , NSW in particular

The longer labour let the stink carry on the larger the damage. It is a self inflicted wound.

Thinking aloud, when did Bob Brown the homosexual leader of the Greens resign in mysterious circumstances....

Any connection?

of course the libs and particularly howard have known about and covered up for slipper for years

Re: Peter Slipper... What's the future?
 

He's a politician, there really is no need to say any more.

Re: Peter Slipper... What's the future?
 

Fair enough, but his sexuality (even though he is married) is not the problem.

Moral turpitude isn't a crime. Its the harassment that is illegal.

Re: Peter Slipper... What's the future?
 

Wow, hadn't thought of that. The timing does seem rather coincidental.

I wonder if any connection will emerge?
