    And it already has!

    I find it hilarious that the guy who led the attack on former speaker Bronwyn Bishop over dodgy travel claims is now right in the muck with her... demonstrating the fact that he had no idea that people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. $48,951 for a six-day ministerial trip to Europe, including first-class flights for a senior adviser makes ol' Bronnies $5k for a helicopter seem tame. I'm not justifying the $5k helicopter joy ride though. I think that is wrong too.

    And the fact that the woman he flew first class with for the European getaway turned out to be the woman he was either hooking up with already, or just wanting to hook up with, but definitely ended up hooking up with... now that's just all class.

    Isn't it great that our taxes are being used to pay for first class tickets to impress the women our politicians are wanting to bone.

    Makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

    It makes me sad that the the guy that did that was the first to point the finger when someone else did something wrong. When did the world get so stupid?

    That's how politicians operate in this country, and indeed most of the world.

    Yup. Sure are. Explains why pine is also defending burke- because they all do it.

    Funny reviewing the video- im sure lots of people would like to take girlfriends on a business class trip to Barcelona like Burke did...and equally, like Burke, the majority would also close the deal after that :)
    And if you can get someone else to pay for it....
