I just caught a clip of Angus on YouTube.

Even Andrew Clennell calls him an embarrassment.

Sky News is also “lightweight but dense”. The first two sentences were pretty redundant… and then they repeated them.

New rules and no Central Branch as it was the nest of Branch stackers.

Maybe there is 50,000, but most are not involved.

Previously disendorsed…

If the LNP had to worry about not selecting scumbags there would be no LNP.

So Ms Campbell of Robodebt infamy gets shunted into a million a year job counting our Aukus nuclear subs. Well, well, well. Good on ya, Jacqui Lambie !

I wonder if Ms Kathryn Campbell is related to Gen. Angus ?

The Coalition moved her to the position of Secretary of DFAT. The ALP rescinded that appointment, but she would have had some contractual preservation PS rights as to her salary and PS employment for a fixed term equivalent to her salary as a Secretary.
She’s been moved to a non job until her PS entitlements expire.
My problem with Jacqui is that her policy stances are shaped by what makes for click bait and that she sold her vote during the Coalition to pass legislation that she now protests about.

From the Higgins trial

Lehrmann told police he needed to pick up the keys to his apartment and do some preparation for question time, he told security guards he was there to collect documents and he told Chief of Staff to former Minister Reynolds, Fiona Brown, he wanted to ‘to drink whisky’.

“You’ll admit then that doesn’t look good, does it, Bruce?’’ Bartlett asked Mr Lehrmann.

“Of course not,” Mr Lehrmann said.

“But the fact of the matter is, the version I told the federal police is the truth.”

He said the reason he told security guards a different reason was just to get into the building late at night without his pass.

what do the people think guilty? or innocent?

Higgins claimed she was blind drunk, drunker than she ever was in her life. Totally paralytic. Yet video footage see’s her skipping down a corridor

Really, that’s what you have? Maybe you should get out more if you don’t think that can happen.

Concerted effort to paint the woman as the one to blame. LNP and right-wing media never cease to amaze me.

She’s clearly lying in this case though

As opposed to the guy who after drinking for 8 hours at the pub went back to the office to pick up his keys all whilst ignoring half a dozen calls from his girlfriend. Sounds legit, I do that all the time.

Has @Bullwinkle ever posted about football or is he/she/it/they some sophisticated bot programmed to fight the culture wars?

Lehrmann’s a sweet heart though right? Just a poor innocent lad out having fun cheating on his girlfriend and using all his contacts at the LNP to get the girl blamed for everything. Meanwhile, if you know people who know him you will discover some very interesting stuff that the media refuse to publish while they pour over Higgins life trying to destroy her.
