Over at Surfdom, Aussie Bob has a great take on the mire that the Queensland Libs have lured the PM into – not only Santo’s share dealings and dodgy donations, but also a fundraising dinner arranged by Printgate target Andrew Laming MP where the PM supped with a porn mogul who was facing charges of torture and GBH (and was subsequently convicted).
None of that is surprising to Banana Benders who know something about the rectitude and moral splendour of the Queensland Liberals, and particularly the Santoro cabal, but will the PM resign in order to refocus the government’s attack on that dangerous Mr Rudd? (Ps – as Costello implies, HE’S CONTROLLED BY FACELESS UNION LEADERS!)…
It does seem like bad judgement. So if we have a standardised method of applying ministerial ethics, then I guess there is no choice.
Does that mean Mark Vaile will be PM? This would be interesting as the Nats do consistently worse in national lower house polling than the Greens. Seems it would be more popular to make B. Brown PM.
OK. Costello would be PM. In an election year that might be pretty close to political suicide.
And bad judgement as we know, Austin, is very bad indeed.
The worst. One might find oneself, politically and morally compromised.
Having supped with the devil…
Howard may well be thinking about a post-politics career change.

ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH…….. Katz, you have now just ruined my day!
Jeff Bracks in Victoria Siempre is not controlled by faceless union bosses…he’s controlled by Paul Mullet. Nothing to see here – move along.
Scott Phillips sounds like a very nasty man indeed. One of the victims was so injured he had to have a titanium plate inserted into his face. Oh: and it sounds like this “mogul” plagiarised most of his content from other sites. I don’t know if it is the norm in the industry, but it helped that he lived in a different jurisdiction from most of his competitors.

Swap you Howard for Rudd. They both fall on their swords for consorting with crims. Deal?
You forgot to mention their internal solidarity and total competence. Even the SA lot have mad skills compared to these (mostly) lads.

Deal. Maybe then we’d get Gilly and you get…the Tip ‘o the Iceberg. That sounds like a good deal to me.
