After all the rantings and ravings about Craig Thomson's misappropriation of union funds, he has no choice but to sack both George Brandis and Barnaby Joyce from his front bench after their misappropriation of thousands of dollars of taxpayer's money.
Things are just going from bad to worse to outright ugly for this government.
they are? No worries Bill...
I wouldn't think being in government for 2 weeks would be able to change the issues that the former government had caused?
Oh, these are definitely all of their own making, such as:
Appointing a Minister for ANZAC Day but no Minister for Aged Care, Disability Services, Science nor Multicultural Affairs
Secondly, political interference resulting in Abbott's Chief of Staff getting off a DUI despite pleading guilty.
Thirdly, the appalling situation re only one woman in Cabinet.
Fourthly, creating huge problems with Indonesia over foreign policy.
Fifthly, having nothing to say but 'no comment' when asylum seekers died at sea.
Sixthly, the Deputy Leader and the Attorney General being found guilty of misappropriating taxpayer funds.
Seventhly, deciding that their NBN policy was not correct after all and going back to the drawing board to nut out a new policy
Eighthly, despite going on for years and years re the need for a surplus, announcing that they will not be aiming for a surplus at all in their term
Ninthly, the debacle Chris Pyne has already made of the Education portfolio, with very poor ideas re student amenities and caps on education. He has already made it clear he only wants children from wealthy families to receive a university education.
Tenthly, sacking heads of important departments simply because they don't agree with Abbott's political view.
Eleventh, seeing the whole board of the NBN resign because of the dreadful policy of the new government
All of this has happened within the first two weeks of the new government, mind you!!
Cheers
