Rikki Lambert appointed chief advisor to Senator Bob Day, of Family First.

You may recall him from this little situation:

Can't wait for his response which will be to attack and abuse those who criticize him.
I am really beginning to wonder if he will last a year in the job.
Or is Jay to scared to sack him because he will then go after him :-?
He has actively undermined everyone else above him over the years

From someone who should know:

FORMER Liberal leader Martin Hamilton-Smith says the State Liberal Party has no vision, no policy platform and “actively ripped down” Holden when it needed help.

In his first public spray at the party he resigned from just a month ago, the now Labor minority government Minister said he had advised the Liberals against a “small target” tactic prior to the election but had been ignored.

Funny, I never heard Martin say anything like that at any Liberal function before he took up the offer of Ministership with the ALP. :lol:

By contrast Cory Bernardi will debate his views (and accept being disagreed with) over a chop and a beer any time - which I know because I debated my support for gay marriage with him in that context.

You wonder how long Weatherill can keep putting out fires before it really starts to get to him
Rankine is an embarrassing liability. Some of her comments are just ridiculous

You can also follow some political reporters on twiiter. You can get a few high lights from parliament. Novak is one. Obviously not conclusive but if your time poor you can get his gist.

Thats fair enough, but there has been a fair bit in the media already. Adelaide now would have a bit and Laura Novak is worth having a read off.

Both are cases of politicans handling something in there normal way. And thats to dick it up. Libs or Labour would have cocked these up the same. I think a review of the entire Families SA department is required.

More people are coming out saying there is a culture of cover up in Families SA and unless you're "in" you're going to be sorted "out"
Some very interesting people in that department. Go into the office and have a look one day....................
