Well Joyce seems to have woven more than enough rope to hang himself with so they don't need to get all righteous about it, plus that would leave them open to accusations of hypocrisy the next time an ALP member gets caught doing something untoward.

If he can't take questions this morning then he will never be able to take questions again. This sort of thing would play out fine in the US where the President and Vice President don't face actual scrutiny but the way our democracy works means he won't be able to hide from it forever.

If she's 7-8 months pregnant, it's a bit rich to say they weren't together in 2017!

The first part of this sentence is totally redundant.

It doesn't matter if they were just loving; the impropriety is clear. You don't give jobs to people you're nutting in or on or around, and if you do, you don't expect to be able to keep your job when you get caught.

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-02-13/government-considered-prosecution-against-adani/9423152

quote:

An internal investigation by the Federal Environment Department has found Indian mining giant Adani "may have been negligent" in failing to disclose its Australian CEO's links to a company convicted of environmental offences in Africa.
Documents obtained under freedom of information laws reveal the department considered a criminal prosecution against Adani over the omission, but decided the prospect of a conviction was limited.
The ABC revealed in 2015 Adani's Australian CEO, Jeyakumar Janakaraj, was the director of operations at a Zambian copper mine when it discharged toxic pollutants into a major river.

...

A compliance report prepared for the department's investigation found: "Adani Mining Pty Ltd may have been negligent in that; when requested in August 2015, it failed to disclose a complete account of its executive officers in relation to environmental matters."
But the report said it, "may not be in the public interest to invest significant additional resources to pursue a criminal prosecution when it is unclear that the oversight was done negligently in order to mislead the department and the minister".
The department recommended Adani be "cautioned". But the company has told the ABC it never received any caution from the Government and that it fully cooperated with the department on the matter.

...

But while finding that the company may have been negligent, the department said that even if it had known of Mr Janakaraj's history it would have been, "unlikely to have materially influenced the advice provided by the department to the minister prior to his decision" to approve the Carmichael project.

Did Adani fully cooperate with the Government, or does the Government fully cooperate with Adani

All I know about BJ is that he was adamant he would not visit the new mine expansion west of Brisbane without traditional elder approval (2nd half of last year). Something was up his butt about keeping the spirits onside, thought it was suss seeing a coalition pollie so concerned about indigenous voices. Oh well we got the chance to clean up the miners ILUA with coalition gov support so thanks for your paranoia beetroot knob.

Outspoken Queensland Nationals senator Barry O�Sullivan has declared Barnaby Joyce a �once-in-a-generation type of politician� who remains a big asset to the Nationals despite the sharp grassroots reaction to his affair with his former staffer.

With some Nationals reeling from the backlash to the revelations amid speculation about Joyce�s future, O�Sullivan went on the front foot on Monday night.

�We�ve not seen any government that has done more for the bush than this one, with Barnaby Joyce as deputy prime minister,� he told the Conversation.

�I don�t want to lose one of the best politicians we�ve had in my lifetime. Are you going to shoot your best horse because he jumped the fence and was found in the neighbour�s paddock?�

Today is Centrelink day

quote:

Chris Bowen, speaking to Fran Kelly on Radio National this morning, has given us a hint of where Labor is likely to take the Joyce issue today:

In other developments, the prime minister said yesterday he was unaware of the relationship yet today the media reporting is that he was told by Barnaby Joyce in, I think it was August, that the relationship was over. Now, you can�t be unaware of a relationship and be told it is over at the same time. One of those statements is incorrect.

We have the issue of the prime minister saying that the individual involved was not Barnaby Joyce�s partner. Now, Fran, I spend a lot of time in my electorate office in Fairfield West ringing Centrelink on behalf of my constituents trying to get problems sorted out. If I rang and said there�s two people who have a relationship and she is pregnant but they say they are not partners or they don�t want to be regarded as partners for the purpose of Centrelink, I think my friendly Centrelink staff would laugh at me, frankly, despite their respect for me and my position.

So I think there is a number of areas where the government�s story has unravelled and of course we have been cleared to make the delineation between private and public in this matter. There are certain elements of the story which are none of our business and none of anybody�s business but there are other elements which go to public administration and judgment and, I think on those issues, the government�s story has been unravelling and Barnaby Joyce�s position is increasingly untenable.
