Thanks to this countries' vast and accurate archives of convict histories, I've traced my mothers side of the family back to the 2nd fleet of convicts arriving to Australia. The crimes that my great, great, etc. relatives' committed to be sentenced to this gaping brown land were: Male: stole a goose Female: was 'incorrigible' They met in country and bred profusely as any good Tasmanian is want to do in the cold winter to spring seasons of our southernmost land. I'm glad Dutton has the spuds to keep our proud country free of all those other ne'er-do-wells that aren't directly related to me and might lay claim to my hereditary apple orchards so long as I don't have to do any of the actually labour. e. vvv representation of Christensen taking the floor CATTASTIC fucked around with this message at 14:52 on Jan 3, 2017 |

The Before Times posted:How did you do that? Family members in Tassie have been trying for years to track down our convict ancestors with little luck They started in NSW  e; if you know their original names (convicts tended to change their last names when they settled) the Sydney museum in Circular Quay has it all on microfiche; you can track them through birth/death records.. I've found the same in the Perth library, assume there's something similar in Hobart. CATTASTIC fucked around with this message at 00:23 on Jan 4, 2017 |

Optics Political expenses: Julie Bishop charged taxpayers for Portsea Polo trip, Mathias Cormann claimed for AFL final Foreign Minister Julie Bishop charged taxpayers $2,716 to attend the Portsea Polo for "official ministerial business". The revelation comes as pressure mounts on Health Minister Sussan Ley over her travels at the expense of taxpayers, which have sparked calls for reform to the entitlement system. Ms Bishop was invited to the January 9, 2016 event on Victoria's Mornington Peninsula as a guest of Peroni and Jeep. She was pictured at the event in an exclusive marquee hosted by Mercedes Benz where her fellow guests included models, socialites and former prime minister Tony Abbott's daughter, Frances. A Department of Finance report shows Ms Bishop spent $2,177 on flights to Melbourne for the event, $416 on a car and claimed a $123 travel allowance. In response to questions from the ABC, her office issued a short statement. "The Minister was invited and attended in her official capacity as Minister for Foreign Affairs and Deputy Leader of the Liberal Party," it read. Ministers are allowed to claim for travel relating to their office, but the Ministerial Standards prohibit travel for private purposes. "Ministers must be scrupulous in ensuring the legitimacy and accuracy of any claim for entitlement to ministerial, parliamentary or travel allowance," the standards state. "Although [ministers'] public lives encroach upon their private lives, it is critical that ministers do not use public office for private purposes." Ministers charge for AFL grand final trip It has also been revealed two Federal Government ministers and a Tasmanian senator charged taxpayers more than $2,500 for a trip to the AFL grand final in 2013. The men were guests of the National Australia Bank and received complimentary tickets and hospitality. One of the ministers, Senator Mathias Cormann, is in charge of the department that oversees politicians' entitlements. He billed taxpayers $3,533 for he and his wife's airfares to attend the match. In a statement his office said he had, "official commitments before, during and after the AFL grand final weekend". "As well as portfolio-related meetings on Friday, the Minister had Melbourne-based media commitments — both on Saturday and Sunday — morning as well as a series of other portfolio-related commitments in Melbourne," the statement said. Trade Minister Steve Ciobo charged taxpayers $1,102 for an airfare to the match. His office has not responded to a request for comment. Tasmanian senator David Bushby billed $863 for flights from Hobart to Melbourne and back again. The ABC has contacted him for comment. Senator Mitch Fifield also attended the grand final as a guest of the National Australia Bank but did not charge taxpayers for any travel. He lives in Victoria. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-01-10/julie-bishop-charged-taxpayers-for-trip-to-polo/8173542 and there's a big chart of each MPs expenditure at the bottom.

What's the reason for Turnbull to be fighting the foi request for his official diary? The Australian is only after the first day's record apparently.
