That is the talk on twitter today.
If this is true then it is a lot worse than we all thought with his involvement.
Does anyone have any idea what this is all about ?
Solved! Go to Solution.

I voted for Brough when he was member for Longman. He did listen to me on some problems I had and sorted them. After this lot I would never have the same respect for him again.

Did you know that all those people in the ALP campaign office are being paid to not only answer the phone but to also run attacks on Facebook and Twitter??? They are being fed stories and must tweet it around the place... and they attack LNP supporters on facebook... really very disturbing that the head office and the Obama team think this is a good idea to steer a campaign in this direction.
It's not Labor following up this story.
It's independent news and they're asking why Labor is not following up this story.

Someone who lives in my house, but shall remain nameless, used to have Brough as his minister several years ago. He thought he was pretty good, for a Lib, at the time. Not so keen on him these days.
I think he always portrayed himself as Mr Average who scoffed at the games played by beaurocrats (sp?) until he revealed himself to be right in the thick of it.

My parents lived in Sturt. they were friends with John Mathwin who used to hold the state seat. i know a little about the Adelaide establishment and i've heard Pynes whine emanate from a few of the old money types, its an accent developed in isolation, more indicative of generations of inbreeding rather than preference. not that the rest isn't possible or likely..

DY: "I guess this is the part that is interesting:"
"On the highway between Cairns and Port Douglas lies the Turtle Cove Resort, ‘a Gay & Lesbian, Adults only, Holiday Vacation Resort’. At dinner ,on the night of 15 August 2012, a guest at the Resort loudly shot his mouth off about Mr Pyne. The guest did this in front of many witnesses — some brave enough to sign statements and identify photographs."
Gosh you are struggling DY, 2 mud stirring threads a day now, the Libs must be doing well!.
However whilst you find it interesting, further on there is this:
"We have a photograph of this guest and have confirmed his identity, but until we locate and speak with the missing guest this, of course, tantalisingly unconfirmed."
So the "guest" is "unfound" and the story plain hearsay, or as TGSE puts it:
"All that can really be gleaned from that article is that the writer is alleging that someone else is alleging that a third person is alleging that Christopher Pyne had an affair with James Ashby - all very salacious but hardly damning evidence."
It is interesting to read the schoolyard/sandpit posts of the unhappy Myopics and attempt to relate them to the actual broader political picture i.e. are their posts, and quality thereof, directly proportional to the ALP standing in real time?
Once DY is up to 3 posts a day you can assume the Libs are in.
Which reminds me, listening to the daily "market" report on the ABC recently the question was raised how is electioneering affecting the stock market, the broker replied "no, business has factored in a Coalition win."

john i think you miss the point. the main point in the OP may be incorrect, but it parodies the obsurdity of the bolt/jones/akerman smith blah blah that bombarded us all for years. its completely justified and acceptable according to abbotts new paradigm .
i hope you embrace the anti-science agenda as fondly as the rest.
