Story's that politicians would dread coming out during the campaign

I came across an investigative piece back in March this year which relates to the now Deputy PM and what is (best case) described as poor judgement on his part but I'd largely forgotton about this story until some sections of the media and public decided to blow Abbott's 'sex appeal' comments out of all proportion. These overeactions jogged my memory.

 

The article can be found here. It's an excellent read.

I wonder if the same people that find Tony Abbotts comment to be innapropriate, are equally if not more horrified by the married Anthony Albanese alledgedly visiting a brothel in his electorate?

Thats OK and allowed just like Thompson and what he did is all OK and allowed and the dedicated group of hard core  labor voters we have on here will turn a  blind eye to this and defend it to the hilt at the same time running down anything that the LNP and Abbott does or says.

 

OK for labor to do all of this stuff but ooddear if Tony sneezes the wrong way watchout.. They will be out in force and in full attack mode....

I have no idea. Being Catholic does not give me information about pedophiles or priests or other Catholics.

Surely it would be a pointless waste of energy to dread something 'coming out' if that something has already been in the public domain for nealy 5 months.

You're missing the point. Someone has the photos of Albo leaving the brothel. I dare say Albanese' parliamentary carrer might be compromised in the event they were published in a major news paper or online.

It's possible a media outlet is waiting for the most oportune time! Who knows?
