TA “volunteering”

[***super_nova***]

Am i bit strange to think that if person is doing something for charity or is supposedly volunteering they do it in their own time and at their expense? 

Tony Abbott claims to be a friend of Indigenous Australians, regularly spending time in their communities “volunteering”. This is an enormously expensive lie.  That is an insult to all the people who really do volunteer and give freely their time.

That whole excuse speil was just an insult to Rob Oakeshott and the Port Macquarie people.  Abbott said they didn't get to see a real pollie for years and that he basically spent time there because it was effectively a marginal seat. He didn't go just for the sport  😄

The more he said the more dodgy and offensive he sounded.

Marginal seat??????

That was a bit cringeworthy.

My husband (who is politicaly neutral) said he was surprised his girls didn't have more self respect than allow themselves to get dangled in front of the cameras, then to the BB housemates and now this.

I'd like to know why the AFP aren't investigating and refuse to give a reason why. Apparently there have been multiple reports made about the expense fraud (Leigh Sales). Why did they go for Peter Slipper and not tony rabbit?

I wonder if the Queen will invite Tony & Margie to spend a private weekend with her and the fam at Balmoral Castle. She recently had the NZ PM and his wife & their 2 kids, over for same.
