        until the Federal government acts with integrity then I see no reason at all for the Labor people to cooperate with these Liberal witch hunts. Get Cash, Dutton and Roberts to front up and show some transparency, not to mention Joyce and the half a dozen Libs breaching S44

        Ministers are public servants and have an obligation to be transparent. If they refuse they should be sacked... simple. They serve the public.

        Dawn raids and strip searches for Labor over misused public money that's already been paid back. Meanwhile a new Liberal Party MP is caught almost daily doing the same thing, with no action taken whatsoever. Peter Dutton, Stuart Robert, Julie Bishop, and the list goes on and on.

        Labor said its lawyers had notified police that staffers were willing to co-operate with the investigation & would attend stations for questioning if requested. In August, 17 Labor staffers were subjected to dawn raids on their homes before they were arrested and interviewed.

        One was arrested at his home, taken to a police station, strip-searched and detained in a cell before being interviewed. .The police response was likened to the treatment of organised criminals or terrorist suspects. One law for Labor, one for the Coalition.

        No surprise here. Vic police no longer charges criminal gangs even when witnessing the crime and Victoria's labour Party is just a socialist gang.

        If there was an offence - they couldn’t refuse... what does that tell you?? It’s a crock of shit, cooked up by corrupt @matthewguymp to conceal him from scrutiny with his mafia mates. #springstpic.twitter.com/4daWjM9LKd

        Apart from the fact they are under legal advice to refuse to be interviewed, they, in their own minds may well think they did nothing wrong - has probably been widespread modus operandi within their party since whenever.

        Condoning state alledged rorts because similar allegations exist at federal level is hardly the way to address this issue. Both levels need to be open and honest. There is a state election looming and fair minded voters deserve to know the facts before voting.

        The PR arm of the Liberal party is all fired up today, eh? Rorts you say? Did you miss the big one concerning Stuart Robert? Paid it back so there’s nothing to see here eh?
