        Was this the same Melbourne Cup where J Bishop made an appearance with her "entitled person" whose travel was paid for by the taxpayer?

        Bill was getting cutesy with terminology in claiming family travel but refusing to disclose pecuniary interests of his 'not partner' ? Better tell The Oz you've got Mondays front-page.

        And just look at how much @JulieBishopMP and her "not my partner" partner have racked up on the taxpayer purse - and she claims expenses for him as family! Get real @australian. Your articles are garbage. @billshortenmp did you leave a driver waiting all day while you dabbled?

        Are these the same companies & corporations that 'under staff' and actually cause further unemployment? The same companies that take short cuts in WHS? Tax breaks should be for those who create & sustain employment. Governments shouldn't feed greed. @johnawhistler @AlanJones

        I would support it if they brought back all the call centre jobs etc to Australia & these can easily be placed in rural cities where affordable housing is already in place. & not contracted out!

        Are people finally waking up to this bloke? Not before time! He's a fraud and stands for nothing and the thought of him becoming PM leaves me very worried.
