He might be doing a good job as ambassador in Washington but this absolutely smells. Too many coincidences - presume Prime Muppet ScottMorrisonMP will also treat this as rubbish when questioned as he responded in QT last week? Tip the chum bucket over them Bill billshortenmp !

Ah the man that coined the phrase “get a better job” in reply to the first home buyers. He has a great job now.

All of thern corrupt , they're in politics to line their own pockets and also their mates. We are almost as bad as the U.S.A

Where there is Dirt there is Mud. It's in the LNP draw.

Helping out his mates !

And still people line up to vote for these creeps? For gods sake Australia have a good hard look at yourselves

jboyded BLATANT conflict of interest. The meeting in Washington in April 26, 2017 was arranged after Mr Burnes contacted Mr Hockey. The 2017 annual report shows Mr Hockey is one of Helloworld’s 20 largest shareholders, with a stake now worth more than $1.3 million. accountability

Hardly a surprise. Australia’s new Sir Les Patterson...
