Seriously? If so... What a Waste Of Money Brains And Time .. a W.O.M.B.A.T.

As is every murder trial eh… Cops say you did - defendant says they didn’t. What a ridiculous headline

Isn't this party so interesting in all aspects they do including the main man?

I'd hate to be two Bob short in my pay if I was married to her...

Nonsense...the LNP have paid out $300,000 in legal fees...just to protect this woman ...who made slurs that have never been substantiated...this does not even cover the fees, costs associated with the raids

She should not answer any questions or make any statements. It worked for the Victorian Labor MP's in the red shirt scandal. Did everyone notice I spelt Labor correctly this time. Twitter is such a fantastic learning platform. LOL.

'What you get away with in politics is ok'. *Barnaby Joyce*

Lies are at the heart of the LNP’s DNA! electionnow!

In court you or I would be sent to jail for not answering

Liar

And 'she' has absolutely no credibility.
