In my view, Joe Hockey, Mathias Cormann, and many others in the gov, are just dishonest crooks who need to be retired.

I get the feeling that Joe is sweating harder than his first budget speech.

Of Course Not!

$%& LIAR!! Mr. HYPOCRITICAL DOUBLE DIPPER!!

Awaiting headline 'Australia dismisses Hockey' despite claims he has repaid debt to Helloworld boss. Imagine Helloworld thrilled with current publicity, NOT !!!!

There seems to be an awful lot of ‘dismissing’ going on in the Liberal party.

Another Crook in Political guise.

That is because he has already paid the debt he owed to HelloWorld - the greed is good mentality is still alive and well.

The time of 'entitlement is over' has now been replaced by the era of owing flavor.

When Hockey is replaced he'll still be in the public eye - as the face of Jenny Craig campaign. Another nice little earner.

Not anymore.

JoeHockey IS the reason we need fedicac so bad

Well case closed then

....owes him nothing he settled with the travel contract

Do you believe anything these people say. Their credibility is absolutely zero, and I don’t believe they have the right to have the power that they have.

lydiadaye Surely the ROC should have a little look,at least at the conflict of interest angle! Hello world😜

Good to see the days of entitlement are over

Pack your bags Joe, you're coming home

He offered 1 million reasons...

The word he conveniently omitted was 'DID' owe

That won’t stop another left wing lynch mob witch hunt. Distractions that favour their idol billshortenmp are central to their campaign.

Too late. No trust in this poser.

He OWED Helloworld boss. The debt has been repaid.

I dismiss the fact that I owe ANZ for my mortgage.....FREEDOM!

It would appear that the CEO of the travel company only went to see Hockey to share a long Havana cigar that Mathias Cormann left behind on the Singapore flight

Does Hockey believe what he says himself... or should he read the things that have been exposed only yoday

That’s because he’s paid back now

Caroleina2 cpyne after saying “HollowWorld”.🤣 Hertz are dying laughing after JoeHockey whinged about their car rental queue at 1am.🤣🤣 upyours karma chumgate dfat dfat StateDept auspol

MORE LIES

Of course Joe Hockey doesn't owe helloworld boss anything ... he repaid that debt by organising a meeting to disclose impending travel needs of govt

Not since he help aquire that billion dollar contract anyways!

Of course he would deny

$300,000 salary plus $90,000 pension. Then he bills us $2500 for childcare..... Still not enough, better get some proper scams going..... PIG...

🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

I think Joe isn’t telling the honest truth, because he know something.

Dismisses in public, privately sucks on a cigar with Helloworld CEO

just doesn't pass the pub test

Just lives on a different planet with a different set of rules! auspol

Hockey owes us all.

Who’s looking the entitled one now?

Hockey should be dismissed for lying

Be doesn’t owe him anymore. Not after awarding him a billion dollar government contract.

JoeHockey

Fair comment, he already paid the debt!

Helloworld chief 'told' executive 'Hockey owes me'The Senate has been told that when asked how he could get a meeting with Australia's ambassador to the US Joe Hockey on short notice, this was Andrew Burnes' explanation auspol BUT please let's get on with running the country and doing policy analysis and evaluation by both the pollies & the media. Scandal and corruption at this level is just a distraction and is actually easier than thoughtful and detailed policy analysis. Travel rorts by both sides. 99% of Politicians are a flotsam of shit stained mucus, congealed together by their dogma of they are the chosen ones with the God given right to piss down on those less fortunate. Joe Hockey, crooked as a dogs hind leg.
