WhosFibbing Name and shame this lunatic

LNP expels north Queensland MP Jason CostiganThe LNP expels its north Queensland MP Jason Costigan. what a blow Wait.....didnt he deny the allegations I guess its just another person falling victim to the all-powerful female privilege So no police report, no charges, from 'the family of a woman' - that's hearsay BTW. Hardly due process - or any process for that matter. He'll likely join the ranks of Rush, MacLachlan having their names cleared & charges falling like flies, then sue their arses off.
