MathiasCormann The bar is so low. Stop excusing zero integrity.

MathiasCormann A million percent. Imagine your outrage if it was Sam Dastyari Halfwit

MathiasCormann

MathiasCormann So I wonder if this passes the “pub test” Paul. Ha ha put it to a vote

MathiasCormann Paul Murray and credibility are not friends.

MathiasCormann Good to see you supporting thieves Paul . Keep up the good work I am sure most honest Aussies would know if they paid a $3000.00 credit bill or not.

MathiasCormann Paul Murray is a joke

MathiasCormann If I do that - my employer would sack me under a code of conduct violation. I like MathiasCormann but if you don’t know code of conduct of your workplace after so many years then you’re deserving of the trouble you’re in.

no surprise, well-fed grub defends well-fed grubs.

MathiasCormann so when you gave malcolm roberts the AOK on his citizenship papers paul that was just a 'mate helping a mate?' with mates like you who needs enemies

MathiasCormann Gee Paul Fancy political news reporters report on a issue involving the current Finance minister, 1bn $ gov contract, Joe Hockeys mate, Lib Party treasurer? So thanks for showing all of Aus, once again, youre a Lib shill

MathiasCormann Bullshit

MathiasCormann It’s not a rort when “we” do it. Hypocrisy. LNPCorruption

RodS108443078 MathiasCormann What joke Labor and the left media are by focusing on this trivia. It’s clear how this happened. Move on. What’s more interesting is The revelation Labor own and operate poker machines. How about reporting on that one!

MathiasCormann Sounds like PMOnAir has been given some helloworld free travel.

MathiasCormann Lies. You just got caught. Not a shred of decency in any of those knobs

izeze1967 MathiasCormann

MathiasCormann This is utter nonsense and unmoored from any notion of ethics and good governance. auspol

QuestionMoreAus MathiasCormann National debt has doubled on MathiasCormann team’s watch

MathiasCormann

MathiasCormann Laughable. And the fact he says it with a straight face. A non story, a mate helping a mate. It hurts your soul that someone could allow themselves to say such a dumb thing and that a broadcaster would allow it to go to air. But they are an echo chamber.

MathiasCormann Paul this is a really cheap and pathetic attempted copy of Fox News. I don't know how anyone could bear listening to you. Have you ever listened to yourself? It's not good. PMLIVE

MathiasCormann

MathiasCormann Shorten what about your $40000 you forgot to disclose

MathiasCormann I wonder if the same 'mate' would help Mathias if Mathias was a suburban accountant and not a Cth Minister. Of course he wouldn't. He is helping his 'mate' because he expects (and received) something in return. This is exactly how crony capitalism, patronage and corruption works.

MathiasCormann Soft favours, fake friends and systems of patronage. This is how crony capitalism works.

MathiasCormann Could all the respondents to this Tweet who are members of the Socialist GetUp alliance declare their interest & identity themselves please.

MathiasCormann Really Paul, come on when you run a country the ethics are higher. You sound like a paid lnp consultant, and I like you.

MathiasCormann Has SHY paid back her $8k yet

MathiasCormann IF THE FINANCE MINISTER OF AUSTRALIA KEEPS UP WITH HIS OWN BOOKS THIS POORLY, WHAT THE HELL IS HE DOING RUNNING OUR NATION's FINANCES! MATHIAS CORMANN NEEDS TO ANNOUNCE HIS INTENTION TO RESIGN BEFORE THE NEXT ELECTION IS CALLED. auspol qt

MathiasCormann it's a mate helping a mate (bullshit)...and he's ok with that? imagine the outcry if it were an alp finance minister doing the same!

MathiasCormann R u serious ffs Murray u r one eyed its a mate helping a mate for a multi million dollar contract wake the fk up

MathiasCormann You said that Roberts was not a British citizen. You speak with no credibility. It was a rort and nothing less. Happening all too often.

MathiasCormann There's nothing quite as predictable as a right wing apologist.

MathiasCormann 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😳

MathiasCormann No a mate helping a mate is when you move house, or fix a car. Giving a Federal Politician a free flight when you’ve also been awarded a multi million $ tended is a rort at best, corruption at worst auspol

MathiasCormann Bribery can also be described as a mate helping a mate...

MathiasCormann Imagine if a union paid for a holiday for a labor politician. You’d be frothing at the mouth PMOnAir

MathiasCormann

MathiasCormann Yeah sure! Just like Barnaby and his scandal! Short memory you have PMLIVE but we guess that your mates in the LNP are all saints!

MathiasCormann Tell me more about your extensive knowledge of public ethics and perceived conflict of interest - 'its not a a rort. It's a mate helping a mate' That's good satire pm_live 🤣🤣 ....or are you serious?

MathiasCormann This is exactly how he would react if this was a AustralianLabor member. Said no one ever!!!!! Time to champ

MathiasCormann Fixed it.

MathiasCormann That’s bullshit

MathiasCormann YEAH RIGHT PAUL. LIBERAL CORRUPTION IS NO PROBLEM AS FAR AS YOU'RE CONCERNED. PMLIVE

MathiasCormann Normal people know that “a mate helping a mate” means rich people with their snouts in the trough

MathiasCormann Federal ICAC now! When the rorts and dodgy deals are apparently not newsworthy anymore because it has become the norm, the system needs a good clean out.

MathiasCormann Let’s all remember SHY trips paid by taxpayers to Qld, Tony Burke and girlfriend to Europe, courtesy of us, the list goes on, hypocrites

MathiasCormann I love how Paul Murray pats the libs on the back for providing less care to refugees. What a great guy.

MathiasCormann If wants to destroy the ABC, get PMOnAir a 10 minute segment on it. He'd destroy any journalist integrity the place had The charter would spontaneously combust Bankrupted from lawsuits The fact checker website would bring down the inet Big Ted would off him self

MathiasCormann Extremely rich mates who scratch each other's backs but one scratches the others back with a taxpayer funded back scratcher. Ok

MathiasCormann It’d only be a taxpayer scandal & a rort if it were a Labor, Green or Independent politician. Isn’t that right? 🙄

MathiasCormann You think there are none on the ALL sides of politics who on govt corporate credit card audit have discovered they need to Pay money Back? Maybe go through EVERY Govt Dept State/Federal corporate credit card and get back to the public....

MathiasCormann Is this the best you can do - how about tacking something of substance like robbing the elderly of their savings and super - greens are pathetic

MathiasCormann Seeing SYH nodding behind McKim is such a joke, she knows all about rorting the Taxpayer!

MathiasCormann Bullshit. It's a rort. It's corruption.

MathiasCormann Awww,he believed🤭... that fixes everything.He might also believe in Santa,interesting 🤫🤔. auspol PMLIVE

MathiasCormann Cause Murray will stick up for his Liberal mates, but if it was a Labor pollie god help Murray would be crying the roof down. Rules for one side rules for the other. No bias on Liberal TV

MathiasCormann He needs to lose weight.

MathiasCormann Its not a rort, its just a bit of corruption..

MathiasCormann Hate to see what they would call a rort then.

MathiasCormann BS is full of it

MathiasCormann Move on....Just shows how pathetic a non event can become news. Farmers...dead animals...fires...floods .....grow up

MathiasCormann Grubby as they get. Free travel, conflict of interest. The cracks aren't just appearing they are wide open on this fraudster. Oh, and what about it's alright to be white. What a class act.

MathiasCormann Paid off in cheeseburgers

MathiasCormann It definitely is a rort and if it was A Labor MP, your big ass would be calling for them to resign! Don’t ever claim you’re objective, Mr Alex Jones.

MathiasCormann bit like ya tax payer funded trips with ya lib mates? right paul

MathiasCormann Grubs, caught out yet again 🙈

MathiasCormann Excuse me may I change the subject? 'HelloWorld its Mathias Colman, I’d be very keen to know more about your “Fly-Now-Pay-When-You-Get-Sprung” payment plan.”🤣🤣🤣
