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.
