MsFionaScott You mean a liar can talk to a liar and arrange another lie to get another liar a leg up. Sounds about right Fiona, tell us where you learned that, or is it just in your nature.

MsFionaScott Oh, seriously, our foreign Service is a professionally trained group of people to manage relationships with foreign governments. It’s not about politicians talking to politicians (because politicians come and go, Governments continue, even if in different form).

MsFionaScott Bullshit!! If that’s the case how do all the other Ambassadors and High Commissioners do their job? What a load of utter crap!!

MsFionaScott A more appropriate headline would have been 'Another Failed Lib MP Finds Home on Sky'

MsFionaScott Politicians taxpayers money for granted when there overseas lobbyists when overseas hello world classic example hockey

MsFionaScott Where do people come up with this shit? Education system obviously a waste of money.

MsFionaScott Both sides sack the ones they don't want when they get into power, cry me a river, liberals did it so don't bother complaining when Labor do it too.

MsFionaScott lol Fiona Scott is an idiot, but both sides give these post to their mates.
