Cormann had 'no idea' a travel company had given him a free trip auspol

 

Vielen Dank für Ihren Kommentar.Ihr Kommentar wird nach Prüfung veröffentlicht.

Really? I think the average person would know if they paid for their holiday...MathiasCormann

Instead of criticising him it makes more sense to ask him how he did it. I just tried to do the same thing but I am stalled at the credit card step. They want me to pay!!!!!! Bit rich.

You're right. Cormann's got no idea. But he smells bad. Always has. As do Morrison, Dutton, etc, etc.

Seriously he is just the Finance Manager how dare we assume he can keep track of money. MathiasCormann and JoeHockey should run Helloworld tours. Snakes in Belgium wont work, maybe Cheetahs in Africa or Dogs of Borneo. Weasels of the USA (Long-tail) & Belgium(Least).

All the more for the creation of a federal anti-corruption body, they just keep their grubby noses out of the trough.

Corman: I know nothing...Cash; I know nothing... Dutton; I know nothing... Anyone detect a theme ...Sargent Shultz would be proud of this bunch!

On what planet can you even fantasize that this is in line with community (or even public service) standards?

Yeah that’s it

Hahaha

Yeh right

Give the guy a break. It has to be difficult remembering ALL the freebies.

I’d like to be so rich that I had no idea that a trip hadn’t been billed to my credit card

What a $%& LIAR!! Just like his PRIVATE plane to S.A. to promote his TAX plan for the RICH that did NOT pass the SENATE!! He would NOT lie straight in BED!!! PISS this PARTY off!!

Deny until guilty!

Hang on, so the treasurer chairs a company that contracts back to the government? Surely this is not legal?

Has anyone checked MathiasCormann paid for the previous two years holidays booked through Helloworld, the same travel agency?

I can understand that, happens to all of us....

Well, I booked a trip os today. I've just checked my credit card online and the bastards have actually charged me, can you believe that?, The bastards!

When is a lnp politician going to be accountable for their actions ?

At best incompetent... surely not among our best and brightest?

That's scary from a finance minister

Any Government should be allowed the odd error of judgement - but this LNP Government now has so many, it should be investigated for complete incompetence.

Integrity is something you have to work for.

BUT.... BUT...... Boats

Of course he knew . Morrison now just lying on his behalf

Do I detect a smirk in this photo of this minister

Travel girly man

MathiasCormann is Australia’s Finance Minister for goodness sake. If you freely admit you can’t manage your credit card, what hope have you managing the country’s finances? Is this why we have so many weird things happening like Great Barrier Reef and Paladin?

Grub ...

Ok so maybe he didn't know, but that means we have a finance minister who can't keep track of his own finances! eek.

FEDERAL ICAC NEEDED IMMEDIATELY TO WEED OUT ALL SIDES OF AUSPOL ICAC

So how many free trips does he get that he forgets who is giving them to him?

believes it, ffs.

kumitaguchi It was an error on agents part. Blame someone else, you are like Dutton.

Wish I was that rich!

Since August, this guy has gone from a veritable pillar for the Libs in terms of rep and integrity to a lightweight, backroom shyster. What happened Matthias? auspol

Any free trips to the USA.

Cormann gets way too much credit as though he is somehow above the fray. You just have to look at the company he keeps. Could a more repulsive group of crooks, liars and dim witted spivs exist anywhere else

The only thing I am surprised about here is that the Liberal National Coalition Government Finance Minister, the Right Honourable Matthias Conmann didn’t blame Bill Shorten or the Labor Party for the discrepancy Conmann SeeWhatIdidJustThere Liberals Fail auspol LNPliars LP

should be known as CONMAN!...why r many of our current pollies so corrupt and stupid and seemingly above the law plz stop voting for these wankers!

“If you can’t manage your travel affairs you can’t manage the finance portfolio.”

That time U went overseas & found out ‘accidentally’ that U were mega overcharged. Then told “U shouldn’t have seen that account” & ‘shit happens!’ paying4CormannHols HelloWorld

So I guess Cormann is just given plane tickets to destinations & off he goes, not thinking where they've come from or who paid for them.....

“Overwhelming majority of Australians believe federal politicians are corrupt New survey shows 85% believe most or all MPs corrupt, and two-thirds support the creation of a federal anti-corruption body” I wonder why? FederalICAC FederalICACNow Auspol

Let me get my head around this. Cormann's trip is paid for by Helloworld. CEO is Andrew Burnes who is also the Liberal Party's treasurer. Hmm. Then within weeks, same mob win 3 yr contract with Dept of Finance worth around $300m a year. Think I get the gist. corruption

Is it Cormann or Conman

The opening sentence could be shortened to 'Cormann has no idea'. Accountability - not with this government.

Poor bloke! I know how he feels. I never notice when travel companies give me and my family free overseas trips.

ICAC NOW !!! It's time for this corrupt bunch to go

An excuse cho chweet 😳😁😎

So, who did he think paid for it? Fairy Godmother? Idiot.

Doubtless he blames Labor ...

And you were the liberal finance man, with Hocking. A fine pair.

😑

Cormann has no idea FULL STOP

'I had no idea” says Australia's Finance Minister, Mathias Corman. Imagine if this guy was in charge of our finances? MathiasCormann HelloWorld

Corman had no idea that a company run by a Liberal Party treasurer paid for $2700 travel after his department gave it a billion dollar contract? HelloWorld

I know nutting!

Corrupt to the core.....yet Robo debts have driven people to their deaths.... perspective by this govt on how they treat the public as fools....ENOUGH, auspol

Her we go like the incredibly expensive bottle of wine that was just forgotten now a plane trip. we at the bottom here struggling because of depressed wages should be so lucky.

Remember the time Mick Young was a Federal Minister and he resigned because he forgot to declare a teddy bear at customs? Why are ministers no longer accountable for their behaviour, mistake or otherwise? Same goes for Cash and Keenan, although their coinduct is far worse.

How can you not know you didn’t pay thousands for flights? Is it just loose change? And he’s in charge of our money FFS!

Then how did he complete the trip? Did he & his family just randomly waltz onto a plane and land somewhere nice? I don’t like the idea of having such a ditz responsible for Australia’s finances.

You could have stopped the headline after no idea!

The ‘Sergeant Schultz’ defence. Tick tock auspol

No idea period

The Finance Minister had no idea of his own finances...Oh boy.....we are F.......d

Fair enough. Don't let that get in the way of hype headlines and media coverage though, the numpties need sone sort of soap opera to get them through their days.

So much corruption attached to this government.

don't ya just wanna smack that smug face. i hope this lot fall really hard. FederalICAC

He’s lying.

Wow. Just remember he is minister for finance and yet can't even manage his own spending. Smell rat here.. Small and dishonest man never remembers anything...

So what is the bigger issue here incompetent financial management by the finance minister or the fact a liberal owned company has contract to organise travels of pollies! Is that a conflict of interest or corruption! Of course this would make it easier for Liberal pollies to make

There’s no such thing as a free lunch !

sacarlin48 Cormann reading the paper today... “franking credit card...” auspol

Cmon son

BobBrace2 And he's the - Finance Minister? What else doesn't he know about dealing with finances?

Tight bastards..........not if their not getting paid well with all their perks and super.

How could he not know? What, did he wake up one morning and suddenly find himself in Singapore?!

This absolutely stinks ! Is it any wonder we hold our politicians in such contempt ?

Corruption. Bare-faced corruption!

ICAC

Yeah & I believe in Santa & the tooth fairy

This government lacks integrity and transparency

That is why they pay him the big bickies. auspol

Hey MathiasCormann dude, you are minister for finance FFS! Your story that you did not know who paid for the family holiday to Singapore is a crock of shit. Be a leader. Resign. You have demanded more from less from your competitors. auspol

What bullshit

I call bullshit. Is there anyone in the LNP who is not corrupt as hell & lining their own pockets at the expense of taxpayers?

No2 Squadron Pigs Might Fly clear for take off....

Bullshit.

Ooh I can't manage my credit card but I should be your Finance Minister. Look after your mates Matthias and they will look after you. Just another reason for a Federal ICAC.

Antibolt MathiasCormann is suffering from SenatorCash disease widely spread in the liberalPartyOfAustralia

Bribery is such a fugly thing. Math can not add very well large contract for free flight. he would have slogged the taxpayers through his Finance connection, inside the department. contracts for nothing flights for free.

Labour's fault. auspol rorting

🙄Another dumb politician or a rorter. There are only two possibilities

The 1st four words are all that is needed.

Clearly Cormann doesn’t manage his personal affairs to prevent corruption or the perception of corruption. Not fitfor public office.

Typical LiberalAus

how naive n dumb if he did not know what went on around him

So Cormann is Corrupt or incompetent, which is it MathiasCormann

Cormann generally has no idea

auspol under the Westminster system, doesn’t the minister take ultimate responsibility? Can’t pass the buck to “the department”?

And he’s the Finance Minister?

Uh-huh... And as always, 'Ooh! I didn't know! Ooh! It's a departmental issue that I'm not responsible for! Ooh! It was someone else in my office! Ooh! It was Labor!' Oh, my fucking Christ.

Liar

He is asking us to believe he cannot read a credit card statement. He is either financially incompetent, or lying.

I call BS

Finance minister didn't realise his CC wasn't charged for thousands of dollars... ... ... OK... ... ...

Cormann had 'no idea' a travel company had given him a free tripThe Finance minister was booked as 'staff and family' by the travel company Helloworld around the time it won an unrelated billion-dollar contract. A strategic memory lapse, Mr Cormann? shifty This is why we need a FederalICAC sign the petition to get it on the agenda.

Territory tourism blow as youth travel company Contiki pulls out of Alice SpringsThe global youth travel company pulls the pin on Alice Springs as several other tour operators also threaten to cut their stays in the town. My curiosity bone has been tweeked, I would love to hear the reasoning behind this. I do know costs are pretty steep having made enquiries fairly recently for my wife and myself. It seems as if Uluru has fallen out of favour as a tourist destination which is a shame and doesn't bode well for the Alice. Surely a little more info could be given, has there been a decline over the past year in numbers of people staying at hotels etc? How about business at restaurants etc?
