The member for Manila has some explaining to do 🤔

Mr. Creosote, just waiting for him to explode.

so he has declared it on his register of members interests but you are saying he hasn't declared it - do you idiots read what you write?

sounds like the usual hatchet job

As we all know George is the salt of the earth. He would never tell a lie.

He's trying for the 'Apprentice Old Testament Prophet' look, but it just comes off as 'Dirty Old Man Hiding Out in the Backblocks as a result of Unspecified Crimes Against the Person', instead.

how many chances does this guy get, whats he got on McCormack and Morrison.

Sounds like another little piggy going to market

geoffrey_payne Do you trust what this man say?

MPs are useless except for singing for ballots. My local MPs are unreachable since the pandemic starts, offices closed, phones on robots...All just money suckers!!!

Maverick? 😂
