Sam Dastyari and John Robertson accused of cover-up over MP entitlements

NEW Labor Senate candidate Sam Dastyari and state Opposition Leader John Robertson were part of a cover-up around the wrongful claim of $2500 worth of entitlements by NSW south coast MP Anna Watson, a Labor MP has alleged.

Noreen Hay, the MP for Wollongong, blew up in caucus yesterday, alleging that she had warned Mr Robertson's office and Labor's general secretary Sam Dastyari about Ms Watson wrongly claiming the Sydney Allowance while she was in Wollongong, not Sydney, and the pair had taken no action.

And in other news of equal import and impact, kangaroos are pooping in the bush again today and The Sun rose in the east.

Rudd sticks the knife into his candidate Hardman to replace him with Beatie then sacks another young bloke because he abused someone 10 years ago.

How great thing is Rudd's "New Way" that is no different to the old way.

Under serious pressure from their next political masters to produce a set of numbers favourable to the Coalition, they have stood their ground. The bottom line of their Pre-election Economic and Fiscal Outlook (PEFO) is effectively identical to the one published 11 days ago in the government's economic statement. Where it differs, the forecast budget outcomes over the next four years is actually $209 million better than the previous estimate. Read more:...

Abolish Renewable Energy Targets Australia’s Renewable Energy Target Scheme is an incredibly bad idea. Coercing and bribing people to waste community savings on unpredictable and unreliable solar and wind electricity should end immediately. There is nothing smart about trying to run a 21st century industrial society using “green energy” to generate electricity. It is costly, diffuse, intermittent and needs 100% backup capacity. Solar power excels in growing trees, grass and crops and can be useful for heating water or providing electricity in remote locations providing there is also a back-up diesel generator or a bank of batteries in the shed. Wind power can also...
