There is no question Mrs Bishop has to be held accountable, if in fact it is proven that she fraudulently used tax payer funds. Foolishness is not a hanging offense but fraud is. Mr Burke on the other hand has three questions to answer.
- Does his use of tax payer funds for family holidays (whilst perhaps within the very loose guidelines) pass the reasonableness test in the electorate
- What benefits has he delivered to the electorate in accepting personal freebies, does this also pass the reasonableness test in the electorate
- What has he promised his benefactors in exchange for his many free gifts
From where I sit I have serious doubts about questions one and two and grave concerns in relationship to number three.
