Dirty tricks from Barr's office

tortfeaser, I guess he had his reasons for using the female pronoun…don’t ask.

Matt Lawrence was named on the ABC last night and on the front page of the Canberra Times today. By all accounts Lawrence is a career fraudster. I mean, how pathetically stupid could you really be?

When Barr was on 666 talking about this yesterday, he used the female pronoun. Might not be this Lawrence clown?

What next from the ACT Govt: someone being caught printing their own money?

The ALP is, by definition, the shallow end of the gene pool.

Its hard to imagine how our aldermen can even remotely hope to get quality staff. After all, by the time all the Federal MP jobs are gone, then the staffers for the Feds, then the local aldermen, you’re really scraping the bottom of the ALP gene pool. Barr and co get the hacks who aren’t good enough to get a job in real politics, let alone a proper job out in the real world.

why is there parliament/hansard stuff talking about UC student elections?
don’t they have more important things to discuss

ABC News beat you to it by around 35 minutes. But thanks for the Hansard stuff anyway.

Just another insignificant troll on the Toytown Parlt staff.

Why is Andrew Barr so reluctant to reveal the name of his (ex) moronic staff member?

Matthew Lawrence has always been a hack. Read the senate hansard about him:

Senate ADJOURNMENT – University of Canberra: Student Elections – 26 September, 2002

“…that he (Matthew Lawrence) worked for the ALP in Queensland on a number of campaigns, including one for Jim Elder—the former Deputy Premier of Queensland who was required to resign for electoral roll rorting. I understand that Mr Lawrence was living with Daniel Jenkins during the ballot paper stealing incident at the Australian National University student association elections in 1996.”

“…It is well known at the University of Canberra that Mr Lawrence is an open and active member of the ALP and Young Labor, yet he was allowed to be the returning officer. Mr Lawrence had openly been seen within the Students Association office assisting Integrity candidates—and once again `Integrity’ should be in inverted commas—in producing election posters and providing advice on issues relating to various candidates, which matter was of a political nature.”

In this instance, Ari, ‘nailed’ would be the appropriate term.
