Mulcahy not a naughty boy after all

Nice in principle Elvis, but my views are drawn from knowing the guy quite well too. I’ll stand by my character assessment thanks very much.

Interesting comments from all on this one – I met Mulcahy and he is a fairly decent bloke. Its a pity realy that the world of politics rears negative critics who pass judgement without getting more than a headline out of a toytown rag such as the CT to go by.

Go over the Legislative Assembly and look the bloke up and then you may form a view based on fact not the ramblings of a paper that aint cutting edge.

Heh – I see you have taken me very literally. I agree that they would require water assistance to fight their way out of a paper bag let alone do something actually useworthy, so made the auto-presumption that it was brought to them on a plate.

Personally, I don’t actually think they sourced the information themselves, but had it brought to them.
The ACT Libs who can neither organise a piss-up at a brewery or effectively scrutinise Stanhope don’t seem to be up to tasking a dirt unit.

“Acting on their own intelligence“?
We are talking about the current sitting ACT Liberals, yes?

Offtopic, anyone know whats happeneing with Troy Williams?
His webpage root directory now directs us to the liberals page about his Federal candidacy and has a picture of JWH smiling at us.

Being found not guilty doesn’t necessarily absolve you of any naughty little actions that may have gone unnoticed by the court process either.

Perhaps the Libs may have been acting on their own intelligence.

“Read the ‘gag the RiotAct’ thread.

it makes for interesting reading.”

Yep, if in doubt – threaten to sue everyone for defamation!

The guy’s a wuss. We’ll see how long he survives as an ‘Independant’.

I am certainly not excusing the whiteanting behaviour, but trying to point out that someone with serious political leadership ambitions should be able to deal with it when it occurs.

In your gushing support for Liberal has-been Mulcahy you simply come across as a wet fart Crikey. Instead of dealing with the internal bitchiness that’s an unfortunate fact of life in politics Mulcahy had a whiney little dummy spit – bringing on the only rational response from his party. He proved his ineptitude and incompetence to lead the party with those actions and the reality is, by warming a seat on the cross benches he’s simply denying a better prepared conservative candidate the opportunity to put the boot into Standope and his wacky band of pinko minority group pandering sops.

The headline is misleading, should be “Mulcahy not such a naughty boy afterall”

He was shafted by his party who wouldn’t see past their own infighting and took out a possible future candidate, but he’s still not a person to unify anybody nor lead them anywhere but down the gurgler.

Caf you are missing the point and Ingeegoodbee, as usual, your comments are vial and irrelevant.

There are two different issues here. One is the behaviour of the Liberal Party in undermining one of their own colleagues and the other is Mulcahy’s behaviour which led to him being dumped by the Liberals.

I agree that Mulcahy had to expect that he would be kicked out of the party after his outburst BUT his former Liberal colleagues are guilty of bastardisation and I believe are unfit, in their present state, to govern the ACT.

You’ve nailed it caf – Mulcahy chose his own fate when he decided to reveal to all and sundry that he was little more than a pathetic joke with the political instinct of a dog turd (apparently diferent from clay). The cross benches unfortunately mean that he still punches above his weight.

Don’t forget that he had a reasonable hand in his own demise, by so publically spitting the dummy when he was moved to the backbench. If he’d just sucked it up, he’d be well placed for a run at the leadership today.

Someone with such anger management issues probably isn’t fit for office anyway.

Should be ashamed but won’t be. Shame is something only decent people feel.

I listen to an interview this morning and I couldn’t help but feel sorry for Mulcahy. Under the circumstances, considering what he has been through, I thought he was very dignified and refrained.

Liberal leader, Zed-instead was interviewed after Mulcahy and came across as weak and shallow. He may be leader but it’s not hard to see that others in the Liberal Party are ‘directing’ Zed.

Zed said that the Liberals would not be extending an apology to Mulcahy even though it appears that it was Members of the Liberal Parliamentary Party who schemed to bring down Mulcahy – simply because he was a contender for the leadership of the party.

Smyth, Pratt, Burke and others should be feeling very ashamed of themselves today!
