The SMH has the happy news that the water thieving Pru Goward will not be returning to Canberra to resume her sinecure at HREOC.

Instead she’s off the the NSW Parliament to represent the seat of Goulburn from the opposition benches.

Good riddance.

i used to see gorton down at the campbell shops all the time.

mainly in campbell discount liquor.

If I saw Howard down the Durham on a Friday sans minders, I’d let him buy me a beer. It’s the least he could do.

It’s a matter of simple fact that the PM is able to lead a personal life beyond the reach of his AFP minders – Bob Hawke certainly did when, I have little doubt that Keating did and Howard does…end of story…anything you see in The Lodge is on a need to know basis – if you personally didn’t see it you aren’t trusted to know – if you did, you wouldn’t tell.

and I couldn’t give a rat’s who he sleeps with, but bullshit is another thing

Pandy et al

Ask yourself how I could possibly have the knowledge about JWH that I do. Think about who looks after him 24/7 then what I do for a job. JWH croney my bottom!

You have a right to express your opinion, but bullshit is not opinion. Bullshit is just bullshit.

Careful someone doesn’t sell you Kings Ave bridge

Dear Mr VG
or should I say, JWH croney.
Before you fly off the handle again at me, may I suggest that you do not read this website if you take personal affront to my, or anyone elses views on any subject. I have a clear right to express my opinion, and will do so, regardless of whether you think that what I say, or anyone alse here, is bullshit. Thankyou to Ingeegoodbee for your verification. If Mr JHW is happy to take office,and all that it entails then he must be up for public critisism. Thats what RiotAct is all about.

It was nice of the kind people of the Goulburn electorate to provide a vehicle for the ambitions of another wanabee Lib leader..

I wonder how long it will take for Pru to pack up and clear out of sunny Goulburn as soon as the town has served her purposes..

Will be interesting to see how much time she spends there slogging through the nuts and bolts of local electorate issues, and how much time she spends shmoozing at Macquarie Street with the rest of the self-absorbed twits.

Sorry, that should of course be 1994

I was told first hand by Tony Wright around June or July 1995. Back then Tony was probably the most senior of the SMH political correspondents up on the hill that Pru Goward was, shall we say – the other Mrs Howard. This was in the context of a discussion about the fact that if Howard wone the election (and the writing was pretty much on the wall for Keating by then)the PM would not reside at The Lodge but would most likely take Kirribilli. His view was that Mrs Bucket would simply refuse to live in the same city as Goward.

Well VG how do you know that the stories are NOT true?

Sorry Pandy, but you heard wrong as well.

As for Sonic, well I have no inside skinny on that front

VG, I heard that too. I also heard that Sonic is having a fling on the side.

My pint is your story is bullshit. I would have though that was obvious by the fact I quoted you then said ‘bullshit’.

I’m also stating your ‘source’ is also a bullshitter.

Please get back to me if that isn’t clear enough

Huh? So whats your point?

“I heard she was John Winston Howards squeeze on the side for years, maybe that helps, god knows it couldn’t have been for any other reason.”

What absolute bullshit. Who told you, my mother’s brother’s cousin’s next door neighbour’s friend’s sister who knew someone who lived in Canberra?

By the way, Johnboy, in case you meant your post literally, I think Pru’s HREOC office was in Sydney, not Canberra…

Hmmm, does this mean Howard will do the Sydney-Canberra leg (over) by car from now on with a stop-over in Goulburn? Anyone recall which journo it was who could only refer to the Howard/Goward affair (so to speak) by noting that Pru and Janette have the same body shape??????

You can’t say things like that dusty, Pru might have to break down and cry about the nasty rumours flying around about her ala Our Brave Leader, Stanhopeless and his Waterworksgate.

Actually I think she’s tough enough to handle it

I heard she was John Winston Howards squeeze on the side for years, maybe that helps, god knows it couldn’t have been for any other reason.

Stephenson would have made a great local member for Goulburn. The locals who weren’t local to Goulburn weren’t so sure about him.

Pauline!!!!! hehe

A pity – Stephenson would have made a good *local* member.

As for water rights, Goulburn wouldn’t have the problem it does if almost all of their catchment wasn’t locked up by the Sydney Catchment Authority…

Pru…wasn’t she on Kath and Kim?

Who do you have to sleep with to get a job in Parliament?

Pauline Hanson, hehe

Heck, even if you don’t sleep with her, she’ll say you did in her next book.

Who do you have to sleep with to get a job in Parliament?

Pauline Hanson, hehe

Does that mean Howard will move into the Lodge at last?

Don’t do that vg…this room isn’t only for drop-kicks and doomsters

Sorry, will move along

vg, you must be new here… 🙂

DarkLadyWolfMother12:05 pm 30 Mar 07

You’ve got it wrong, vg, this is a bitching post. Kudos are next door.

She was good at the HREOC and is a nice person. She is welcome back any time.

We don’t own the rights to the entire water supply of the region

Obviously not you Pandy

Anyone who helped beat a government once on an evil government plot (school closures in her case) is worth something in my books.

I hope she gives the evil NSW ALP a run for their money.

Who do you have to sleep with to get a job in Parliament?

Well done Pru, I am sure you’ll make a wonderful contribution to the NSW Parliament.
