Liberal Heart-Throb, Zed Seselja, is drawing attention to Simon Corbell’s forthcoming departure to the summer warmth of the northern hemisphere. He’s taking along his staff to ensure he’s well taken care of.

revelations by the Minister that he was planning a trip to the United States and the United Kingdom, along with members of his political staff and officers of the ACT Planning and Land Authority.

This despite accusations on ABC Online that Simon’s rushed his City Hill plans out the door without cabinet approval.

Nice work if you can get it Simon, enjoy it while it lasts.

Arrogant throughout the election campaign and even more arrogant now, that’s Labour for you.

Don’t forget Wimbledon.

Oh, will the Chelsea Flower Show be on the tour program – its on from May 24-28 and London is by all looking nice right now. How sweet of Simon to treat his staffers AND Department staff to an overseas junket. And yes, we DESERVE this for voting in a majority government!

teh budget is indeed a bizarre wonder.

how on earth have we gone backwards so quickly ?

and 300 staff in the chief ministers dept! to do what exactly!

That is an interesting point. I wonder if anybody has bothered to check that we’re still in a drought (at least that’s what the mailbox and the telly keep getting me) and the fact that Canberra doesn’t resemble anything like the States (Bless em – please don’t bomb me) or the UK. IMO he’s a dumbass and it’s a dumbass excuse for a jolly. Think up a better one next time…

Ahh the wonders of majority Government. Is this a sighter on what is going to happen up on the hill in July???

This is bloody outrageous. Apparently he’s going to be viewing ‘garden suburbs’ in the United States.

We pay higher taxes, they get overseas junkets. This mob sure have got their snouts in the trough.

All aboard! The ACT gravy train is soon to depart…
