One of our companies sacked someone for getting paid help into the office and doing it on some peoples' desks and sending them videos and photos. He was always complaining about his mental health issues. I think he was right (and not in the head). It all came out in Court during the wrongful dismissal case (which he lost)

One of the most incompetent ministers ever, Sophie Mirabella, appointed a plum position at fairwork commission on 475k per annum. Jobs for the girls it seems. And how the hell can you justify that sort of salary?
Parliamentary style According to Fenella Souter in the Sydney Morning Herald, Mirabella is known for her "caustic, confrontational manner".[2] Her behaviour led her to be ejected from parliament at least twice. In 2007, David Hawker expelled her for shouting at him after being warned twice to resume her seat. She defied parliamentary orders under Standing Order No. 94A and thus was removed from the House of Representatives for misconduct.[27] In 2010, Peter Slipper expelled Mirabella from parliament for 24 hours on the eve of the vote on the carbon tax, when she "refused to accept a ruling barring her from tabling an anti-carbon tax petition".[28]
On a number of occasions her comments both inside and outside parliament attracted controversy. In 2008, Mirabella stated in parliament to Prime Minister Julia Gillard, who has no children, "You won't need his (ex-PM Kevin Rudd's) taxpayer-funded nanny, will you?"[29] Mirabella again created controversy on 2 March 2011, when she compared Gillard to Muammar Gaddafi, claiming both were delusional.[30] Abbott refused to condemn Mirabella, instead terming the comparison colourful and not language he would use.[31] In 2012, she denounced fellow Liberal NSW Senator Bill Heffernan by telling him to "Oh, why don't you go and pop your Alzheimer's pills". This was in response to Heffernan branding a fellow Liberal senator a "****".[32]
Prior to the 2013 federal election, retiring independent MP Tony Windsor nominated Mirabella for "the nasty prize" when asked who was the person he would miss least in politics on the ABC Insiders program. "She is the nastiest – I reckon if you put it to a vote to all politicians, she'd come up No.1".[33]
You're telling me that the Prime Minister knows about an alleged incident inside a newscorp office, but had no idea about the rape of Brittany Higgins for two years? Give me a break
This has been widely reported on ..... I can only assume from your post that you haven't been paying attention. Can I suggest you do some research on the matter and you should be able to answer your own questions. .... and by the way, her name is Brittany.
ScoMo ..... does he have the same work experience kid writing from him as Fox Sports .... Why would you upset the organisation that pushes a centre-right view and assist you ....
Interesting last time Rupert was in town , the Libs had a leadership spill... whilst Rupert is home , Lachlan is in town which doesn't look good .... lucky ScoMo changed the rules on a leadership spill.....
Clive may have won the last election for the Libs , but ScoMo will need all is Hillsong buddies to save him this time
Scott Morison’s office staff have retained their own lawyers to represent them in an investigation set up by Scott Morrison to find out who in his office knew what and when about the Brittany Higgins rape allegations. It is an investigation designed solely to protect Morrison and his staff are obviously worried that Morrison will stitch-up one or more of them to take a hit to save Morrison’s own hide.
The fact that Scott Morrison’s own staff, who work with him daily, feel the need to pay $1000’s out of their own pockets for lawyers to protect themselves from an investigation set up by Morrison, known as the Gaetjens Inquiry, says they don’t trust him at all. For Scott Morrison’s own staff to distrust him that much that they feel the need to hire lawyers is a very sad reflection on Morrison.

I'm still inclined to think Tony Abbott, Rudd, and Keating were worse, and I'd say Tony was my pick as worst overall - it was a pity - I thought he did a good job back in 2003-4 sorting out the Health mess, but he went off after that...
It could have been worse too. If we hadn't got Scomo it may have been Peter Dutton! I had high hoes for Turnbull but he couldn't handle the capital C conservative section of the "Liberal" Party

Dutton would have been interesting that's for sure.
Read my reply. It is directed at you because you have double standards

Yeah I'm as blue as they come but I thought Keating was reasonable.
Did a hell of a lot of the work to kick start the macroeconomic reforms that the Country benefitted from between say 1995 and 2010.
Sure the line about the recession we had to have was a bit of bull, but i'm not willing to hang the bloke over one mistake.
I think a lot of the more recent ones (from both sides) have been very poor, as politics has moved from "running the country" to "maintaining power". I can cut them some slack with the knowledge that it's been hard to govern over the last 15 or so years given no one has had a majority in both houses to be able to effectively govern, but with that in mine, the recent groups are still fairly uninspiring leaders for mine.

Keating was the last PM to give us what we needed, not what we wanted. Easily the best parliamentary performer I've seen. But made decisions without fear of losing votes or what was popular.

It’s funny because the staunch Labor supporters hated Keating with a passion.

The early years of Howard were good. Taking the guns off he farmers was clearly a policy against what his party faithful would want, but he did it cause it was the right thing to do.
Howards final term was bad though, especially in relation to the massive swelling of middle class welfare in an attempt to hold power.
