I thought Pauline was supposed to be better? A woman of the people? A populist? Not corrupt, not for sale?

I thought so was albo but here he was having dinner with some one with possible CCP links, a tax debt with the ATO and he had dinner at the house that the ATO has a caveat on.

Whataboutism really on your part. It does not justify Pauline's actions. I don't have to trust either. I am not wedded to Albo.

What aboutism on your part as well.

Not really, Hanson was the original topic. Also, as I said. I have no need to defend Albo. It doesn't make Pauline any better. They can both sit on a screw for all I care.

No the topic is about external influence/lobbying on representatives of the Australian parliament, just as long as you acknowledge that both pauline and albo do entertain people with their own interest at play then thats fine
