Sex Scandal engulfing Gillard government

Females are perhaps better at handling this sort of thing (as we are more often put in these situations), and we normally sort it out with no drama by just clearly drawing our lines.  For example, shut the shower door, ask what the ‘X’ means, stop or even better never even begin the massage and when asked a question of a sexual nature, just flick it off with a ‘none of your business’ response.  Worked with males most of my working life, (prior to being in business with my husband now) and most tricky situations can be handled without hurting anyones pride or feelings by just being consistantly clear.  This advisor can’t have been very good at his job because he couldn’t even give himself some good advice.

buzzwords: labour government in power, speakers office, chris carter, tim barnett, jonathan hunt, ian wishart, jevan goulter etc…..seems a bit of a trend

I think its most unfair and rather bitter jealousy to restrict the sex lives of MP’s and Union Leaders. Australia has certainly had many vigorous performers in this area, Bob Hawke being an outstanding perfomer in this area with a long career of ravishing staffers and hotel maids.Its so unfair to Dominic Strauss Khan. Even the most boring British Political leaders have been stars at this- with the most unlikely runners like Prescott and John Major taking full advantage of their privileges and entitlements.
  Before the outrageous unfair exposure of Profumo- Britain even had many brilliants active bi sexual cabinet ministers who were at it , every way like Bob Boothby and Crossman- both deeply into beauties young and old of both sexes.
  Not in anyway being close to the Labour Political scene it would be interesting to hear accurate information why Clark chose to promote the rather unctuous school teacher , Chris Carter to high cabinet rank while keeping that ‘hom fatalle ‘ Tim Barnett on the back benches.
  In terms of Profumo, his title of Minister of War was largely honorary- it was not an important position in the UK at the time, the service ministers and the CDS Mountbatten along with the defence and intelligence chiefs were the real inner group in British defence policy making and access at the time. Keeler was simply a young working class beauty who grew up in a railway carriage, had her first professional breaks as a London stripper, with Led Zeps later  manager Peter Grant acting as her personal minder and was adopted by a London society doctor , Ward who enjoyed the company of beautiful young women and used them to decorate his parties of London political , military and intelligence officer society- employing them sometimes for intelligence purposes as with the liason with Ivanov – which appears to have been approved by the UK Cabinet. A far more interesting issue to speculate on is whether Mountbatten used sexual blackmail to advance the cause of the RN while imposing heavy cuts on the RAF and the Army in the late 1950s. Mountbatten was well known to film his nympomanic wife Edwina have sex with prominent personalites, probably including Duncan Sandys the Defence Minister and Churchill’s son in law.
  It would be difficult to regard many of the current MPs as particulary, hot as Jacinda is a bit willowy and I never favour policeman’s daughters. Bridges would have been regarded as handsome by some and Winston probably had a vigoorus sex life in the past. Lianne was definitely good looking around the turn of the century. Helen Clark doubtlessly had a good body up until her 50th,but did she ever use it-but her sex appeal definitely contributed to her rise. I would never have described her as a sex bomb as Laila Hare did, but.

Up to her 50th what?

Probably a story like that waits NZ, if and when Shearer gets shafted ,not literally.Just imagine who and what lies in wait for his job.
