There must be a spot for a new bag-man.

Nothing but a hall of mirrors. What a joke.

Our Fred would like to practice human rights in the same manner that his pals the Castro brothers do.

Robert Mugabe could not have said it better. Please remember that it is always the most corrupt and dictatorial regimes that fall back on these pathetic peons to how open and democratic they are instead of addressing their police state methods. Anyone who criticizes is a traitor. More of the same from the Castro pal, Fred.

"However, Mr Christie maintained that the money will be well accounted for using measures that are already enshrined in law."
Does anyone else get a strong sense of irony in this statement by our P.M.? The same measures that permit unaccounted millions to disappear from government apparatus every year?

Fred wants to impose Cuban rules. Whatever the dictators say, is the law.

Does anyone care what this guy says?

Yes all is well in the republic. All one has to do is listen to our worthy representatives in government. Nothing to see here. Move on.

So the position of the ruling party is that a sitting member of parliament can come the house, and do or say anything he wishes, whether relevant to legislation or discussion properly before the house or not, and such Member has a blanket immunity regardless of the law of the land? That is idiocy and there is ample precedent from Great Britain and other parliamentary democracies that such is not the case. This is typical of bullies faced with a courageous opponent. Make faces, scream and yell while cowering behind whatever bench or tree they can find handy. All this noise will simply "go away" when they are rebuked in court decision after court decision. God save freedom and the rule of law!

They will appeal. They will not win. They will lose cold. The law is quite clear. Parliamentary privilege does not trump rights guaranteed in the Constitution. There are numerous cases in point in Great Britain.
