He would have impressed me if he had resigned and then voted no. He knew once he voted no he could not remain in his position. So what about the constituents who supported the gov budget. He did not speak for them.

Here we go. The blame game. These people are just sleazy. Just an excuse to do what they knew would have to happen. Their problem is not taxes,it's over saturation of number houses

I could live with that outcome

I will support anyone who vote his/her conscience. However the reality is we have a system of gov. that speaks to collective responsibility. Once you are a parliamentary sec. minister of state or full cabinet minister you have to support the gov or do the honorable thing and resign

Nothing to see here. You break company rules and regulation this is what happens. Happens everyday. Of cause we are so political it will be blown out of whack.

Well if you are paid by the government and vote against the budget,how do you expect to be paid?

Ya either pay that vat or pay for more borrowing. Pick ya poison

birdie you are one troubled individual

I agree with you Brave should shut his pie hole. So if the government says they will have to borrow $600mil rather than raise vat these same people will be out marching. The chickens have come home to roost. The bills must be paid.

Boy these clowns are really fighting hard to save their winfall profits. I don,t understand their threats of mass layoffs when their operating costs remain the same.
