I'm drawing blanks as to who it could be.

Surely someone around here has seen something at a "bath house" in Sydney.....

[robbie]

now let's not go off on a with hunt peoples..

[Matty Taylor]

let me guess... amanda vanstone?... i'm sure she's a man underneath and certainly the right size for some oft bath house clientelle...

[jpkloppy]

Labor is not behind this accusation.

Two journalists who received the "Fact Sheet" - Laurie Oakes and Glenn Milne - say Labor is not spreading the goss:

Oakes says he received the material from a Liberal:

Agree with jpkloppy - it ain't Labor this time round... not sure whom though... perhaps Abbott??

[jackie87]

The factional Liberal SA rivals are spreading this, albeit hypocritically from one time pothead Senator Nick Minchin and transvestite Sandy Downer...has anyone got that photo?

[dish62]

One would have to assume that because the so-called "bath houses" are in Sydney that the alleged closet case comes so to speak, from another state or at least outside Sydney. But if my assumption is incorrect, I would bet on Joe Hockey (grrr) or Tony Abbott.

So my other top three, apart from Pyne and Downer, who are closet cases anyway, are:


Mal Brough
Peter McGauran
Bruce Billson

that bath house has to be Kens.. i used to work at Peter's and my god all these dirty old men walkin in n out.. i bet one of them has to be a politician..

[tomcatbondi]

Hi Guys

and isn't it amazing how there is nothing about this in todays S M Herald or Australian. The politicans and journalists have really closed this issue down as it is too close for comfort for them ... and for me too !!


and the original info said 'He' was not from Sydney so it counts out Hockey and Abbott - neither of which in my opinion were ever, ever slightly likely anyway.

[Mr J]

ha never heard of this I agree with tomcat its been shut down fast. hmm who could it be ... probably som back bencher ... although it could be a front one ... Peter Costello perhaps ... I'd say Johny but that story be too big to hide and I personally don't think he'd cheat on bush ...:P

[blueterrace]

Not sure why Rudd would face intense scrutiny. Laurie "Jabba the Hutt" Oakes claimed he got it from a Lib.

[Mydoona]

OMG Christopher Pyne is SO gay...no doubt about it,does he have a wife and kids??

[jahemca]

If you want to see a copy of the 'dirt file' here it is..... (SPOILER ALERT: it was Chris Pyne) http://andrewlanderyou.blogspot.com/2007/09/eating-their-own-dirt-file-on-minister.html

[jackie87]

OMG Christopher Pyne is SO gay...no doubt about it,does he have a wife and kids??

Yes, and in the aforementioned "dirt file" it proves they were conceived by IVF.

[Tim D]

Well done Jackie, nice prediction.

[jahemca]

actually if you read his views on civil unions, he doesn't deserve ANY of our support.

"I dont' favour recognition for civil unions because I think that marriage is a heterosexual construct"

What a horrible odious hypocritical little queen.

[Tim D]

It's all feeling rather Larry Craig, isn't it?

[Cobra]

Everything I've read about it says that it was Liberals distributing the shit sheet. Internal factional rivalries apparently. Not that the ALP is incapable of such pettiness.

[atomu]

Yeah. Pretty sloppy Tim. It seems pretty clear that it's the right of the Libs that are circulating the shit sheet. See for example:
http://www.smh.com.au/news/National/Libs-spreading-dirt-file-on-govt-MP/2007/09/23/1190486116618.html

I have no great love for the ALP, and is Cobra says, they're certainly capable. It's just that it doesn't appear to be them this time. Even ALP right-wing hack Andrew Landeryou, who typically loves the opportunity to slam the left for anything and everything says it wasn't them:
http://andrewlanderyou.blogspot.com/2007/09/uglies-liberal-right-launches-sinister.html

Oh, and it's the Labor party, not Labour.

This story was written at the beginning of this when the allegations first came to light, and were originally blamed on Labor: http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,21985,22466405-662,00.html

The blame turned back on the Liberals in the subsequent days but we didn't want to change the original title, as it needs to be taken in context of when it was written.

[eurolad]

Without trying to seem unkind, he does really look revolting, not even a plastic surgery would help in his case.

I suppose that's the reason why he married some sheila, he knew deep down that he would never have a chance with guys ;)

[chad_74]

at least we dont have a pm that looks like a creepy pedo anymore

[peter888]

Come on, enough with the rumours.

We should at least assume one MP is straight!

[Phazz]

Helen Clark....

Helen Clark....
You might be clutching at straws there!
