  1. We have been told the GOOD Senator was being paid $200,000 a year for 2 hours work a week and most of these funds were straight from the NSW Tax payer.

    This is considered OK and HIGHLY ETHICAL by his Liberal mates as it is OK to have done that before he became a Liberal Senator as he did not spend any of this income on the girls of the night and he did not belong to a Union where member of UNIONS who pay union fees as they only pay tax so the good Senator was well paid before he became a Senator.
