Party started

October 7th, 2009

Bronwyn Bishop has shown up to Piers Akerman’s place with a slab of Tooheys 2.2 and a bottle of Crème De Menthe.

It’s not everyday, as Chairman of a Committee, you get an award like the one given to me in 2004 as Chairman of the House of Representatives Standing Committee on Legal and Constitutional Affairs.

The inscription reads – Whistleblowers Action Group (Qld) – Whistleblower Supporter of the Year 2004.

I was presented for the work we did in formally taking evidence and reporting on the infamous Heiner Affair.

Punch commenter “iansand” nails it:

Bronwyn Bishop, Piers Akerman and Alan Jones. That is all you need to know.

And commenter “hoofman” finishes it:

you are group of political partisans who are using the alleged victim of sexual abuse from20 years ago as a pawn in a failed political witch hunt. You are not seeking justice but political scalps. Your supporters are conspiracy theorists with a track record. That you are among them shows what a liability you are to the party … The Senate looked into this a couple of times and decided there was nothing in it.

Drink!

The Heiner drinking game

  1. Purchase a bottle of vodka, Jägermeister, single malt, Mudshake (if you’re Craig) or whatever else tickles your fancy
  2. Read a Piers Akerman column
  3. Drink a shot each time Piers writes “Heiner” or “Heiner Affair” *
  4. Slaughtered!

* Reader Jason reckons the phrase “unresolved Heiner Affair” is a double-shotter.
