One of the untold stories of the ALP National Conference is about sex. Decorum prevents us detailing these stories and many of the incidents involve married persons who should probably be spared.
And yet one true love has been the talk of this National Conference and that is between a NSW based federal MP Greg Combet, a freshly appointed Minister in the Rudd government and blonde WA federal MP Melissa Parke. Both entered the federal Parliament with impressive credentials, with Combet’s star rising very fast.
It is understood that Combet’s marriage to Petra Hilsen did not survive the transition from leafy Elwood to the Hunter Valley. Combet and the German born engineer Hilsen separated late last year, VEXNEWS understands in order for Combet to pursue his long-distance love with Parke. It is unknown whether Canberra one-time philanderer journalist – once described as a little predator with bouffant hair who sent young Coalition staffers then occupying the ministerial wing into a frenzy of nervous anxiety – Glenn Milne will be investigating the chronology of love. We don’t really care as long as they’re happy, a state of grace that some think eludes Milne unless he’s onto his third Xanax, a prescription medicine he is known to enjoy at social gatherings like the Walkley’s.
Not since the interstate and ill-fated love between rising ministerial star – whose career is rapidly recovering after colliding into the AWU titan Bill Ludwig’s disapproval – Dr Craig Emerson and now Deputy Prime Minister Julia Gillard has Labor had so much to gossip about, insiders have revealed.
Interestingly, another former ACTU boss Bob Hawke, whose passion for the ladies reputedly once led him into horizontal gymnastics in unlikely venues including pub toilets, taxi back seats and broom cupboards, has remarked very kindly of the new Parliamentary couple.
Of Melissa Parke, the former PM declared, quite possibly based on first-hand knowledge:
“A lady of extreme talent and she’s got the experience of dealing with practical situations which will stand her in very good stead in the Parliament”.
And of fellow pantsman Combet, Hawkey professed his man-love in terms many thought a bit silly given Combet’s voracious ambition expressed in his ruthless shafting and white-anting of former Defence Minister Joel Fitzgibbon and his credit-hogging approach in that Bastard Boys television production that made his shrewd then boss Bill Kelty look like an oaf:
He has intellect; he has heart; he has compassion; he has a commitment which doesn’t involve any personal ambition. I’ve never seen anyone in the Labor movement with such talent who is so un-driven by personal ambition. His ambition is the advance of the interests of the workingmen and women of this country.
Patriots will also be delighted to hear that the TEN Network has commissioned a warts-and-all tele-movie on the life and times of former Prime Minister Bob Hawke.
The Age reported the actor playing the former PM required some serious wig work, with the TEN network production requiring the services of a leading international wig maker from Germany.
So!
Oedipus complex !! Must be time from Mr Combet to have another session with me. Anyone available for group, my fees are just.
She obviously has a very strong stomach. Ick, Yuck, Ewwwwwwwwwww!!!
He is hitting above his weight in terms of going through the frauline wives.
Funny that ambition and one’s star rising usually seems to go hand in hand with one ditching the old faithful partner for someone new and flashier (and usually blonde).
He will never love anyone as much as himself though!
Commandment 7. “You shall not commit adultery”.
Leviticus 20:10 “And the man that committeth adultery with another man’s wife, even he that committeth adultery with his neighbor’s wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death.”
The LORD shall punish the adulterers!
Greg is not married or in any other relationship. What he does in his private life does not take away from the fact he has done more for the working people of Australia than anyone else currently in the parliament. Maybe you should focus on the clown from NSW has clearly demonstrated he is not fit for the front bench.

I molested myself last night, I said no but I know I wanted it.
Where is the Pantsman?
I thought he got first call on anything straying on to the Labor side of the paddock
How can John Faulkner Jr cut out a pretty filly from the herd before the Pantsman gets a chance to brand her with his special branding iron!!!!
Good luck to him! She seems nice and it’s good to see a nerd wind up with a blonde now and then.
Combet will feel the LORD’S wrath for his sinful adultery.
She is very niiiiice.
The Holy Ghost will punish those who commit adultery and Hell will split widen open when they meet their firey end.
It would appear that to get laid one has to be a parliamentary secretary to Rudd.
greg gives great head although not as good as mine. what has mel P got that I haven’t? Whatever it is I am prepared to get it from the same surgeon that changed lesbo pratts shemale to a boy.
Gee wasn’t I a bright addition to the Ministry!
I’m much hotter than Mel.
Has she ever been asked take it all for for Zoo?
No.
But I have.
All the bust to Grug and Mulussa

How is a single man & a single woman an affair? Why is this news? You are so biased in your reporting you destroy your own credibility. As for your ongoing claims that Combet white-anted Fitzgibbon, where is the evidence for that? Besides would anyone be shocked that politicians are ruthless, ambitious self promoters who all think they should have the top job. I think everyone accepts that as being fact. It’s outcomes I am interested in. Combet was certainly a better ACTU Secretary than Lawrence is, his move to politics was untimely; but hey, he is ambitious so his move sooner or later was expected. Fitzgibbon was vain and stupid; he got caught out, it was his mea culpa.
Agree with What Affair (23.29).
“We don’t really care as long as they’re happy”
Good for you, Andykins. So you’re publishing this, because …? You might be better off going back to fanboying over Theo and Richter and practising your Outraged!Purple!Prose! You’re not quite up to The Bolta’s lofty standard, but you’ll get there.
hear hear!!
The greatest love story since Craig & Jake.
Another ALP throat slashed. Weird, even for an ALP Right blog!
Combet will be going straight to hell for his adultery.
bit late with the preselection lists, Andrew – they came out at 6pm
Oh, give him a break. He split up from his 1st wife, he was availble, she was available, bing bang boom, it’s luuurve!
Let’s stick to important things…like the corruption in both major parties and the scumbags who run both shows.
I’d rather see this site dishing the real shite not peeping through bedroom keyholes.
Dont forget joanne and john
Although his aim is a little off target these days, the rumour is that Greg’s cannon is as big as the one on his Patrol Boat.
This is typical of a man consumed power the lust for power.
Pathetic ACTU Secretary, Even worse as an MP. If this guy gets to be PM….we’re all screwed!
Both Combet and Shorten have ensured that their careers will not be going anywhere for a while. Labor members (!) forget at their peril what a puritan the Dear Leader is. As he has shown over same-sex marriage, he takes all this Christian stuff about heterosexual monogamy seriously.
Why can’t I find a safe seat?
I allways thought Combet was a sludge packer.
Combet has been known to ‘combat’ both genders
