How come Malcolm Fraser is a member and wasn’t blackballed? His mother is a Jew and therefore according to the Jewish religion he is a Jew. Possibly the anti-semites at the Melbourne Club didn’t know about Malcolm’s mother.

When PM he went to China in 1976 (remember that the Liberal Party had previously always opposed Australia’s recognition of mainland China and maintained an embassy in Taiwan. The Whitlam government withdrew recognition from Taiwan and sent an ambassador to Peking, as it was then called)Malcolm Fraser made a speech attacking the Soviet Union.

Ideologically Fraser may be a secret Maoist, like Mr Holt. Perhaps Harold Holt was taken by a Chinese submarine after all, as was claimed in a book written by a one time ceo of the Melbourne Club.

Guess who is a member of the Melbourne Club? Malcolm Fraser.

NSW crisis deepens as police minister quits over sex antics

Matt Brown is alleged to have simulated a sex act with Noreen Hay.
THE crisis in the NSW Government deepened last night when new Police Minister Matt Brown was forced to resign from the cabinet just three days into the job after it emerged that he simulated a sex act with another MP.

It is understood that Premier Nathan Rees spoke to Mr Brown last night after he confirmed a report that he engaged in “unacceptable behaviour” during a party in his office following a late-night sitting of parliament three months ago.

Mr Rees warned him his actions were inappropriate. But it later emerged that Mr Brown had not given full details of the incident to the Premier, and once they became public the minister tendered his resignation.

The incident follows last week’s upheaval in NSW Labor, in which former premier Morris Iemma was forced out of office following a series of crises over electricity privatisation, economic management and public transport.

“Matt has tended his his resignation to the premier tonight and the premier has accepted his resignation over an incident he deeply regrets,” a spokesman for Mr Brown said last night. “He apologises for any embarrassment he has caused the Government.”

The incident is believed to have occurred on budget night. At the time, Mr Brown held the housing and tourism portfolios.

A witness told The Australian that Mr Brown had stripped down to his “very brief” underpants and danced to loud “Oxford-Street-style” techno music on a green leather Chesterfield couch he had recently ordered for his office.

The witness said Mr Brown “mounted the chest” of Wollongong MP Noreen Hay and made a lewd remark about his actions to Ms Hay’s adult daughter.

Ms Hay last night denied Mr Brown had simulated a sex act upon her. “That is absolutely untrue,” the Labor MP said. “Absolutely nothing untoward occurred and certainly when I was in that room with Matt Brown he was fully clothed.”

She said Mr Brown was one of many dancing in the room. “I think someone is getting confused here,” she said. “Nobody would speak to my daughter, or any one of my children, like that in my presence.

“Not only did (Mr Brown) not make that comment to my daughter, I don’t think anybody would make a comment like that in front of me to my daughter.”

With AAP

Browny must go. He must go now!

Absolutely disgraceful that Premier Rees is refusing to sack this tosser.

Police Minister Matt Brown has admitted to a drunken and semi-naked incident in the NSW parliament, in which he simulated a sex act on a female Labor MP.

Mr Brown has confirmed reports that he engaged in “unacceptable behaviour” during a party in his office which followed a late-night sitting of the parliament three months ago.

A witness has told The Australian that Mr Brown had stripped down to his “very brief” underpants as he danced to loud “Oxford Street” techno music, while standing on a green leather couch in his office.

Mr Brown then “mounted the chest” of Wollongong MP Noreen Hay, according to the report.

The witness said Mr Brown then called out to Ms Hay’s adult daughter: “Look at this, I’m tittie-f…ing your mother!”.

Mr Brown was sworn in on Monday as NSW’s new Police Minister following his elevation from the role of housing minister in the former Iemma government.

A spokesman for Mr Brown has denied he used any such words, but did not deny the other claims including that he had simulated a sex act.

“I can confirm there was a party during a parliamentary sitting evening. It is unacceptable behaviour,” Mr Brown said in a statement.

“I have spoken to the Premier and he has made it very clear that such behaviour will not be tolerated.

“I regret the incident and have apologised to the Premier and given my guarantee that this will not happen again.”

NSW Premier Nathan Rees says Mr Brown’s actions were “utterly unacceptable, both to the public and to myself”.

“Any repeat will bring a swift response from me,” he said.

Parties in the US have primaries to choose their candidates for statewide and national office. Political parties in the UK elect their leaders via a ballot of party members.

Has anyone thought that maybe this is why they are able to attract, engage and retain members – particularly young people?!?
