Smokin sloppy Joe's $270 night house rort

Think I agree with Bob Ellis where he said somewhere that Joe may well be the worst politician this country has seen. He just hasn't got a clue. A bumbling moronic self righteous buffoon, who doesn't seem to know that poor people drive cars FFS. And says it on air to the fuckin world!

This time he's being questioned about his house arrangement rort he's got going. His wife owns the majority share of a house, which he uses to stay in, charging taxpayers $270 a night to do so. 

Oh but that's OK he reckons as everyone does it. 

Another thing the poor don't do..

JOE Hockey has defended his practice of claiming a $270-a-night taxpayer-funded travelling allowance to stay in a Canberra house majority-owned by his wife on the grounds that it is an entirely legitimate practice embraced by scores of Labor MPs. 

The Treasurer has legitimately claimed $108,000 in travel allowance for 368 nights over the past four years including many nights for parliamentary sitting weeks where he has stayed at the Canberra house. 

Mr Hockey would not be drawn on whether there were any tax minimisation advantages to ownership structure of the property stating only that: “The Treasurer fully complies with all relevant national and territory laws.” more
