> This week's news on Australian deputy PM living with his mistress (not his partner in his own words) in his friend's apartment rent free is just another good dose of corruption without consequence drama.

Sorry; I'm not familiar with this situation. Where's the misuse of public funds?

so it is normal and acceptable for deputy PM to be living in his friend's investment property rent free for 6 months when he had an affair with one of his staff? his mistress became pregnant and was "offloaded" from his office to minimise any political damage.
