    The ALP is steeped in misbehaviour. How many of Bob's staff covered for his louche conduct. Indeed ALP Graham Richardson may have also been served by loyal staff considering his love boat scandal. No problem with that because he was made mayor of the Olympic Village in Sydney.

    He would divorce Hazel in 1995, and marry his biographer Blanche d'Alpuget later that same year.

    Years later he would again openly discuss his infidelity in an interview with the ABC's Kerry O'Brien.

    He described how it "wasn't easy" to conduct affairs while in public office, but he had "staff and security people and so on who were dedicated to me".

    Sexual peccadilloes are never taken seriously when they involve Australian politicians.
