    dear Mods, again, this is not my heading
    the heading is directly from a news item

    PM opens door to Bishop removal

    seems like bronny knew the Rules but maybe greed got in the way.. maybe
    but
    it matters not if the Queen of the LNP goes and decides to stand down or run away
    because
    she the Queen will retire with a massive pension from being a Senator for many years and now the Speaker
    with an income stream, everybody can only dream about

    but you are all paying for the Queen still in retirement

    there bet that makes you feel good deep down inside ?

    PM opens door to Bishop removal

    TONY Abbott has put embattled Speaker Bronwyn Bishop on notice, potentially paving the way for her removal if an investigation into her travel claims finds against her.

    WITH the Speaker copping "a justifiable hiding" over a 100km helicopter flight, she will learn a "very salutary lesson", the prime minister says.

    .....................................
    But Professor Fels also admits the 2010 review could not adequately refine the rules because there was "a number of slightly tricky boundary problems".

    It was well understood and accepted by MPs that they could only claim travel entitlements for parliamentary or electorate business or attending a national conference of their party, he said.

    Prof Fels said there was an explicit exception in the rules about attending national conferences.

    "We took that as meaning that they could not get travel entitlements for party business other than the national conference."

    When asked whether Ms Bishop's claim for the helicopter charter was within the rules, Prof Fels said: "If it's a purely political party function then no minister, Speaker or member of parliament can claim travel.
