Malcolm Turnbull, Do not appoint Arthur Sinodinos to replace Sussan Ley!
Malcolm Turnbull, Do not appoint Arthur Sinodinos to replace Sussan Ley!
The Issue
Dear Hon Malcolm Turnbull
Sussan Ley has rightly stood down as a minister while questions are being asked of her. It is fair that she answer a case of taking a taxpayer funded trip to buy an apartment and that she answer questions about her NYE flights to Brisbane accordingly. This is accountability. In stepping down, she is doing the right thing.
You in planning to appoint Senator Arthur Sinodinos, are not!
We understand that you intend to appoint Arthur Sinodinos in her place, is this a Joke! This is a man who was the former Chairman of Australia Water holdings (AWH) an Eddie Obeid associated company. He received a $200,000 a year salary for doing "a couple of week's work". He regularly enjoyed lavish perks like other AWH directors like Limosine rides and would get a $10-$20 million dollar payday if the right government contract was signed.
He then gets mentioned in ICAC again with a $700,000 donation to the Liberal party from Real estate developers via an organisation called the Free Enterprise Foundation. ICAC has even said it found it "difficult to accept" that Arthur had no knowledge of these donations.
Arthur is the exact kind of politician that we do not want in Canberra. If Sussan Ley has a small Jetstar sized question mark, Arthur has a Hundred thousand dollar one. I fail too see the point in appointing a man who clearly indulged in lavish perks to fill a casual vacancy created by a politician stepping aside while her potential miss use of perks is investigated.
Don't carry through and appoint Arthur Sinodinos in this circumstance. His behaviour was legitimate grounds for an ICAC investigation and even if not named, calls his actions into fair question. Many will find his past behaviour far worse then any potential digression of Ley. It is an absolute Joke and treats the tax paying public with utter disrespect.
