A correspondent to The Daily Examiner has thanked the paper for running a piece last week (Was it the ghost of Steve? 29/2/2012) about Hansard inadvertently showing the former and disgraced MP for Clarence Steve Cansdell as having voted in parliament recently, despite the former MP having hastily resigned from parliament as a consequence of failing Stat Decs 101.
FUNNY STORIES
Thanks for your funny story about how Steve Cansdell still gets to have his vote recorded in the NSW Government six months after he resigned.
Would be even funnier if it wasn't serious.
Nevertheless, I'm sure there are some other funny stories with which you can entertain readers no end, by adding a little detail.
Firstly, isn't it funny that Mr Cansdell is still driving when he supposedly lost his licence due to losing all points as a serial speeder?
Secondly, who owns the car?
Wouldn't it be funny if the NSW Government has forgotten to repossess it?
And the ultimate funny story: if a statutory declaration is made falsely under the Oaths Act, there has historically been a mandatory four-year jail term - no ifs or buts.
If Mr Cansdell has admitted to such a falsehood, isn't it funny the law is not applied and taxpayers are pacified with the old "ongoing investigation" furphy?
Is this like the "ongoing investigation" of Wollongong council's planning decisions, involving many other state members?
How funny is that?
