Why does Lidia Thorpe have to resign over her undisclosed relationship with a former bikie but Alan Tudge gets to keep his job for an undisclosed affair with a staffer? #hypocrites

The irony of Sussan Ley telling Lidia Thorpe to resign.

In 2017, Sussan Ley was caught using travel expenses for 27 trips to the Gold Coast, including one where she bought a $795,000 apartment. Ley didn’t resign. She got promoted to Liberal deputy leader. #auspol #icac pic.twitter.com/atbDIRfLZ6 — Stephen (@TheAviator1992) October 21, 2022
