Is Peter Slipper being forced to step down due to his taxi and food expenses, or is it related to his sexual preferences?
As politicians engage in discussions about same-sex marriage and allow MPs to vote freely, can allegations of homosexual favors truly justify his dismissal? Once again, it seems we have a case of double standards.
Both the Church and followers of Christianity and Islam oppose same-sex marriage. While this nation stands for freedom of choice, it also chooses to pass judgment on Slipper.
Could it be that the media, both newspapers and television, seeks to exploit a narrative that has been kept away from the public eye? Perhaps the secrecy surrounding the private lives of politicians, combined with inflated expenses, suggests there is more beneath the surface of this story?
