But the fact is that the respons... more

Reviews

4.3 out of 5 stars from 28 ratings
  • Feet up Jacqui

    Talk about the sisterhood. Jaqui’s research on Annika Welles expenses rorting was to read an article by Annabel Crabb on the ABC website asserting that if Annika was a “bloke” then no one would know about these expenses rip offs. Thankfully Jaqui was set straight by James .

    Keep up the hard work Jacqui advertising an ABC hack on the SMH dime. Hang on , is that a rort ?!!

    Two stars for the laugh factor.
