    Is that a record for shortest Ministerial career?

    He has resigned, done the right thing, bollix he should have been sacked, he should resign his seat.

    Hotel saying they did nothing wrong??

    No more than 50 in 2 separate rooms.

    Does that mean we can have a wedding event of 100 in two partitioned rooms? Wasn't my understanding.

    The government is all over the place.

    Martin has no authority.

    The Health and Education Ministers are amateurs.

    Can we come up with a better term for this than golfgate.

    It lacks originality To say the least at this stage that every political controversy gets the word gate at the end of it.

    It’s nearly 30 years since watergate FFS.


    Plus the government has to fire Calleary or don’t dare issue anybody in this country with another guideline again.

    This is Michaels Dominic Cummins moment, will he go all Boris on it and stick two fingers up at the people????

    Shower of hypocritical, parasitic, elitist b@st@rds-gate

    Calleary has resigned

    Edit - oops, bit late - good news travels fast
    Now for the useless senators

    I don't see why any senators on this list should be getting away with this. Now that Calleary has gone, there should be just as much focus on any other public representative that attended this.

    I see the hotel are putting the blame on the Hotels federation for hosting this..there should be examples made here.

    It's not as if any of these senators would be a loss, clearout needed.

    Yep I could really see hotel staff standing up to a bunch of politicians to say you must stay in your allocated partitioned room no mixing, can you?????

    I actually think there was one way back even before Barry Cowan who lasted less time in the role, I'm open to correction.

    Calleary should have resigned immediately last night following his "apology" so no question he was pushed out this morning, it was the only outcome that had to happen

    Within FF no else will go but yes there's several more who should be off. Hogan is not famous for humility however.

    He was supposed to appear on morning radio to do interviews. That got cancelled and he resigned instead.

    Essentially another sacking.

    What's the odds, Leo or Ryan will pull the plug on this shambles of a government, its all playing out nicely for Leo, the most Cunning and Devious of them all

    Never thought I'd say this, but come back Leo. Much steadier hand navigating these difficult waters at the minute.
