Report in the Melbourne Age:

Deja vu

A TO-DO between feisty Labor MP Kirstie Marshall and a cabbie outside Crown money bin last Friday has not passed unnoticed among Melbourne Demons fans, who recall the parliamentary breastfeeder's cracks at their gallant, albeit temporarily errant, captain David Neitz after he wrangled with a cabbie at the same venue in 2003.

Back then Marshall barked: "To me it means you need serious help . . . get a therapist."

Yesterday her office told The Age that "an incident" occurred on Friday and that Marshall had filed a complaint. However, a radio report hinted that the blame was not entirely one-sided. Quipped one prominent Dee-boy: "If a therapist can help sort this out I'd be happy to recommend one."

Totally Agree.

Another headline grabbing politican!

Hasn't seen this yet today but that's hilarious.

Didn't she say Neitz should have been sacked or at least sacked as Captain at the time?

Maybe she should resign from Parliament.

Here we go, she suggested: "The sponsors should be jumping up and down and saying this is not on...without a doubt they should walk away".

Wow, now Kirstie, aside from being a former sportsperson seeking a new source of income by defrauding an electorate of a genuine representative (and she's not the first nor the last sportsperson on either side of politics to be handed this opportunity on a platter - who could forget Mal Meninga's legendary 27 second political career?), it would be entirely hypocritical to not offer her resignation to the Parliament.

I hope the media give it the sort of coverage they gave Neitz in 2003. After all, if he is to be held up to a higher standard because he is a footballer, surely she should be held to equal or higher standing as she is a democratically elected member of Parliament.

Agree, but she won't and it'll get swept under the table by her party's publicity dept.

Just out of interest what has she allegedly done?

That's completely irrelevant and that question is totally against the spirit of the thread
