There was more than a little irony in the idea of the Minister of Entitlement and Indignation Chris Carter accepting a post witht he UN to sort out corruption in Afghanistan.
But now there’s more. He did his valedictory speech a couple of weeks ago, started the new job last week but has only just got around to tabling his resignation with the Speaker – and it doesn’t take effect until the end of the month.
What’s worse, collecting two salaries for a fortnight; accepting yet more pay for being an MP when he’s no longer being one; or that parliamentary rules allow that to happen?
Hat tip: No Right Turn
