With no great love at present for NSW Labor or Stewart I find the method in which the conclusion was reached that Stewart was “guilty” of this apparent “knee touching” fairly disturbing. Sounds more like a Star Chamber decison with a barister to give it added gravitas. Stewart is correct in demanding a proper judicial finding..not the character assasination he just went through. And he has been assisiting the great YOTs charity long befoe the big names got involved.

Methinks it all comes down to the “conspiracy” that Stewart is proxy for Keating, and that letter than Ramsey ran in the SMH against Rudd was the final straw. Stewart became radioactive after that and PK too while the pineapple mafia run things … and they do.

I’m no fan of right-wing trogs but there was nothing in Alex Mitchell’s piece that made me think less of Tony Stewart. In fact, based on the headlines I’d be more likely to vote for the bloke. He sounds like a colourful knockabout character, which is preferable to the beige clones the ALP tends to put forward these days.
I haven’t kept up with what he is said to have done at the party but if it involved sexual harrassment then he quite rightly should have been sacked as a minister and he has been. Nothing wrong with staying in parliament though and I don’t think the indiscretion is one that necessarily prohibits him from a return to the frontbench following the next election - albeit in a shadow capacity. Given his margin, he might be the only Labor MP left.
