Who paid for this dog to be taken overseas and for it’s upkeep?

Why the Govt do not cancell this absurd excuse for a diplomat’s credentials and have her pack her bags is incredulous. The woman is a cot case and stupid to boot. Great advertisment for Oz.

Obviously, the Pakistani Ambassador to Italy is not a Muslim (or the communications would have been “louder”) but how many others visiting dignitaries have been and what offence has been caused by having a dog present during official visits?

Maybe it’s Amanda who should be wearing the muzzle!

Of course we’re appalled the Howard belle from WA now ingratiates herself on the Roman empire to their discomfort….she did it here. Forgive the knows-no-better pooch who gets 10-points for sounding the alarm in time to bring its owner back home. DFAT should be fully ashamed of itself as should Kevin Rudd for keeping Amanda housed and fed on the public purse.

Poor old Guss, I would have thought he had enough to Chew on where He lives or survives but then with all the moaning that goes on there He probably wants something new to get his teeth into & who Can Blame Him, He really needs a Good Bone not Fat. but treat Friends as Friends Gus Watch You are not put Down on a Whim or any old Excuse Mate.

Amanda, with a muzzle, playing opposite Alexander Downer, in fishnet stockings. And it is in Italy, so we could set it to something by Giuseppe Verdi … Ohhh, the humanity!

Guffaw @Paddy, the love than dare not bark it's name.

Anyone seen the Hollowmen episode on this topic? Life imitates art.

And why they can’t bring the Big A back is because it sets a precedent for the similarly crass performers past and future. Don’t you wish Gus another life? The poor little tike is probably desperate for a new home and owner - lonely, starving and bored.

As a Liberal MP, Vanstone met the definition of ‘liberal’ better than many of her colleagues. If only the same applied to the word ‘diplomat’.

Paddyeeee: That was a shocker! I favour a simple badge saying ‘Us for Gus’. Then send him to meet our foreign head of State and her vicious little Welsh Corgis who bite everyone.

“Amanda Vanstone, eh? What a waste of space.”

I recall being at the launch of the ‘Country Embassy” in Sydney about 8 years ago-an attempt by the Carr NSW government to promote rural NSW. It was launched by Vanstone but not before she toured the ‘embassy’ and declared it a “waste of space” to the then Mayor of Bathurst and a few startled onlookers.

She’s a hypocrit to boot.
