    Liberal and labor politicians are FINISHED; their corruption has destroyed our nation.

  • Teresa van Lieshout - 10 years ago

    Troy Buswell is a CRIMINAL who should be jailed for driving a government car DRUNK, and crashing it. Colin Barnett should also be jailed, for covering up Buswell's criminal behaviour, with the public.

    He who shoulders the burden knows the heaviness.
    He who wears the shoes know where it bites.
    He will not know the weight of the tasks he has promised to undertake until it overwhelms him.
    No matter how strong and steady the wise oak is, it can crack in the strong wind and this time it has.

    Most of us can see the mosquito across the river, but quite often misses sight of the elephant in front of us.
    We are all humans yet in this so called progressive world of today, we are so eager to cast stones.
    Please have some compassion and let Mr Buswell face his own ghosts and carry his own cross.
    He has lost his most beautiful family, now he has lost his career.
    Is this not punishment enough?

    Perhaps he should not deserve his full entitlements with his incomplete term at the expense of the taxpayers.

    Perhaps, let him sort his demons out himself and then be a better human being.
    Perhaps with a little compassion, help from his family, medical treatment and GOD's agapae love, Mr Buswell will then find himself back and his way.

    Life is full of bumps.
    However the more bumps we have does not make life any easier.
    I would think all politicians take on their positions with good intent and purposes.
    Sometimes, the journey takes a wrong turn and hell breaks loose.

    From one being to another, take responsibility of your actions and work at getting well.

    I wish everyone else who have had hard bumps, wrong turns the very best too.

    Best Mettha
    An innocent bystander.

    Good riddance to the buffoon. Buswell has been an embarrassment to this state for years. To hide behind a veil of claimed mental illness is another low point in his career and there have been many.
    And on top of that the taxpayers will no doubt be picking up the bill for it.
    To think he was Colin Barnett's chosen successor.

    There was an option missing on the poll and it goes like this. "Troy Buswell should have been sacked years ago."

    I heard at the time of the crash he was getting a blowjob from a teenage prostitute. As he 'finished' he crashed.

    It's a shame for all the people who GENUINELY have depression. I'm sure a day binge drinking at a wedding is not suitable treatment for the condition. I agree with the above: he's using this as an excuse not to get prosecuted by the cops and hopes to keep his taxpayer funded pension. Worse still, Barney is covering for him. Disgusting human beings. They're not fit to run a bath never mind the state of wa.

    When you leave a beautiful wife and mother of your two handsome lads, to dally with a tuppence scrubber , you really have to question your mental wellbeing THEN. Not now.This is just cos he's embarrassed for d/d , he is good at his job.

    I feel deeply sad for Troy Buswell, however he is not fit to hold a seat in Our Parliament. To quote dirrectly from the Ministerial Code of Conduct

    "Being a Minister of the Crown demands the highest standards of probity,accountability, honesty, integrity and diligence in the exercise of their public duties and functions. They must ensure that their conduct does not bring discredit upon the Government or the State."

    End of story.

    The whole system needs to resign and recruit genuine honest and effective people into our government and to be the leaders of the public. To be fair and care to all people and to not become another American political disease

  • Emma Nate - 10 years ago

    It is sad that with all the knowledge we have that, people assume that it is used an an excuse, mental afflictions. We don't know what his diagnosis is, but clearly something is amiss and probably has been for a while. At least he has the courage to admit to being mentally unwell. It is nothing to deride. If you haven't been there, you can't judge.

  • Steve - 10 years ago

    It is a shame the police didn't do their job. Any member of the public would have had an officer knocking on their door. Instead this type, they deemed he was no longer a threat to the public and let him go to sober up. Gutless and useless police had their chance, but politics played a part. Thanks for nothing.

  • riittt - 10 years ago

    karma is coming for you buswell and Barnett.

  • Chris - 10 years ago

    What a crude and terrible poll, bound to create a bunch of hateful posts.

    You might of well just said;

    "Should he resign from politics."

    But that would of 'looked' bad wouldn't it. This way you seem like your being nice and not inflaming what looks to be a very serious situation.

    ABC should stay the hell away from this kind of journalism.

  • Sharksa Larfinnow - 10 years ago

    This whole thing needs a CCC investigation.Oh that's right, WAPOL would have to approve one.
    Barnett's account of things and the timeline of them look more well written than an episode of Rake.
    Smell of Dixie Marshall all over it.
    The ALP could of course call a Royal Commission when elected.
    (Paybacks really are a bitch.)
    Do you think Troy is crying on the shoulder of Adele Carles or is she playing with a voodoo doll somewhere?

  • Gai - 10 years ago

    Hmmm, i wonder why the 'journalist' considers his political career over because Mr Buswell has resigned from Cabinet.
    Another one who doesnt get that a member of parliament must be elected to parliament before they can be in cabinet or have any other parliamentary position.
    From history, this would be a leg up to Premier surely?
    All his other 'antics' that would have led you or I to be sacked or charged by police seem to have led him to promotion! His highest office has been Deputy Leader hasnt it?
    That means Barnett and the Libs will be promoting him to Premier next.

    So how come the Police only started investigating after it went public, not after the original complaint was made? hmmmm?

  • Peter Leslie - 10 years ago

    Perthnow should have put 1 more pick on the poll. Did he jump overboard before being pushed to keep his pension. What a joke if it was joe blow next door the cops would have been bashing down the door. Covered up by a crim to protect a crim. Barney would have know 5 mins after it happened. What about the people at the party letting him drive home in that state?

  • Steve - 10 years ago

    Why have we not got "FOAD" as an option?

    Mental breakdown my arse, he was drunk. Had that been anyone else, they would have been charged with drunk driving and been fired.

  • Tango - 10 years ago

    Agree with you Jane!

    Mental illness has become the shroud for bad behaviour and cowards.

  • Jane - 10 years ago

    If this happen to me and you they would say we were drunk, if this happens to politicians ,move stars,rich people they have medical conditions. They cause accident no charge,drive drunk no charge,abuse their power no charge,destroy our economy and our lives no charge. Take us to War with another country without reason no charge. What happen to them, they retire on full pension and benefits for life. So remember, me and you don't get drunk ,next time we have to get medical condition.

  • Pearce Torf - 10 years ago

    What should the chair sniffer do?Fade into oblivion,He is a political bully and incompetent with balls like an ant.
    He is now feigning mental illness to cover the collateral damage.He has no shame, and now uses mental health as a cover for his dipso ways.The WA govt is a monumental failure and rife with liars and incompetents.We need a formal inquiry into this cover up including the time frame of the so called breakdown.So far it seems to have popped up at the same time the munted treasurer crashed his car and the cops got dragged in.WA should get a new state election ASAP.Buswell wrecked our economy and made our costs of living the highest in the country.The police minister and commisioner have iced the cake by making it the criminal and hard drug capital of Australia.The media have been blind deaf and dumb with amnesia since Barnett lied his way into govt(twice)

    Buswell the petulant coward should leave politics completely IMHO.Barnett should resign and call an election before he does.The state is in political ruins.
