Twisting facts

1 Some observers say they are comforted by the fact that those complaining loudest about some in the media and some media houses twisting the facts are the ones seem determined to recast the truth through their own political lenses.

Happy with his back!

3 They say with all the talk about performance, his record speaks for itself as some in the department he once headed are happy to see him gone. They say his tenure was one of terror and favouritism as the ladies and others he favoured were promoted. They say this resulted in junior employees leapfrogging senior more capable ones and caused staff morale to be at an all-time low.

4 Word is that the would-be monogamist and ardent social climber is now under investigation. Story is the company is quite unhappy with the current state of affairs.

Who's returning?

5 Talk that a JLP victory could see the return of the 'bruised' one to the Senate have many in a tizzy! The news is so unwelcome that some want a comment from the top one quickly.

6 Some say it's another case of strange bedfellows, in reference to the new grouping of supposed civil watchdogs looking out for the public interest. They argue that the failed politician, and businessman who supposedly speaks for the organisation, lack the moral authority to pronounce on these matters.
