		Trish Draper under pressure over MP travel entitlements
		FORMER STAFFER: Mrs Draper suddenly got interested in a photographer from the Messenger and she seemed to be a bit infatuated with him.
		ALEXANDRA KIRK: And Mrs Draper's former partner, Paul Capon, then said he was surprised to hear the relationship with Mr Sands appears to have overlapped with his relationship with the Liberal MP.

		Draper also showed Leybourne a letter from Special Minister of State Eric Abetz (dated, curiously enough, the previous day, 13 May 2004), which Draper claimed was proof of her entitlements had in accordance with guidelines of the Remuneration Tribunal Determination.
		Trish Draper must have thanked the good Lord last year when the redistribution increased the margin in her South Australian seat of Makin to 3.7 per cent – and thanking the good Lord is important in Makin, as it takes in much of Adelaide’s Bible belt.
		Draper, they allege, had strayed from the paths of righteousness – or just rightness – in the eyes of some of her colleagues and was getting too cosy with the wrong sort of people (politically speaking, that is).

	The Poll Bludger
		In 1998 Draper limited her Labor opponent to a flimsy 0.2 per cent swing against a statewide average of 4.8 per cent, and in 2001 picked up a 3 per cent swing compared with a state average of 1 per cent.
		Draper was left looking somewhat less heroic after it emerged she had taken a boyfriend on a study trip to Europe in 2000 at taxpayers' expense despite the rules saying this benefit extended only to spouses.
		Draper, who had made much out of her commitment to family values and traditional moral standards, looked feeble indeed as she indignantly denied the accusations without being able to refute any of the particulars.

		As it was not disputed that the mistake had occurred, it does not seem to the Council that it was unreasonable for the paper to allude to this previous inaccuracy.

		Draper is not just a Tool simply for taking a "friend" on a taxpayer funded junket, or even because the government closed ranks to defend her rather dubious justification of same.
		Draper's defence is just part of the stream of hypocrisy oozing out of the Federal Government, which obviously has one rule for the poor and another for its mates with their snouts in the trough.
		Draper first adopted the moral high ground when she called for a ban on the 1997 film adaptation of the Nabokov novel Lolita.

		The Adelaide Liberal MP Trish Draper will repay almost $10,000 of taxpayers' money spent on a study trip to Europe on which she took her boyfriend.
