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.

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.
