		Wilson Tuckey is the beneficiary; the parliament and the public are the losers, writes Louise Dodson.
		Tuckey becomes the 14th minister under fire for alleged flouting of the ministerial code of conduct but only a handful have been forced to resign - and they were all in the first two years of the Government's first term.
		Wilson Tuckey has survived as a minister - although even some of his own colleagues are wondering why.

	Australian Labor Party: Wilson Tuckey; Hurricane Katrina
		Wilson Tuckey, a former Liberal Minister, one of the most senior and experienced members of Parliament, comes out and effectively says any Australians caught in Louisiana, caught in New Orleans, was there as a result of their own fault.
		The bottom line is Wilson Tuckey from this distance can't pontificate on the circumstances that young Australians and Australians in general have found themselves in, in New Orleans.
		Wilson Tuckey should apologise, he is a senior Liberal, he should know better, and he should have a long, hard, cold look at himself.

		Tuckey, who engaged in a bit of intellectual gymnastics by describing the decision as "logical", showed the intellectual and moral bankruptcy of the airline's position, and the tenuous link to any kind of Ansett like collapse, by stating that the staff cuts had nothing to do with the domestic market.
		Tuckey has also been the Minister for Chopping Down Trees and during his stint at the lumberyard he suggested that it was OK for forestry workers to take matters into their own hands in order to defend their livelihoods.
		Tuckey may well be as thick as two short planks and show a reckless disregard for the facts, but he's also a grubby opportunist who thrives on the misery of others.

	The Wilderness Society - Tuckey, Logging National Parks, and Fire (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-01)
		Wilson Tuckey persists in grossly misrepresenting the position of the US conservation movement and former Vice-President Al Gore on logging in national parks.
		As for logging national parks, we remind Wilson Tuckey that the Commonwealth's own scientific advisory team# recommended the establishment of a dedicated and secure forest national park system and commented that the reserve system would, in fact, need to be expanded if logging pressures increased.
		Tuckey's stewardship we are witnessing an unprecedented level of native forest destruction for woodchipping.

	Minister for Forestry & Conservation Wilson Tuckey
		TUCKEY: Well, at the moment I'll be working around my house when I leave this interview and looking after the trees I have there and the wonderful birds that fly into them quite close to Perth Airport.
		TUCKEY: Well, I don't express a view on who the next Governor General is. I usually wait till they're Governor General, and then maybe if they say something like Bill Deane did once I'll have something to say about it.
		TUCKEY: Well, I hope it is. But if one is to always go to the election on the basis that the only bit of the forest products you want to be interested in is a ballot paper, that's a pretty dishonest situation.

	Howard under pressure
		Regional Services Minister Wilson Tuckey, a renowned Liberal hardliner who rejoices under the nickname "Ironbar", has admitted intervening - unsuccessfully - to overturn a A$193 (about R933) fine imposed on his son for driving a truck without a logbook.
		However, it emerged that his son Michael Tuckey was not a constituent as he lived in a different electorate and Tuckey had written three times on ministerial letterhead seeking to have the fine dropped.
		O'Connor said it was clear Tuckey had misled the parliament on at least three matters, adding: "On that basis alone he ought to be dismissed from the position that he now holds."

		Wilson Tuckey will not face travel rorts charges but the internecine warfare amongst WA Libs continues unabated amidst heavy legged legal threats against Crikey by the Lightfoots.
		Tuckey has for very good reason developed a very strong personal dislike for Senator Ian Campbell in particular during his tribulations and has muttered all kinds of misfortunes for him when this "is all over".
		Tuckey's invitation list for his celebration will have been very short on Western Australian federal members, as were telephone calls of support from them over the past weeks.

		Wilson "Ironbar" Tuckey is a straight talking man. He is a fearless crusader for the rights of the underprivileged, such as his son.
		Tuckey the younger had been caught by the highway patrol and so his dad used his ministerial letterhead, as you do, to castigate the South Australian police minister and seek a more appropriate penalty, such as getting off.
		What more appropriate institution could their be for Tuckey to receive the co-counselling he so sorely needs that in the company of the other tragic victims of their own delusional psychoses that he will find in the Federal cabinet.

	Tuckey's comments not helping Nguyen: Rudd. 28/10/2005. ABC News Online
		Wilson Tuckey refused to sign a petition to save convicted drug smuggler Nguyen, who is on death row in Singapore.
		The Western Australian MP says executing the Melbourne man is no worse than the danger Nguyen put Australians in when he tried to smuggle heroin into the country.
		"If Wilson Tuckey has got the sort of redneck views when it comes to the appropriateness of the death penalty, then he can do us all a favour and just shut up, because his remarks only serve to compromise efforts currently under way by Mr Downer and myself," he said.

	Adjudication 1112
		Mr Tuckey claimed that The West Australian deliberately printed articles that were critical of certain political parties in editions where the information was not relevant, while printing extensive state-wide coverage favourable to the relevant interest groups.
		Specifically he claimed that an article favourable to managed-harvesting and thinning of old growth forests that he wrote was deliberately printed in the country edition and not the city edition.
		In looking at the newspaper's treatment of Mr Tuckey's article, the Council found no obvious justification for his claim that the opinion piece had exclusive relevance to city voters.

		Mr WILSON TUCKEY: The answer to the question is that the reference to a constituent inquiry concerns a constituent inquiry.
		Mr TUCKEY: I really anticipated that, having the opportunity to ask me questions today, the shadow minister for local government was going to follow up on his press releases where he keeps urging me to break a law written by the Keating government in 1995 about local government distribution in Queensland.
