"Our govt has the highest ethical standards demonstrated by 3 resignations: 2 from Senate caucus & the PM chief of staff."
Now, when questioned about her statement, she replied by stating "those whose actions don't stand up to scrutiny, resign. Unlike the opposition." You can read the entire Twitter feed here.
There are only three reasons why Crockatt would say such a thing, and stand behind it, and all three options are a sad testament to the state of our Federal politics at the moment...
- She actually believes it which means that we have an MP who thinks it's OK to act unethically as long as you resign when it's done which means that perhaps people should pay closer attention to her.
- She thinks that the Canadian public is stupid and will go along with such a ridiculous statement which means that she isn't taking her job seriously.
- She's just "towing the party line" which means that she doesn't care about her constituency at all and will just do what her great leader tells her too.
