FOURTEEN Labor MPs live up to 40km from their electorates and offices in a trend that will anger voters in the run-up to the election.

Transport Minister Martin Pakula lives in the upmarket bayside suburb of Black Rock - more than 20km from his western suburbs electorate office.

Finance Minister Tim Holding lives in East Melbourne - about 30km from his electorate of Lyndhurst.

A further 11 Labor MPs live outside their electorates but are close to the boundaries, some having been redistributed out of their seats.

Some Labor MPs have suppressed their addresses on the electoral rolls, making it impossible to scrutinise their principal place of residence.

" Mrs PEULICH (South Eastern Metropolitan) -- I would also like to express my concerns about the number of local members of Parliament who do not live in their electorates despite the fact that our system is one of a representative nature. Clearly candidates may not necessarily live in their electorates, but one would expect that once they are elected they would see fit to live among the people they deign to represent. It is only by living with a community that you can appreciate its concerns, whether they are about basic services, infrastructure or concerns about corruption and lack of transparency. "

"Across the South Eastern Metropolitan Region we have a number of Legislative Assembly MPs who do not live in their electorates. They include Luke Donnellan, the member for Narre Warren North. Although he is not on the roll, I understand he lives in an inner metropolitan seat, but he may also have a local residence. "

"The Minister for Water, who is the member for Lyndhurst, lives some 45 kilometres away from his electorate. The member for Dandenong in the other place, John Pandazopoulos, lives in Southbank. I understand the Minister for Children and Early Childhood Development, Maxine Morand, lives in Hawthorn, although she is not on the roll and may own property in Mount Waverley There is a lack of clarity about where she lives precisely. Until recently the member for Mordialloc did not live in her electorate. I would also like to make mention of Judith Graley, the member for Narre Warren South. A front page article in the Berwick News of last week reports she could not honour her promise to move from Mount Martha to the local electorate because of her cancer fight. Whilst I respected her right to recover, it certainly did not prevent her from travelling to Paris. In a report -- -- "

Telmo is in serious, serious trouble.

Mark my words.

does telmo have a relationship with inga!!

Telmo is always in trouble.

Never more so than in the lead up to this election.

Telmo supports cheap ghetto housing for Sunshine.

Telmo writes references for drug dealers.

Telmo rips off ALP fundraisers by issuing false invoices.

He's a branch stacking bastard.

Telmo is always in trouble. It's just a matter of time.

Why has this story surfaced? in an election year? there is more to this story then meets the eye..Telmo is quaking..in his boots...Both himself and jelly back sam david have been trying to stamp out fires around them by dumping dirt...what's the inga peulich connection?? anyone out there know?

Languiller: the West, a nice place to visit but he wouldn't want to stay (95)
Telmo Languiller, the member for Derrimut, thinks his electorate is a nice place to visit but he wouldn't want to stay. The Derrimut electorate takes in the suburbs of St.Albans, West Sunshine, Sunshine North, Albion, and Ardeer. Telmo thinks it's great being the Local member of this Electorate, as long as he doesn't have to live in there, or in any of the neighbouring western suburbs for that matter.

No, instead he chooses to live in Albert Park. In Albert Park, they recently had a major upgrade to the Melbourne Aquatic Centre. A sign out the front of the centre proudly announces, "come and celebrate our new $104 Million facility". No wonder Telmo wants to live in Albert Park! The Labor Government's pouring money into that suburb. Meanwhile they're closing down pools in the western suburbs of Melbourne.

Suburbs like Albert Park are flush with Labor funded facilities. But in Labor's heartland, the funds have dried up.

Telmo's known as the phantom in the Derrimut electorate. You rarely see him, unless there's a media opportunity, and then he has to be careful not to embarrass himself. For example, he recently had his head in the local paper, proudly announcing a funding approval for the Albion State School. The only problem for Telmo was, he had a Principal making statements that didn't quite seem to fit with Telmo's proud rhetoric. The Principal welcomed the funding, but couldn't understand why the school had been waiting for the funding for 12 years. Telmo should have been hanging his head in shame, but he's a slick operator, so instead he used the old Labor Unity spin. Turn a negative into a positive. The fools will never know.

The Labor Government is taking more than 30 Million annually out of the Brimbank municipality (much of which falls in Telmo's electorate) in pokie tax. But it takes forever to get anything back, to get anything funded. Maybe if Telmo lived in the electorate, he'd push a little bit harder for his constituents. Instead, he's probably pushing hard for better services and facilities in his home suburb of Albert Park. It seems to be working.

It must be a real inconvenience for Telmo, on the odd occasion, when he has to make the trek into his own electorate. He must sometimes make that trek in peak hour, when he would pass some of the over-crowded stations on the Sydenham train line. Afterall, some of them fall in his electorate. I wonder what he does when he passes the stations, where the trains have a remarkable resemblance with cattle-trains? It's not unusual for the trains to be so over-crowded that commuters can't get on. Telmo, probably winds down his window, gives the commuters a little "tally ho" wave, and yells out "keep voting Labor, chaps".

The sad thing is, many of the commuters will continue to vote Labor. They still haven't worked out that the Labor party is now a basket case. Current incumbents, like Telmo, are trading on the currency of Labor's good name. But that currency won't last forever, as more and more people realise the truth about what this party has become.

Stinky Telmo has a new employee in his office.
Out Costa's in with Slimy Sam master of the branchstacking
clan. What a campaign.

That's pretty old news isn't it?

The filthy backstabber has been in Telmo's office since Adam was a boy.

No Slimy Sam and Telmo had a falling out and Telmo
told him not to come back.

But now Telmo hates Costa's he is back in.

Slimy is bad mouthing Costas around the traps.
If Costa has half a brain he will spill his guts on Telmo
and Sam

That stinker is back with his statutory declarations.

"I now have a statutory declaration from Mr Cesar Piperno in which he recounts a conversation he had with Mr Socratous where he made threats against me because I refused to help him"

Do you remember when Telmo did that declaration about Dove Sound, saying he didn't rip the ALP fundraisers off by submitting false invoices? He got that one signed across the road at a chemist shop in Spring St.



It's true if Costas has half a brain he will spill beans on what they get up to in Telmo's office.

Maybe he could do a couple of statutory declarations himself.

Sam David should be investigated for uttering a false declaration.

That's a criminal offence you know.

Play with fire.

The sooner Telmo is removed from office the better. If he has to resort to parliamentary privilege to smear his own former staffers, then his relationship management skills are toxic.

Seems to me, that I heard on the rumour mill years and years ago that it was the declarer who had the gambling problem... Shows you can't trust rumour mills any more than you can trust your local politician.

Still, whatever happens Telmo wins. He's been in long enough to get that luverly parliamentary pension!

And we might even get a member who doesn't secure his power based on setting up ethnic groups to fight each other.
