Comment: Senator Meredith was appointed. If he had to seek re-election it is unlikely he would win a seat.
He just barely squeezed within the law as regards to sexual exploitation of a child. Were he an MP the embarrassment he brought to his party would have gotten him kicked out of caucus long ago.

This is the problem with an appointed Senate. Its members are getting away with actions that are clearly unacceptable to the taxpayers  but seem to be acceptable to his peers and to those who appointed him.

Get this guy of the public teat.
