If this MP is guilty, not only is it wasteful - it’s criminal.
Sacked NSW government minister Milton Orkopoulos used taxpayer funds to repeatedly pay a teenage boy for sex, a court has been told.
In explosive allegations aired in Newcastle Local Court, Orkopoulos was accused by police of sexually abusing two teenage boys and supplying them with drugs between 1997 and 2005.

The bulk of the charges relate to one teenager, who was 15 when he was first allegedly abused by Orkopoulos.
The four remaining charges are based on a second teenager whom Orkopoulos unsuccessfully propositioned for sex.
Police allege the principal victim was paid about $250 per week by Orkopoulos for sexual favours by the time he was aged 18.
So if we do the math on that: $250 for say 50 weeks a year (hey, even perverts get annual leave, right?) for 3 years – that’s $37, 500 of our money gone up some poor kids’ bum. Hopefully some fat guy named “Tiny” will repay the favour if old Milty gets convincted.
