Is Craig Kelly making the right decision here, by upholding the principle of the "presumption of innocence", or is he simply supporting a mate?

Independent federal MP Craig Kelly has declared that he will not sack his embattled chief of staff Frank Zumbo, who was sensationally charged last week with a number of sexual offences against three women and a teenage girl.

Speaking to Outsiders on Sky News Australia on Sunday morning, Mr Kelly, who quit the Coalition in February to represent his seat of Hughes from the crossbench, said Mr Zumbo was entitled to the presumption of innocence and that he did not deserve to lose his job.

“In the Australia that I live in, just because someone has allegations against them, doesn’t mean they are sacked,” Mr Kelly said.

“In the Australia that I live in, just because someone has allegations against them, doesn’t mean they are sacked,” Mr Kelly said

In the public service, both state and federal, if you are charged with a criminal offence you’re immediately suspended while those charges are being investigated and heard. If convicted you’re sacked. The various state and federal public services employ hundreds of thousands of people when all taken together as one group. It’s the biggest single category of salaried employees in the country. That’s the Australia that these people live in. And with their families we’re talking millions of people for whom this is the Australia that they live in.

Trust the Murdoch Hate Media to skew and misrepresent the Australia that ordinary people live in.

Creepy Kelly, creepy Zumbo, creepy Porter, creepy ScoMo, creepy rapist and the biggest creep of them all is Murdoch...well that's the alt right for you and the people who vote for these people are fairly creepy crawlie.
