The cabcharge accusations have now been withdrawn, and the rest of the case is he said she said, this will fail. It will also damage the lying Libs more than the gov. This was a lie hatched between Pyne and Ashby, and Pyne should resign,as should phony Tony when it is proven he was also involved. I said all along this was phony Tony's Grech moment and today's news enforces that.
Abbott is too cunning to get directly involved in this sort of thing. For sure it would be entirely handled by underlings like Pyne.
I wonder what the next distraction is that the Abbott team will dream up is and how long before they get caught red handed. that will be a laugh.
Abbott enjoys setting people up on false charges as was proved with the Pauline Hanson prison debacle.
Abbott will happily use mafia style tactics to get competitors out of the way..even ruining their lives with false accusations and setting them up for prison sentences
That was a long time before he became opposition leader. Now that he is leader of the Liberals, I am sure Howard denied involvement in the 'Put Hanson in Jail' campaign.
The Liberals were teaching Abbott not to be so honest about his assassination campaigns:
Honest Tony's too up front, says PM
August 28, 2003
Prime Minister John Howard today defended the honesty of his senior minister Tony Abbott over his explanation of a campaign against One Nation.
Mr Abbott last night defended the truth of his 1998 response to a media question that absolutely no funds had been offered to One Nation dissident Terry Sharples to support his court battle against the party.
It has since emerged that Mr Abbott guaranteed Mr Sharples would not be left out of pocket by the court action.
Mr Abbott defended the truth of that answer, saying an offer to cover costs and provide free lawyers was not an offer of funds.
Mr Howard said he was not going to enter the debate about whether Mr Abbott had given a complete answer.
"Tony's given his explanation; I've always found him to be an honest person," Mr Howard told ABC radio.
"I do take his point that you can draw a very clear distinction between a direct offer of money and saying to somebody, particularly where pro bono lawyers are involved, you not going to be out of pocket.
"Now that's his view and I've always found Tony a very straight up and down bloke.
"In fact, one of the criticisms of Tony Abbott is that he's too up front."
