Ho ho ho, and a bottle of Rum!!!!! Brough, the sleazebag slime ball was up to his shittey neck in all this matter. Clive is now dumping on him, again. This surfaced earlier in the lead up to the 2013 Federal Election, and when I became aware of it, I urged Palmer to go to the schmenia and tell all. He did, and Brough called Clive a 'liar.' Clive sued Brough for defamation, but he allowed that to drop away after he won the seat of Fairfax and to get a bit of local harmony. Clive's seat, Fairfax, is immediately adjacent to Brough's, Fisher, here on the Sunshine Coast. But, now it is re-surfacing, Clive is back with it. Yee hah!!!!

This is an up-date. Shame Mr Smith did not bung this here, an existing Thread. Repetition on the same issue dilutes the impact, but there ya go.

I saw that Article this afternoon, and passed it on to one of my Blue Rinse Brigade Liberal Party diehards who swears by The Drum. Ha.

Malcolm is very fragile on that issue of judgement. It may well be his Achille's heel.

But, Brough was a mover and shaker in getting rid of Abbott (as was that other Sunshine Coast lightweight, Wyatt Roy) and they each had to be paid their pieces of silver, despite the facts that Turnbull ought to have known they are both potential time bombs for him.

The Abbott crowd will be watching. Anyone see Tony in Parliament today?

I didn't 'bung it here' because it wasn't actually about the Ashby case, but rather Turncoats handling of it and how it might affect his term as PM.

Turdball would be crazy to say or do anything about it, last thing he would want would be to associate his name in any part of it.

All he needs to do is to let it run its course and at the end see how many Abbott supporters he gets to sack.

Turnbull is already very closely tied to the ultimate fate of Brough. As has been stated, it goes to his penchant for lack of judgement, ala Gordon Gretch. When Abbott sidelined Brough, he became a Turnbull disciple and would have been one of Turnbull's main white ants of Abbott. Turnbull gets the Leadership and must reward Brough, he reckons. Bad error. The error was compounded when Turnbull made Brough Special Minister of State dealing with matters of Parliamentary integrity....and yet here the sleazeball is.....under investigation for lacking that very quality, having been put there by Turnbull who knew this "Ashby/Slipper diary" issue was a very dark cloud over the head of Brough.

In an episode of Sixty Minutes (September, 2014) Brough admitted he asked Ashby to get for him copies of Slipper's Diary and he justified that on the basis that Slipper was a criminal. (Timing....at that time September 2014, Slipper had been convicted, but....bad news for Brough....when Slipper later won an Appeal which quashed the conviction. Ooops!)

You will read in this link to an interview he gave in 2013 (just before the election) that he did nothing with the Diary copies.

Begs the question which was not asked of him by Sixty Minutes which is......Why did he want the copy if he had no intent to do anything with them?

The public have no right to break the law on a Fishing (pun intended) expedition....Police need a search warrant to obtain such information....Brough should have reported this alleged crime to the relevant authorities to investigate if he thought there was a crime committed....Brough and Ashby have every chance of being charged with conspiracy to obtain information under false pretences....Slipper did nothing wrong and the LNP tore him down for political reasons not any concern about rorting travel expenses....If they did have genuine concerns about such behaviour why did Tony Abbott defend Bronwyn Bishop despite her abuse of entitlements being far worse than Peter Slipper???

Huh

Think you will find that Labor have played no part in any of it - it has just been the Liberals digging the hole deeper and deeper to the point where even the Australian police can no longer ignore it.

If it was a Labor, Union or Greens member embroiled in this sleaze Cods would be all over it....The only comment made was to defend or deflect the indefensible....Hilarious!!!

Providing the contents of an MP's diary to a member of the public could have very serious repercussions if the member of the public has ill intent towards the MP....James Ashby was put in a position of trust and violated that trust by providing confidential information to a member of the public....Mal Brough must be sacked for his corrupt behaviour IMO!!!
