What did he think - that they wouldn't respond to this smear? Hope Slipper's having a good laugh over this.

For all Abbott's flaws, he showed one rare instance of good judgement in leaving Brough on the backbench. Little wonder that Brough was front and centre in the coup against him - and no question that he made a deal with Turnbull to get back on the frontbench.

Difficult to imagine that anything happened in this process without Abbotts full approval.

According to Labor (Shorten) - Australians are interested in this. It's their justification for using Question Time to grill the LIBs about it

I guess Shorten is right - 15% of Australians are interested

It's not a peripheral issue. Turnbull has shown poor judgement in the past. Remember Utegate, Godwin Grech and forged emails?

Turnbull may not be directly involved this time, but a lack of decisive action from him on this issue will harm them later if Brough has a case to answer. The worst-case scenario is that there's enough evidence to convict two sitting Members of Parliament and they both end up in jail.

For example, what exactly is being discussed here between Ashby and Brough?

From Mal Brough 29/03/2012 11:31:19 AM UTC ... Can that be emailed James it is hard to read (email address redacted by BAM)
To Mal Brough 29/03/2012 11:31:53 AM UTC ... Done. Coming thru in minutes
From Mal Brough 29/03/2012 11:32:11 AM UTC ... Thanks
To Mal Brough 29/03/2012 11:34:56 AM UTC ... Will need to get daily print outs tomorrow with greater detail.

And you have no problem with the number of dishonest turds pretending to make moral decisions occupying ministerial seats in a Liberal government.

Not sure that anybody has said they would be.

However having half of the Liberal front bench clearly shown to be not fit for office does seem to have some relevance.

Otherwise our government will be an effective autocracy, completely free to do whatever they want with no accountability.

Pyne used the 'gag' this morning to stifle a censure motion, but there is nothing he can do to prevent Labor grilling Brough in QT this afternoon. A 'must watch.' Link.
