I wish someone would help Mal Brough understand at least one thing. The Full Court of the Federal Court of Australia in their 27th February 2014 decision on the Ashby appeal of the Rares J decision is NOT about him. It is about whether the primary judge, Justice Rares, appropriately made an interlocutory order […]

Turnbull invites the #Ashbygate Zombie to haunt his new Government: @Boeufblogginon comments
September 23, 2015
The Ashby Affair is like a zombie, one of the undead. You can’t kill it with an axe. It just keeps on walking, slowly and inexorably, towards those who were involved in this sorry saga. While Mal Brough remains in Parliament the issue of his role in the tawdry affair will not go away. Brough’s […]
Please @turnbullmalcolm don’t soil new era with #Ashbygate liar @MalBrough_MP: @margokingston1 comments
September 22, 2015
What? Mal Brough is our Special Minister of State? Excuse me? Like so many Australians, I was filled with an unbearable lightness of being on the removal of Tony Abbott and with hope that a new era of honest, policy-based politics had begun.

Is Brough really a Fisher shoo-in?
September 2, 2013
[clear] By Rodney Edwin Lever 2 September 2013 “Liar, liar, pants on fire.” When Archie Cameron was Speaker, the word “liar” was considered un-parliamentary and the use of it brought summary ejection from the House. Never in my history of elections has the word “liar” been bandied about so frequently in Australian politics as […]

The Mal Brough 48 Hour Special: At first the menu is real, then it’s not
June 14, 2013
Look, yesterday the matter was very confusing. I had been presented with a fait accompli that there had been a menu which I said at the time I have not seen was in no position to clarify whether something was there that I hadn’t witnessed. The last thing I wanted to do was make categoric […]
