Journalist told Slipper staffer 'we will get him'

4. And the judge has thrown it out!

He has ruled that Ashby, Brough, and Lewis plotted the whole thing with the express purpose of ending Slipper's career and bringing down the government. Which anybody with half a brain could figure out. And what about those who were probably behind it - Pyne and Abbott? And as for the idiot George Brandis, pontificating on legal matters that he never appears to fully comprehend - how the hell did he ever get through law school?

What will the MSM do now? Bring the Opposition to account? I won't be holding my breath. I don't think much of Slipper as a person, but he was the best Speaker I've ever seen, and Anna Burke, while probably much nicer, isn't in the same league. That's a shame.
