Government MP Mal Brough quits politics

Embattled Liberal MP Mal Brough is quitting politics, confirming in a statement he will not contest the federal election.

Mr Brough stepped down from his role as special minister of state in December last year under pressure over his involvement in the James Ashby/Peter Slipper affair.

    Cabinet reshuffle: Malcolm Turnbull announces new frontbench as Mal Brough resigns

    Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has dramatically reshaped his frontbench in a reshuffle that promotes his own supporters and those who backed Tony Abbott, puts his government on an election footing, and promotes three new faces to cabinet, including another woman.

    Another five new junior ministers and five assistant ministers were also appointed and will have no more than six months to get across their briefs before an election.

    The changes comes after a difficult fortnight in Parliament which saw the Turnbull government under pressure over tax reform and the retirements of senior minister Andrew Robb and Nationals leader and deputy prime minister Warren Truss.

    Mr Turnbull was forced to reshape his front bench after losing five ministers since taking charge in September. 

    In addition to Mr Truss and Mr Robb, former cities minister Jamie Briggs was sacked in December over an incident in a bar in Hong Kong, former human services minister Stuart Robert was sacked last week over a breach of ministerial standards and former special minister of state Mal Brough, who resigned earlier on Saturday.

    What I don't understand is why the Feds took so long to look into Brough's access to The Speaker's diary? When the whole Slipper affair blew up, what 4 years ago, it was obvious someone had breached the law to get access to his official diary.

    that's right EarlH,  it seems peoples rights aren't the driving force when it comes to justice in this country.  Slippers case should have been thrown out of the courts,  & handled in the same manner as other politicians who dipped into the petty cash tin.

     

    no,  the rabbot has his vengeful side,  & spite is his tongue of choice.

     

    I just wonder how James Ashby hasn't had any charges referred against him ?

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons are back at the MCG for the second week in a row. They face the Suns off a 15 day break without their prized recruit and former Demon champion Christian Petracca. This will be a massive test for the Demons who will be facing a genuine Premiership contender. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Carlton

      The text messages started flooding in shortly after quarter time. One read: “Is Melbourne even at the ground?” Moments later, as Carlton’s Elijah Hollands kicked the first goal of the second term, the Blues held a commanding 43-point lead. By then, the Demons’ only score was a behind kicked by Brody Mihocek nearly five minutes into the game. Ironically, Mihocek would also register the last minor score of the day after the game took a dramatic turnaround.
