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 ?

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
