Whether it was Mr Abbott’s unlawful acts committed in the “Australians for Honest Politics Trust” stitch up of Hanson and Ettridge; Justice Cole not even asking Mr Truss to appear in the AWB “Wheat for Oil” Inquiry, despite witnesses saying he knew about it; the AFP declining to investigate the Mal Brough Ashbygate conspiracy; or the Queensland Police with the “maintain sexual relationship with a minor” charge, to wit, a 15 year old boy, by Ashby; or the “Can we throw together an official event” for Police Minister Jack Dempsey, so he could watch his son at a football carnival ohttp://www.independentaustralia.net/Wordpress/wp-admin/post-new.phpn the public purse, to name just a few.
But yesterday’s (10/9/2013) judgement by Magistrate Maria Doogan in a Canberra court is even more outrageous. Tony Abbott’s Chief of Staff, Peta Credlin, who pleaded guilty to drink driving, got off scot free — no suspension, no fine, no conviction.
What happened was, a letter was produced from new Attorney General George Brandis, which seems to have had the same effect as a “Get out of jail free” card in the game of monopoly. Obviously, the Magistrate was intimidated by the letter from the senior legal officer in the land.
