Reply #1: And the Murdoch press puts the boot in

The Daily toilet paper (the Telegraph), couldn't wait to get
stuck into Brogden yesterday:

The guy resigned, clearly is unlikely to be re-elected, they could
have just let him go quietly. But no, these scum have to dredge
up every bit of dirt they could find.

Bob Carr also pushed it for all he was worth - his wife was saying
she preferred to overlook it, had no comment to make, but he's out
there doing his best to keep it stirred up, for purely political
purposes.

It looks as if Brogden really wasn't cut out to be the leader, but
the family has a dysfunctional history, and he's to be more pitied
than anything. His political career is certainly over now, and
he should give thanks.
