Utegate: the smoking gun which backfired? 08:15am on 23 Jun 2009 More than meets the eye.
Our Greens leader (another Mr Brown) has just complained this is disrupting negotiations over the carbon credits bill which the PM needs to get through this week before Parliament rises.
I would suit the Libs fine for this to be delayed until Copenhagen in December - they must avoid an election on this issue, and a double dissolution election can be forced provided the bill is knocked back in the Senate twice, with a 3 month break between. The 3 month period is the key.
So a ute driven filibuster in effect...
The side issue is the Defense Minister WAS forced to resign a few weeks ago for misleading Parliament. Makes it harder to get out of if the Treasurer was pinged for doing the same thing.
I wonder who concocted the fake email - could become a political classic.
