Last post by DJC -You might get the odd fanatical journalist who will devote years of their life to trying to piece it all together but it’s unlikely that the whole truth will ever be known.
If it had happened here, and at the same scale, a royal commission would be appropriate.

Last post by MickyO -I doubt there will be much come out of this other than paranoia, the stuff they know about will be buried or is already buried, it's the stuff they imagine might exist that will bring them undone.
Paranoia will lead to someone throwing somebody else under the bus, that is when it unravels.
If there is a journo that is smart enough, brave enough, or stupid enough, they will be able to create havoc.
Then there is the issue of whistleblowers, that is how the more traditional falls occur. There is always someone on the clean up team who is parnoid or crooked enough to keep a copy of something, who find themself in a no win nothing to lose scenario.
Over the years, the very best journos I worked with never really needed access to the facts, all they really needed was a good question for the right person.
It has to come out - someone somewhere will pull the trigger for the real stuff to come. Hopefully sooner rather than later.
The fact it hasn’t already is revolting - I don’t care who you are, if they’ve done something as alleged they deserve to lose it all!

Last post by Gointocarlton -Jess Wilson is an attempt from the Libs to change course and try and appeal to younger voters and female voters.
Be interested if rusted on older Lib voters buy what she is selling given she is a more moderate Liberal and has some personal views that are not aligned with normal liberal policy offerings.
That's going to be her big challenge EB.
Jess Wilson had a good first day and I think that she could drag the Liberals out of the quagmire, if given the freedom to do so. I think that she will appeal to younger voters and female voters and they've both been the Libs' Achille's heels over the last quarter of a century. It's those crusty, old, misogynistic Libs that will act as a sheet anchor, or worse, and will fight to stop the party regaining the centre ground.
