The Canberra Times has an intriguing story on Simon Corbell announcing to the Assembly that his Office of Regulatory Services is investigating the Canberra Liberals.

This is curious.

In the article the Liberals say they know nothing about this.

The ORS media release page has nothing on this at the time of writing.

So Simon is in special communication with ORS about it’s activities in relation to his own political enemies?

This is not a pretty place for a democratic society to be.

But is appears that Gary Humphries scorched earth strategy of self preservation can take us anywhere.


UPDATE 13/02/13 12:26: Andrew Barr has tweeted at us as to where Simon Corbell’s knowledge of the investigation came from:

johnboy, weren’t you saying something just yesterday about political reporting in the Canberra Times?

Here’s a hint: if a source is so unreliable that you have to do your own research and act checking, stop using that source. It is not a source it is a rumour mill or at best a propaganda mouthpiece.

So please, no more reporting of the rumours raised by The Canberra Times.

I don’t think they’re so far gone as to fabricate quotes in the assembly.

selective reporting on the other hand…
