What has blown up in the Liberals faces? - The graphic content of Peter Slippers Text Messages now fully aired in public?.... - Good luck with that.

So, all those stories of him having his snout in the trough have been blown out of the water as well?

I dont care which party they belong to - get rid of the leeches

Come on you two at least attempt to approach it from an objective point of view.

The judge was scathing in his description of this clearly being a political attack.

No one denys Slipper is trash, I've said on here before the ALP own the bloke now for sliding up along side the cretin so they could knife Wilkie.

You'd have to get rid of them all. Well...a large majority.

There is probably another chapter to come on this one, although the politicians may lose interest in it.

Mal Brough and James Ashby may have lost their court case, but they've achieved their aim: Peter Slipper has been discredited and the Coalition is likely to win back his seat, writes Ben Eltham

MAL Brough faces a federal police investigation into allegations he encouraged former speaker Peter Slipper's staff to leak sensitive diaries in a "political conspiracy" to bring down the government.

The Gillard government has authorised a Queensland Labor MP, Graham Perrett, to refer the matter to Australian Federal Police Commissioner Tony Negus, claiming the Liberals may also have breached laws prohibiting the harming of a public official, an offence that carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison, or acted as an accessory to the conspiracy.

Labor accuses Mr Brough, a former Liberal minister, of "procuring" the Slipper diaries in breach of sections of the Crimes Act prohibiting unauthorised access to restricted data, an offence carrying a maximum two-year sentence.

Brough is a Queenslander so we should cut him a bit of slack I guess

FORMER Speaker Peter Slipper could face the possibility of a jail sentence if found guilty of offences after being summonsed to appear in court over allegations he rorted his Cabcharge entitlements.

After an investigation lasting nearly nine months, the Australian Federal Police said it had served Mr Slipper with a summons "in relation to three offences of Dishonestly Causing a Risk of a Loss to the Commonwealth".

The alleged offences would breach the Commonwealth Criminal Code, if proven, and carry a maximum penalty of five years imprisonment.

The legal setback for Mr Slipper comes just a few weeks after the former Speaker had a major victory in the Federal Court when allegations of sexual harassment were thrown out.

Those allegations were brought by a former adviser, James Ashby, who also alleged that he witnessed Mr Slipper signing blank Cabcharge dockets during several visits to Sydney in early 2012.

The AFP, after an initial investigation, referred matters to the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions.

In a statement, the DPP said it could "confirm that the AFP have sworn an information and summons which alleges three offences against section 135.1(5) of the Criminal Code (Cth) in relation to allegations concerning the use of Cabcharges by Mr Slipper".

The DPP said it would be "inappropriate to comment further" as the matter was before the Canberra Magistrates Court.

The former Speaker has been forced to repay more than $20,000 during the past decade in relation to family travel and other entitlement perks.
