Coalition backs Brough amid Slipper fallout

Mr Billson says there is no suggestion in the court's decision that any senior Coalition figure was involved in the case. "The Government's trying to, in this shrill sort of hysterical way, trying to make it out to be some enormous conspiracy to change a government," he said.

Mr Hockey has accused the Government of "hyperventilating" over the story, declaring: "It's not some great LNP conspiracy."

So, what I'm hearing is that the Australian Government is excessively emotional and has a high-pitched voice.

Counting down now to when the Opposition spokesmen will say that this time of the month has been a bad one for the Government, that the Government's response to Coalition measures is frigid, and that the Government is cute when it's mad.

We've already had the one where no doesn't mean no when it comes from the Government.
