Pyne and Roy guaranteed Ashby a job and legal expenses if he went after Slipper for sexual harassment. Then he met Brough who provided guidance along the same lines and asked him to gather evidence of Slipper rorting parliamentary expenses which he did and which duly wound up in the hands of the press. Then he met with former Lib VP (QC Doug Russell or something) who told him that his SH claim was valid but there would be no job or legal expenses. He can't afford to go after Slipper whose legal expenses have been guaranteed by both Libs and ALP. Effectively, thanks for doing our dirty work for us and * you. That's why he's decided to speak. Has comprehensive notes.
Only caught the last 20 or so minutes and this is a very rough summary so don't take me to task. i wasn't taking notes. Liz interviewed Brough who refused to answer any questions in a meaningful fashion. Pyne and Roy declined to be interviewed.
