The Truth Will Out... Later

As I suspected, Australia's newly re-opened "children overboard" inquiry will not report till after the October 9th election.

It will, however, meet and hear evidence during the election campaign, opening the door to Liberal complaints that it will "operate as a campaign tool of the Labour Party."

Labor Senator John Faulkner's response is inspired:

"If you and the Government had not gagged Mr Scrafton from giving evidence to the Senate committee, these corroborated facts would have been available to the Australian people two years ago."
