Put simply, Lucy now says it did not happen.

Seemingly although something untoward did occur in the Parliament House offices of a number of Liberal Party politicians, Morrison and now, Gichuhi, agree it was not undertaken by their colleagues.

Apparently, Gichuhi admitted to Morrison during a private discussion she just got it all wrong.

The latest storyline being, if indeed pressure was being applied, it was coming from sources outside of the parliament.  

Scott Morrison would now have Australians believe that even though the Liberal Party factions inside the government are “at daggers drawn”, not one Liberal politician would ever stoop so low as to bully any other member.

Borrowing an appropriate Americanism, “what a crock”.

Clearly Morrison is a fraudster and Lucy Gichuhi a pawn.

The charade both are now conducting is nothing more than a smokescreen to conceal a very serious abuse of power by members of a faction of the Liberal Party politicians.

There is a lot of chaos in Canberra at the moment regarding  this current government and the back benches to scared to make a move in case they might loose their lucrative seats and their rorts.

These people are the ones who voted to cut pensions, voted for tax cuts for big business, voted to increase the retirement age to 70, voted for cuts to health, education and social services.

They are the party of big business, big banks and big media owned and run by Rupert Murdoch.

This is the party that gave Rupert Murdoch the most despicable media owner in the world a $30 million tax payer funded gift.

This is a party whose policies are dictated to them by Gina Reinhardt and Andrew Forrest both self confessed non payers of taxes.

This is a party that wants to sell our ABC to Murdoch's News Ltd.

This is also the party that wants to privatise Medicare and Centrelink, and yes they are the party that's cutting penalty rates and destroy the basic wage.

Since in office this party who's members have squandered millions of dollars on private jet travel, polo matches, helicopter trips, New York parties, the list goes on.

This party should be confined to the annals of a very bad history.
