FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Former Liberal cabinet minister Mal Brough has disclosed that he advised James Ashby to go to the police, and pursue legal action, over allegations of sexual harassment and misuse of taxi vouchers by Peter Slipper, who has stepped aside as Speaker amid two separate investigations into the allegations, according to a report by The Australian.
Mr Brough is standing for pre-selection in Mr Slipper’s Queensland seat of Fisher for the next federal election, sparking speculation, denied by Mr Brough, that he was part of a Liberal National Party effort to leverage Mr Ashby’s allegations to suit the party.
Mr Brough told The Australian that Mr Ashby came to him for advice following a recommendation from local party official Valerie Bradford.
Mr Brough said he was initially “suspicious”, but met Mr Ashby on three occasions in March and April.
“I said to him that my strong view was that you need to make sure you are on extremely strong ground because the media, the government and Mr Slipper will tear you apart,” Mr Brough said, according to The Australian. “I said that you had better know that what you are saying is true and beyond any doubt. And, if it is, my strong advise to you is to go to the AFP with your claims of criminality and you had better get yourself legal advice regarding the civil matter.”
Mr Brough denied speaking to any opposition MPs, staffers or anyone in the LNP about his discussions with Mr Ashby, as he sought to dampen speculation that the opposition played a role in Mr Ashby’s decision to come forward.
