Trader - you are correct - I stand corrected - he resigned in very cloudy circumstances. What I was trying to ask is the question you posed - who came down heavy on his bosses to zip the story? What strings were pulled and by whom? Why was someone so scared and worried about Julias little awu mess being exposed? How much power doea the pm have and how does the media get muzzled when uncomfortable questions get raised?
With the benefit of hindsight its no wonder someone was worried. Michael Smith has been a terrier since leaving - probably the messes worst nightmare - Michael has managed to unravel all kinds of things about Julias very interesting past.
