If anyone had any doubt that this Royal Commission is nothing but a political witch-hunt, then that doubt would have been blown away by this.

The linked article makes all the relevant points, and you can bet your last rupee that if Abbott gets away with this, there will be naked revenge attacks on LNP Cabinet documents.

Politics is a dirty game but there are/were a few Rules which both sides abided by.  Abbott just trashed one of the most important ones, and it will take a moral backbone probably beyond the ALP not to hit back at the first available opportunity.

And we will all suffer for it.
