Right now, @SenatorCash making statement to Senate to explain why her staff have contradicted her, about police leak scandal, in their evidence to court.
For 3 days, media has reported evidence of Cash’s former staff in court. Yet she still claims she is unaware of that evidence and can’t comment. Wilful blindness won’t save this disgraced, desperate Minister.
In answer to a question from @SenatorDoug, Cash won’t comment on whether she was the ultimate source of the police raid leak. Getting interesting.
Cash now won’t answer questions from @KKeneally about whether then PM Turnbull’s office asked her staff to leak the impending police raid to the media. How high up does this go?
And now Cash refuses to answer my question whether she directed staff to delete text messages about leaking the raids. Yesterday, her ex-staffer admitted in court that he had done so.
Cash throws former staff under the bus. Says she didn’t direct them to damage Bill Shorten’s reputation. This week, they told court they considered that was part of their job. All their fault, apparently.
Cash really distancing herself from former staff. Says all her statements based on “advice given to her at the time”. I guess that means she blames them for this rolling mess.
Cash now explicitly says all advice she’s relied on came from her former senior media advisor. Completely hangs him out to dry.
