Liberals caught in bed with the Exclusive Brethren

The Liberals have been caught in bed with the Exclusive Brethren but are trying to claim that they did not have sexual relations with that party, despite the stains on the blue dress.

In the last Tasmanian state election there was a rabid and misleading anti-Green advertising campaign subsequently revealed to have been authorised by members of the Exclusive Brethren, one of christianity's answers to the taliban.

It has now in turn been revealed that this campaign was run by an advertising company controlled by prominent members of the Liberal party. But it goes on.

This same company of course also ran the Liberal's campaign. When it came time to ante up for the campaign the Liberal party was invoiced for the whole lot ie including what was purportedly by individual members of the EB.

The director of the Liberals claims it was all a mistake. Apparently there should have been separate invoices to maintain the impolite legal fiction that they were separate.

Legally he may be right, just as Clinton may have been with his famous denial, but similarly it is clear that the law and reality have violently parted ways if that is the case.

The Liberals have given the EB exemptions under industrial relations, family and various other laws. So the EB are now to a considerable extent exempt from the sames laws as the rest of us.

In return the EB do some of the political dirty work that the Liberals can't be seen to be doing themselves, namely campaigns attacking the Greens using every underhanded trick in the book.

It is a corruption of the political process. The Liberal government gives legal exemptions via parliament to a cult in return for political contributions for the Liberal party. The contributions don't legally go to the Liberals, but the Tasmanian evidence shows that they are running the campaigns.
