■ Many legal threats appear in a form so strange that one is entitled to think them a practical joke. Certainly that must have been former Liberal secretariat staffer John Osborn's reaction when he received a legal threat regarding his supposed breach of confidence for commenting on his departure from his employment. It was of course his former boss Julian "J-Rat" Sheezel and Leader Red Ted Baillieu who breached their confidentiality deed in the first place by issuing written statements and holding press conferences on the issue. It really is a clown show in there at the moment.
■ Two of Ted's Men, Michael Kapel and Simon Troeth have failed to deny their personal involvement in leaking Liberal party staff emails to Australia's most left-wing daily newspaper, The Age.
■ Tony Nutt is resisting efforts to complete his investigation early, insisting that good things (like a complete whitewash of Ted' involvement) take time and everyone can wait til June 5.
Game on.
