Victorian Liberal staffers sacked for blogging
I’m sure many of you have Andrew Landeryou’s “The Other Cheek” in your RSS readers. Those who do will have seen that over this weekend he’s been revealing a story about the Victorian Liberals that he’s calling “blog-gate“. The Sunday Age also wrote this story up today.
Two Liberal staffers, it seems, have been anonymously authoring a blog (now “disappeared”) called hewhostandsfornothing.blogspot.com which was critical of State Liberal Leader, Ted Baillieu. Their anonymity was shattered when the Liberal Party launched an investigation and found that their blog had been set up and maintained from computers at the Libs’ Victorian headquarters. The staffers responsible - Simon Morgan and John Osborn - were summarily sacked by the State Director, Julian Sheezel. There are suggestions (prinicipally from Landeryou) that as Morgan was Sheezel’s right hand man, he must have had some knowledge of the “dissident” blog.
