	Was John Howard's Right Faction behind NSW Liberal leader John Brogden's demise?
		Brogden has been described Hawke as the "clown" inside the big ideological tent that was the Liberal Party.
		The whispering campaign to suggest to anyone who would listen that Brogden not only had wandering hands, but to also imply that a long-time exemplar of small-l liberalism was a racist, coincided with a fraying of the relations between state and federal Liberals.
		Yesterday morning, as Brogden looked around for vital support to stay in his job, he turned on the radio to hear John Howard effectively hanging him out to dry, refusing to endorse his continued tenure as Opposition leader.

	Brogden's plight sparks deep reflection, debate - National - theage.com.au
		JOHN Brogden's cry for help from his electoral office in the northern Sydney beach suburb of Mona Vale on Tuesday night was a personal tragedy that exposed a brutality peculiar to NSW politics and shocked the state.
		It also shattered the lives of his wife, Lucy, their son and their families — Mrs Brogden's grief magnified by the knowledge, as she tended his wounds, that her husband's apparent suicide attempt was a victory of punitive justice over restorative justice.
		Mr Baxter said the fresh allegations were of "legitimate public interest" given that Mr Brogden had indicated he would stay on in Parliament, and that he had suggested the incidents that prompted his resignation had been isolated.

		John Brogden has never had a career outside of politics, so if his political career is over he probably considers his life to be over.

	The Daily Telegraph, John Brogden and hyena journalism - On Line Opinion - 14/9/2005
		Brogden and the former staff member had already denied having an affair, and Brogden's father in law denied to Media Watch that he had told Brogden to get rid of the staffer or that he had talked to the Telegraph.
		One of the two incidents of Brogden's behaviour towards women on his fateful Friday night apparently caused no offence to the person concerned, but was still deemed worth publishing.
		The difference between its approaches to the Brogden and Abbott revelations might be explained by there being no sexual sleaze element in the latter, that they found Abbott's politics more congenial, or perhaps they were showing the hyena's caution towards someone still in power.
