Utegate will affect both sides of politics

With both sides of politics claiming that members of the other should resign, it is obvious that both the Labor and conservative sides are going to suffer casualties over Utegate.

Despite Malcolm Turnbull calling for the resignation of Kevin Rudd and Wayne Swan over Utegate, I would say that only Wayne Swan will be caught misleading parliament. He already told parliament he had no special interest in the case of John Grant applying for Ozcar funding and that he wasn't kept up to date in the proceedings.

This is clearly not true following the receipt of faxes to his home fax machine about John Grant. The only question is - did he take this interest becasue Grant is his boss' neighbour?

The e-mail the Liberals claim was sent between the Prime Minister's office and a treasury official will most likely harm someone in the Liberal Party if it is found that the email is a fraud. The Liberals refuse to produce the email they have relied upon as evidence and now claim that Rudd is using it as a distraction. The fact of the matter is, if the e-mail is fake the Liberal Party most likely created it. After Turnbull's denials this will lead to his downfall.

It's going to be an interesting week in politics.
