"Anyone who deals with Mr Brian Burke is morally and politically compromised" said Peter Costello on Thursday.
Really Mr Treasurer.
Now we learn Senator Ian Campbell met with Burke on 8 June last year to discuss the redevelopment of racecourses down by the Swan River.
Oh, and it turns out ex-Minister Geoff Prosser paid for Burke's lobbying services as well.
What is going on?
As I said over the last couple of days, I made a mistake by meeting with Burke and I leave people to make their judgement on that decision.
But I cannot stand accused of the rampant hypocrisy displayed by the conservatives. By Peter Costello's own words, Ian Campbell is politically compromised.
Should Campbell resign, judged by Costello's standards? Or maybe it doesn't matter because he's a Lib.
Should the conservatives examine their own belly button fluff before indulging in muck raking?
As I said yesterday, "the public are always keen to examine the mud thrower, as much as on whom it lands".
