Martyn Brown: Booting Puglaas and Philpott out of the Liberal caucus is batshit crazy
I have seen a number of elected members kicked out of caucus in my time. Usually for acts of wrongdoing.
But never have I witnessed someone turfed from their own party for doing the right thing and for refusing to do something patently wrong.
This might be a first in the Commonwealth: two MPs being ejected from a governing party caucus for refusing to do or support activities that might even turn out to be criminal in their inappropriate application and/or means of execution.
