  Surprise, surprise. No-one really expected any prosecution to come from this disgrace to democracy. In fact it once again raises some serious questions for the Governemnt to answer over a waste of police time and what was an outrage to our democratic system.
  
  Look at some of what the DPP said:
  The Information handled was not secret. It did not relate to national security, military or policing matters and that it was not highly confidential.
  
  He said that some of the information was of "legitimate matters of public interest" This latter is quite an amazing thing to have been said by the DPP and I wonder if there is a message there.
  
  Damian was simply doing the job of an Opposition MP, in fact he did nothing Brown did not do when he was in opposition. All Damian did was embarrass the Government, a perfectly legitimate thing to do and something required of him by our unwritten constitution.
  
  Damian pointed out that it was the first time an Opposition politician had been arrested since the birth of democracy in this country.
  
  Heads must roll over what happened to him.
