Anti-corruption????

Tagged:  

We know an election is coming when Brumby announces he will set up an anti-corruption committee (mind you not for 18 months) but he still won't let Peta Duke appear before the Upper House committee investigating the Windsor Hotel scandal.
What will the committee do now - have her arrested for contempt of Parliament?
