Flegg ramps up paper attack NEWMAN government MP Bruce Flegg has attacked Brisbane's The Courier-Mail newspaper over its reporting of his dealings with his then-lobbyist son, Jonathon, before his resignation late last year. The former public housing minister, and onetime state Liberal leader, launched an attack in parliament on Tuesday, and then again yesterday in an interview on ABC radio, in which he accused the newspaper of waging a personal campaign against him and "doctoring" an email in a report showing his son had proposed a candidate for a top public service job.
