Liberal Party poll slump June 28, 2009,
Despite chances to gain traction, the Liberals have failed to capture public support - and have become embroiled in the disastrous use of documents, which turned out to be forgeries, in an attempt to discredit the Government.
The source of the dodgy documents remains a mystery and a police inquiry is under way. The faked documents, about supposed illegal ALP fundraising involving the Church of Scientology, were delivered to the Liberals anonymously, rather than from a Labor source as originally claimed by the Opposition.
