Ministers to front Cole inquiry

Foreign Minister Downer and Trade Minister (and, though few have bothered to mention, leader of the Nationals!) Mark Vaile are to appear before the Cole inquiry to face questions and cross-examination.

Are we going to be rubbing our hands together in glee as the dirty deeds finally all come out, or will we be holding our heads in our hands wondering where it all went wrong?

I guess it depends on how well Downer and Vaile spin their ways out of this one...
