BROGDEN SUICIDE BID
“On July 29,” Seven’s Peter Jean reported, “Mr Brogden committed political suicide.” Last night Brogden tried to take things one step further:
John Brogden was rushed to hospital last night after an apparent suicide attempt, one day after he resigned in disgrace as the NSW Opposition Leader.
He was found at his Pittwater electorate office in a drug-and alcohol-induced stupor shortly before 11pm, with self-inflicted stab wounds, and taken by ambulance to Royal North Shore Hospital.
His wounds weren’t serious, and Brogden is expected to recover quickly. Nice words from Bob Carr.
