Fitzgibbon resigns as Defence Minister - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

Fitzgibbon defenceless against 'Judas' staff - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

There have been a couple of breaches of the code of conduct, but also rumours that his own department conspired against him.

As far as I can tell, there's no indication of actual wrongdoing or corruption so the abrupt exit is somewhat unexpected.

I can't help but think the public is not getting the full story here, and I think that is a worry. On the other hand, I suppose he might just want to make sure the government doesn't run the risk of looking 'dirty'.

Well, i don't know much about looking 'dirty'...
But the whole thing doesn't smell very good.
Even if his own department conspired against him, they probably had reason to do so.
