You're sure Labor has 'a few'? Do the names Obeid, McDonald, Jackson and Orkopoulos (convicted hild sex offender) ring any bells? And that's just NSW, without delving into their henchman (Setka et al), or links to organised crime (Graham Richardson > Ron Medich etc). The bias in your comment sums up the reason why I very rarely engage in political debate; the likelihood of an objective discussion is, at the very best, remote.
The "conservative" arm far up your backside seems plainly evident. Thankyou for your comments, I'll take them under advisement.
Corruption, bastardry and obscene self interest appear to be endemic to all levels of government in this country. Where there are concentrations of political power, there you will find large concentrations of grubby fuckwits who laugh at the people who vote for them in good faith, hoping that their MP will actually represent
them in parliament, rather than a political party that is only interested in getting power, and then hanging onto it for grim death.
Are these grubby fuckwits represented in both major political parties? sure.
Are there bigger and grubbier fuckwits in the current liberal government? absolutely.
I'm not focussing on state governments of either stripe, I'm talking about our current FEDERAL government.
My bias is a desire for a fair and compassionate society with institutions, policies, programs and infrastructure which benefit
The People of Australia, rather than give a free ride to corporations who don't give a flying fuck about the environment, a sustainable economy, let alone the future of this country. Moreover, a free press with the protections afforded to them (just as in the UK and the USA) to enable them to do their job and root out scandal and corruption wherever it occurs in government, the judiciary, and corporations. Transparency in Government, Legal and Corporate spheres is mandatory for a fair and just society.
