Glad to be posting in what will become an important internet thread in this nation's history, the very beginning of the great revolution.
Is it time for Federal Integrity Body or should we just turn off the life support machine for integrity in the federal public sector? - Pearls and Irritations
It is not a pretty picture. Bernard Keane writing in Crikey said recently: “Everywhere you look in the Morrison government, you see sleaze and self-interest, if not outright corruption. Merely itemising the current scandals on foot is an arduous task.” Keane provided a list but it was far from...

Would love someone to dig back into the way Liberal mates won the initial tender for a Victorian casino licence. The preferred tenderer in the initial tender was an international company with vast casino running experience. That was called in and Liberal mates with no casino running experience won it second time around. Leading to the international company who were initially the preferred tenderer saying they would never tender again in this country. Wonder why?
Corruption is endemic in Government in Australia - only a very narrow view would deny its somehow only a problem for the Libs.

Yes, of course. It's only the Liberal Party who are corrupt. There is no way the other major party could possibly be corrupt in any way. Labor care about us, the people! They are truly the beacon of honesty and transparency.
Tony Burke? That taxpayer-funded $12k family trip to Uluru was perfectly fine!
Sam Dastyari accepting Chinese money? Then supporting the Chinese illegally taking control of the South China Sea? Nonsense! Nothing corrupt about that.
Daniel Andrews? Red shirts? Belt and road initiative? None of that happened, Dan is saving us all!
The Unions? There's no way they would ever engage in any kind of criminal activity.
Morris Iemma, Eddie Obeid, Ian Macdonald and everyone else from the New South Wales Labor swamp? Well there's no way any of them could possibly be corrupt. It's all a conspiracy by the evil far right wing and Murdoch!
Just remember, only the Liberals can be corrupt. Labor is incorruptible!

I'd say it slightly differently
both sides are vulnerable to the same risks of corruption because its the authority and power that attracts abuse, not party allegiance
and both sides dont want to investigate it because both sides know they aint virgins on this matter

You are putting words into my mouth here. Of course the labor party and as a matter of fact just about all parties have corruption. What i am highlighting is the frightening levels seen in the current government. And then they deny it and refuse to take responsibility
So other than allegations what have you got?

are you denying that there is any corruption at all?
Until you list what you are on about, they're innocent like everyone else.

Not corruption, but worrying when a government and fellow travellers seek to pressure/censor in this fashion. Shocking in fact. Part of the attempted destruction of the ABC. Watch 4Corners tonight folks.

Interesting conclusion Chris, you clearly missed the 13th minute of the show later tonight.

Here comes more union raids to take the heat off Robodebt, Tudge, Porter and Gladys
Boy they're getting predictable
Boy they're getting predictable
I know it's petty, but the subbing on that website drives me to distraction. Every article I read is riddled with spelling errors and poorly constructed sentences. I mean, 'pistol rings' - FMD.NSW Government Defends $6.9M Acquisition Of A 1986 Suzuki Mightboy
More to come.
Given Betoota's run by a PR firm, you'd think they'd put more effort into getting the presentation right.
so much as a $5 note being exchanged in return for access to privilege is unacceptable
there is zero doubt the the corruption is present in both parties - one cant even be bothered hiding it any more.

The libs have made corruption and stealing money from the Australian taxpayer an art form.
They in fact exist for no other purpose.
Line every one of them up shoot them, then shoot their steam s**t stained corpses into the sun.
That is about as correct as blaming Murdoch for the last election loss.
Mugs on the other side blame the unions ..
Corruption is everywhere, not just where it is politically convenient for you.
