To put this Rorting, in some sort of context, let me say -
1) I would be "somewhat" surprised, if the vast majority of Politicians, from all party's, have not dipped their snouts into the Expenses Rorting trough &/or other Rorts, on a number of occasions.
2) Whilst the number of Coalition members mentioned, is more than their Labor counterparts at the moment, I'm sure that over time, it has &/or will, balance out.
3) Whilst the emphasis at the moment, is on those with BIG snouts, I would also call into question those in power previously (both Labor & Liberal), for why there was a proper system & checks in place & why they did not ensure that all Politicians were ONLY GETTING WHAT WAS FAIR & REASONABLE in expenses & why there has been insufficient checks on other Rorting, such as that in NSW Labor!
4) I would also call into question, WHY THE "RESPONSIBLE" PUBLIC SERVICE OFFICIALS DID NOT PICK UP ALL OF THIS CRAP & ENSURE IT WAS OFFICIALLY REPORTED!!!
5) I have little confidence, that either or both, the Liberals &/or Labor will pursue these issues, WITH SUFFICIENT VIGOR, UNLESS THEY GET REPEATED & ALMIGHTY SHOVES, FROM THE PUBLIC.
So, give it to them!!!
