I wonder why labor scum never had the RC while they were in power?
Because nobody asked for it.
And Labor aren't scum. They pushed for this RC. The REAL scum here are the Liberals. They denied it, over and over again, over 20 times over more than two years. They only called it to save themselves embarrassment when the Nationals were pushing for it, and they were still scummy enough to ask the banks to provide the Terms of Reference.
What's really going to twist your balls later on is finding out just how damaging this is to your Liberal government. All the scandals being uncovered after they said nothing would be found, waste of time, etc.
It's going to put a very strong mood for change in the electorate that cannot be stopped. We need a government that will get tough on corporate crime, not aid it by being too soft as Liberal governments always are. No compelling case can be made to return a government led by a former banker with a dubious past. Oh, and who's still opposed to a Federal anti-corruption commission? Those same Liberals who thought a Royal Commission into the banks would be a waste of time.
