It’s difficult for those who imagine they were born to rule to see anything they do as corrupt.
On the other hand to claim Labor is somehow innocent is to ignore a long history of corruption.  Both sides are tainted.

I will make one more comment in this absolutely trash thread....I love this country   ITS MY COUNTRY   dont like it theres the door   I would never stop you leaving..... those who do nothing but complain  have never ever lived outside your own little baron existence..  We have it all here   the only thing we dont have is  a lets Pull together ethic.....too many are blindsided by a belief  everything THEY do is wrong or corrupt   everything WE do is perfect in every way..

like you say  ayn  both sides are equal....they are only men after all human.... I believe in counting my blessings   obviously some only live in a negative world...

I had to laugh when Rudd got highlighted on here for ear wax and nose gymnastics being unhealthy.  I wonder who cleaned this up?

Only men? Are you implying we should turn a blind eye to corruption as it’s ‘human nature’?
Did I say anything like ‘everything THEY do is wrong and corrupt? Did I say I was never a member of both parties?
As to party membership I’ve belonged to a number beggining some decades ago as a founding member of the Progressive Reform Party formed by Dr Bertram Wainer,
to a number of others since. Some more corrupt than imaginable, some less, some simply muddled and unable to choose a single direction without internal bitching.
If you imagine I’ve never lived outside my ‘own little baron existence’ you’re gravely mistaken.  However, I can’t be bothered listing my involvments over the decades.
And by the way, why is it some members/moderators of this place appear to have have access to software giving them the power to prevent responses to their posts? ,

Politicians do give me great joy from time to time.

Far from frequently enough though.

Every time one dies, I rejoice and the world is a better place for their passing.

Everything about politics makes it irresistible for nearly every politician to dive into the cookie jar now and again to varying degrees and every team has guilty members.

I love an unburnt country,
A land of beer and blush,
And cashflow for the pollies,
That all goes into slush...
And donors who are agents,
Of every nation rough,
They only use brown paper,
The bags are not too rough...
To handle like the people,
Passed quickly out of hand,
And then forgotten quickly,
They won't together band...

Oh, I love an unburnt country,
The politicians cry,
As long as there's expenses
To really get us by...
Our salaries all sinking,
Into some tax-free fold,
We need that extra income,
To use to get a hold
On tax-free travel so we
Can grab a flat and hold
For future profit venture
To help when we get old,
Our superannuation system (ye gods)
Would leave us in the cold!

We are but public servants,
Cry the poor beggars in rags,
And that is why we really must
Have lots of paper bags....
