Q.
What is the point of 'a justice system', if it is corrupt or tolerates corrupt practices ?
Even 3,400 years ago, ....all men knew the fundamental difference between wrong and right.
And, 3,400 years ago, the difference between wrong and right,
had something to do with public truth-telling.
Didn't it ?
Leviticus 19:15
Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment: thou shalt not respect the person of the poor, nor honour the person of the mighty: but in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbour.
Deuteronomy 1:16
And I charged your judges at that time, saying, Hear the causes between your brethren, and judge righteously between every man and his brother, and the stranger that is with him.
17 Ye shall not respect persons in judgment; but ye shall hear the small as well as the great; ye shall not be afraid of the face of man; for the judgment is God's: and the cause that is too hard for you, bring it unto me, and I will hear it.
Deuteronomy 16:19
Thou shalt not wrest judgment; thou shalt not respect persons, neither take a gift: for a gift doth blind the eyes of the wise, and pervert the words of the righteous.
Isaiah 3:11
Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him: for the reward of his hands shall be given him.
Don't you love the inspiration [to goodness, and 'well doing'] which is present in the Bible ?
And, do you know/realise, that politicians are persons whom we entrust with the authority,
to be our LAW MAKERS, to our benefit !
Yes! That is inspiringly!
Unfortunately real life is nothing like that at all especially if your a politician.
Our political leaders can steal, defraud, lie and rape and the very worst that will ever happen to them is they are required to pay back the ill gained funds.
The law should apply to all. Equally. Not one law for citizens and another for politicians.
If Gladys Berejiklian was found corrupt twice why isn’t she in jail?
