fair enough.. BUT WHO BROUGHT IN ICAC OR THE ROYALS>>????

sorry mate but not LABOR>

Just laughing because Tony was so smug thinking he was only going to catch little labor fishies but ended up catching more lib fishies.

I know it's not over yet, we'll tally up on the last day. I just hope it teaches them a lesson but I doubt it, they'll just cover their tracks better from now on.

I think you're suffering from the same disease as Sinodinos and others - selective amnesia. There's been loads of condemnation from across the political spectrum denouncing corrupt behaviour in general without regard for political affiliation. You won't find many left-leaning posters defending Obeid.

It is good that ICAC exists to kick over the political rocks to see what hides beneath. Like most posters, I want political corruption brought forth and punished without regard to political affiliation.

We cannot, however, look at the outcome of the latest ICAC hearings without some sense of irony. This is why Abbott's ill-judged tweet gets reposted a bit.

$5000 seems to be a recurring theme within the LNP.

really perhaps you can post some up.. as you seem to have such a good memory you wont have a bit of trouble finding them will you?

I DIDNT SAY DEFEND>>. read the content..

I SAID SICKENED BY HIS DISHONESTY...

and no I didnt see any of that....but would like to read what I missed..

Abbott I am sure would be up front and say well so be it.. if they are crooked weed them out dont care who they are..its sad to think this goes on...

but no one claimed GILLARD OR RUDD knew about what went on in NSW Labor..

so I assume no one expects Abbott to be aware of what goes on in NSW LIBS.

when will questions be asked about the BIGGEST DONATION IN AUST HISTORY

WOTIF?
