I'm pretty sure most of the righties have given it a miss long ago. It seems they don't want to know just how many Liberal party MPs (plus a few others from elsewhere within the Coalition) have been implicated in dubious misconduct with donations and slush funds.

Three months until ICAC hands down its findings. It's not going to be good news, no wonder Hartcher is bailing.

Unlikely you will hear much from them on corruption matters, very vocal when RC announced, crickets since ICAC came along, imagine what it's going to be like when ICAC in some capacity goes national encompassing federal, don't know about you but boy o boy am i licking my lips in anticipation.

I hope they do and I'll vote for the first politician to suggest it, regardless of party. We have to much corruption in politics, on all sides, and it needs to be stamped out

Ian Macdonald to face charges

good to see someone facing the music. They need to set an example of them all to make others think twice before partaking of the 'easy money'

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-11-20/ian-macdonald-to-be-prosecuted-over-mine-l...

I'll say it again, We need a federal ICAC

maybe they can then uncover the real reason the libs were opposed to the mining tax

And uncover the real reason for other asinine Liberal party policies, such as this selection:
* "Direct Action" pork barrelling
* "Coal first" madness when most other countries are ending reliance on coal-fired power
* Gutting the NBN for a far inferior model
* Exempting fossil fuel subsides from budget cuts
* Exempting the health care rebate from budget cuts despite its growing much faster than inflation
* Cutting the ABC's and SBS's budgets then pretending it's not a cut

Sort of, but the corruption that happens with the other team is always worse than that done by your own. If need be, quote some other completely unrelated event and compare it to that. If all else fails, deny that the offender on your team was ever actually a team player at all.

Or the most common strategy of the Liberal fanbois ... ignore it completely.
