I hope a federal ICAC catches all corrupt politicians.

If it takes down the whole parliament then so be it.

I am alone I know! but I still believe in our system.. and I still believe for the most part they are honest and there for the benefit of the country...

like any industry its not perfect and will always attract those who think they can milk a good thing..

which is what OBEID and Mcdonald did.. they lined their own pockets...and the union guy wasnt far behind...

and dont forget this wasnt a one off like a bottle of plonk.

Not really alone, cods.
All corruption should be punished.

I allowed a fair amount of leeway with my people , when it came to "foreign orders", ie. making something for themselves, or family using company materials, etc.

In 40-odd years I only had to sack one person for lying/theft.

As I said elsewhere today, it wasn't just 'a bottle of plonk'.
It was the lies associated with said bottle....

there is still a huge difference between the Grange Scandal which remains NOT a criminal offence and that of stealing $100B from the taxpayer.

You lot seem to want to see this 'Bottle' as a stand alone.

Forget about lying to the people...

Fair enough.

of course.... but he didnt lie in parliament..like some claim..I agree with you

wouldnt it be nice to be asked by an employee if he can borrow or use work equipment...maybe have that policy...would they like it if you walked into their home and helped themselves to something without permission.....

to me thats what its all about...

dont abuse or take anything for granted...

but everything has a line drawn under it..

and I can see a big difference in a bottle of plonk and $millions of dollars made due to dodgy back scratching...

I'm not sure that he didn't and can't be bothered chasing it up as we all been through all this before.

I do believe it was mentioned in parliament so I presume he gave an answer.
As he denied it for some time there is the possibility he did.
And then there is the fact it was not declared.
An untruth in itself.

I'm not defending it as an action, rather I am making the rather obvious statement that it is NOTHING compared to the theft of $100M
