More ethical posters would see that an RC into Union Corruption should present no problems to anyone other than corrupt unionists. So why would anyone complain about corruption anywhere being discovered and penalised?

And THAT is the real question.

Unite with us on our request for a federal ICAC then , if Abort was dinkum about stomping on corruption he would've tabled a bipartisan agreement by now , he certainly is looking rather foolish after we seem to be hearing more about Lib corruption of late .

I'm all for a federal ICAC. Unlike most posters on here, I don't care where the corruption is found, only that it is rooted out. Most here - including you - seem happy to ignore and protect ALP or Union corruption.

Seriously, how many times do we need to talk about the same crap?

The exact same outcomes could've been obtained via normal police investigations.

Or, if we really want to stem out corruption then setup a body at the federal level. But not just looking into unions, but into lobby groups, political groups, industry groups, etc. etc. etc.

It's not like corruption is limited to unions. Tony Abbott himself is a corrupt person - should have an RC into just him?

Oooh - poll time!

Wrong. Police don't have the same powers as a Royal Commissioner. You can choose not to speak to Police but do not have that luxury at a Royal Commission. Try that and you can wind up in jail for contempt.

Yep. Absolutely correct AP.

Doctrine of Separation of Powers.

Look it up Sir Duke Olive Oil

....which has precisely zero relevance to a discussion about the coercive powers of a RC, and the powers of a copper.

I beg your bloody pardon?

These powers are separate and distinct.

Now bugger off and stop pretending you know anything about law.

Yep....already covered Maria.

I stated last night, if they have nothing to hide, then they have nothing to fear.

Yet all we're getting from the union movement IS FEAR and TREPIDATION.

Funny that. Not Angry

She's only terrible because she is just as terrifying as that RC you dread.

Too bad. Deal with it.

yes, there have been many unionists under 'further investigation' or have been charged with corruption linked crimes.

those wanting to stop the RC might be wanting to protect ther known corrupt firends.
