Now ICAC itself is to be investigated: ostensibly for taking so long to present their report. But I suspect there are people who don't believe its findings are doing some string-pulling.

The shock and horror that Saint Gladys - a Liberal, for heaven's sake! - was found to be corrupt was laughable. People are in denial.

Alan Jones, whom I admire and agree with on most things, declared straight out on ADH TV that 'their girl' was not corrupt. He added a night to his schedule just to let us know that.

Bringing down the corrupt and crooked is a good idea until one of your own gets nabbed, apparently. It pays to think the worst of all politicians, and just vote for the least bad of the buggers. You won't choke with indignation when any of them are taken down.

And to what end?
Foxy,
The main objective for the accuser has been achieved. A political adversary & her party have been damaged.
The next one will be a Labor one & so the game continues !
Lawyers make money & media gets another week's wage. Job done !

Paul Collits begins his article 'Libs scramble to downplay Gladys corruption finding' with the words: 'And, true to form, the clueless NSW Liberal Party has circled the wagons in praise of her leadership – calling ICAC’s Operation Keppel a “soap opera”.'

He opines that their "tricky attempts" to downplay Berejiklian’s behaviour serves to reinforce their recent loss of power. He also says the finding is good news, and it's a pity that she can't be prosecuted. He echoes what many of us know: that politicians have lost their sense of right and wrong.

And that applies to all brands.

The woman herself has just uttered the usual BS about what an honour and a privilege it had been to "serve".

Hopefully the findings against this "Leftist robot" will put the wind up the ones still in the game; and a way to prosecute will be found: because, as sure as eggs, there will be more like Gladys still lurking in places they have no right to be. As Collits points out - those for whom ICAC is a problem, should know that a much worse problem is "endemic political corruption".

Maybe she meant self-serve. Self is all politicians seem to be interested in these days.
