And Shadow, did you run off to the police with your evidence like the good law abiding citizen you are? I think not.
Seems you are like 'The Queen of Hearts' you have the guilty verdict, you tar all and sundry on the Labor side, including Shorten, with that verdict. Now you want the court case to justify the verdict. Interesting.

SM,

Then of course you would also be the first to look into
all the rorts of your party's MP's and the donations that
the party recieves et cetera, and the Mr Abbott's "slush
funds?" Mr Brandis's private library collection, and the
list goes on. I wonder what sort of things would be
found with rorting and corruption by the comapny running
Manus Island and other detention centres - should we also
go there?

Actually Paul,

I did contact the police, but as the police officer said, I only had the word of the vendor, and he was not prepared for risk of being blacklisted from all other union controlled sites, or having his vending machines trashed, there was no case. The rate that the union charged for access to the site was 15c per can of drink or chips etc from the vending machine, and $250/week from the portable cafe.

This is a protection racket run by a union that operates more like the Mafia. This Royal commission is long overdue, but as Labor profits from the proceeds of these crimes they are not going to touch the unions.

That is funnier that those Irish jokes. SM would never stoop to calling for any kind of 'investigation' into the conservative side of politics, they are all angles.

Foxy,

I have no problem investigating any rort, however, before I support it I would need more than a bunch of left whingers wanting to embark on a fishing expedition.

Where everything is open and documented it is difficult to abuse the system without getting caught as labor and liberal MPs have found out.
The following is declared, documented and open for investigation:

Party donations have to be declared and are published.
MP expenses, (reviewed by the dept of finance) and are open for inspection.
Government expenses, such as the Manus Island contract (set up by Labor) are documented and all public costings are reviewed in detail every 6 months by the senate estimates committee, and I bet that every labor and green MP and lawyer is going through it with a fine tooth comb.

If either of you can point out to any malfeasance that has not already been picked up and dealt with, or anything that a commission could unearth that is not already available then go for it.

SM,

So you see any investigation into rorts of your party's
MPs as "Left-Whingers" out on a fishing expedition,
whereas the "Right-Whingers," investigations are not
fishing expeditions.

Sounds like your usual fair and objective assessment.
