PS Where's Shallow Minister on this.

Has he been away minding the PM in China and so busy putting out spot-fires since his return that he can't find time to put pen to blithely defending his glorious leader?

C'mon Shal, strut your stuff. It'll be a larf.

As a close follower of the goings on at the NSW ICAC, I can report that dear old Barry was set up for a fall by the ultra conservatives (dries) within the NSW Liberal Party. O'Farrell's first "sin" was his failure to disclose the $3k bottle of plonk from his good "mate" Nick (the creep) Di Girolamo. Having Di Girolamo as a friend, is like admitting the Small Pox Virus is your best mate. The plonk was ultimately paid for by the NSW tax payers through the AWH rip-off. Nick, being the civic minded citizen he is, casually mentions the "gift" to the ICAC, and true to form, like a dog with a bone, the ICAC calls dear old Barry in for a please explain. No problem for Barry, like so many before him, Barry will simply trot out the "Alzheimer's" excuse of I don't remember and at the end of the day it will be one's word against anothers, end of story, so thought Barry. Barry must have been very pleased with himself on Tuesday night, having just seen off the ICAC with a load of "can't remembers", well so he thought. Poor old Bazz still didn't realise he had been set up, it was all a ticking time bomb. At 9.17am Wednesday, the bomb went off. Nick (the creep) Di Girolamo, "suddenly" overnight had found a lovely hand written note from his nearest and dearest mate, Barry, thanking him for that yummy bottle of plonk, back in 2011. Naturally, being the civic minded citizen he is Nick had the note rushed straight down to the ICAC, and its goodnight Barry! And in march the Liberal "Dries" best boy the one and only, Mike Baired, another religious nutter!

PAuL/QuOTE..<<..Mike Baired, another religious nutter>..

ALL RELIGIOSITY ISN'T JUST MAD NUTTERS Muttering
occasionally its only neutering..opposition OR WATERING YOUR SUPPORT BASE.

Paul,

Thanks for that...very clearly elucidated.

While on the subject of religious nutters.

Abbott, who only a month ago was doing a Peter and denying he had ever met Nick Di Girolamo, but now The Mad Monk is not so sure, maybe he has, but just like Barry, "Alzheimer's" is catching, Tony can't remember. For all we know, it may come to light that the Mad Monk and Di Girolamo spent a month together just last Christmas holidaying in Tahiti, but busy as he is, Tony might not remember,

Hi there LUCIFERASE...

Ok, I guess you're quite right ? Any activity that's prohibited, and that prohibition is either ignored or knowingly violated is corruption. I suppose in my rapidly advancing dotage, what I meant to say, there's corruption and there 'IS' systemic corruption, of a kind, that's been taken in ICAC evidence during the preceding month or so ? I was simply alluding to the degree or magnitude of that alleged subornation or incidence of criminality, that's all.

I note you're not particularly enamoured with the Prime Minster's overt support of Mr O'Farrell ? I don't share your view nor your opinion apropos either the PM's support, or the imputation you've placed on him, because of that support.

Obviously, Mr O'Farrell was the Liberal Premier, the PM is of course leader of the federal LNP, therefore the support given, would be perfectly natural and appropriate under the circumstances.

In answer to you question, I was a detective sergeant, serving over 32 years until my retirement.
