How pathetic is The NSW State Labor Party. The very party that stabbed Jodi McKay in the back in 2011 in her seat of Newcastle, complements of that corrupt senior Labor figure Joe Tripodi, is now trying to pressure her into running for them in the seat of Strathfield. Jodi lives in the inner west at Ashfield and would be an excellent member of Parliament, but not for the Labor Party, how could she sit in the same room with people who were buddies of Tripodi, and make no mistake, they may not admit it now, but both Obeid and Tripodi had plenty of Labor mates when they were running the show in NSW.

Not all criminal action by polititions ends up before the the ICAC. In fact some actions could be justified under the guise that they are perfectly legal. The latest from THE CORRUPTION PARTY (formally The Liberal Party) in NSW is to try and wrestle The Lord Mayor of Sydney job away from the progressive Clover Moore, and through some undemocratic maneuvering with the Shooter Party give it to one of their own. How do they intend to do this, by rigging the ballot box of course. Aided and abetted by these Shooters and Hooters in the parliament they intend giving business owners in the city two votes each, to residents one vote, how undemocratic is that! Clover is the best Lord Mayor Sydney has had in living memory and to replace her with a Liberal Party flunky by rigging the vote, would be an injustice in the extreme. The corrupt Barry O'Farrell introduced the 'Get Clove Law', which forced her out of State Parliament now they are trying to dishonestly steal the Lord Mayors job from her as well.

Former Liberal Party federal member Peter Slipper and as the thread title indicates Labor Governments Speaker, got a formal conviction, along with an order he perform 300 hours community service and enter a two-year good-behaviour order, this also ends Slipper's plans to return to legal practice after losing his seat in federal parliament last year.
In my opinion not undeserved.

This goes along with Freya Newman (who I understand is of the green persuasion) being convicted of criminal hacking in order to muck rake. This also ends her career in IT. In my opinion not undeserved.

It is a pity that the others of the CORRUPTION PARTY such as Brown eye Bob, Adam Bent, Contagious Christine, Syph Sarah, Septic Scott, Loose Lee, Wanton Whish Wilson, and Poxy Parker don't face court for their crimes.

Shadow, I can't help but laugh at your pathetic attempts to link The Greens with crime and corruption. How is this <<Freya Newman (who I understand is of the green persuasion) being convicted of criminal hacking>> Unless Freya Newman is suffering from sea sickness or has grass stains on her then there is no connection between her and anything Green!

WHEN PETER SLIPPER WAS COMMITTING HIS CRIMES HE WAS A FULLY PAID UP MEMBER OF THE LIBERAL PARTY.

It is unfortunate that you have not posted one word condemning Liberal Party corruption, I take it you actually agree with corruption as long as it is in the Liberal Party. I make it quite clear if corruption had been uncovered in The Greens to the extent it is systemic in both The Labor and Liberal Parties, without hesitation I would resign from the party immediately. I actually have some moral fiber, unlike some.

Paul, I can't help but laugh at your pathetic attempts to distance the Greens from crime and corruption.

WHEN PETER SLIPPER WAS COMMITTING HIS CRIMES THE LIBERALS WERE BOOTING HIM OUT OF THE PARTY, AND LABOR AND THE GREENS WELCOMING HIM WITH OPEN ARMS.

It is unfortunate that you have not posted one word condemning Greens corruption, I take it you actually agree with corruption as long as it is in the Greens Party. If you had any moral fibre you would immediately resign from the Greens.

While the greens would seem to be naturally immune from business donations, being the economic equivalent of ebola, they had their chance to demonstrate their lofty ideals in two recent incidents, firstly with the donation from WOTIF then from the deeply corrupt CFMEU.

Did they take the moral high ground and follow their own guidelines. No, they took the money (far more than the Libs) and in doing so became corrupt.

So Paul, this is why I don't let you get away with your hypocrisy.
