Your still ducking my question, Are you yourself in Politic's ?

AB, I would go along with your proposal that a more thorough investigation of politicians is certainly called for in NSW, and in Australia generally. Although Obeid, Macdonald and Tripodi were the major political players in the Labor corruption scandal, there were many others within and without of the ALP who were "touched" by the Obeid tentacles, some of which still sit happily in parliament. Much the same can be said for the corruption within the Liberal Party, I suspect the ICAC only scratched the surface.
As for ALL politicians being corrupt, generally I think not, but the line between doing your best and acting corruptly is somewhat blurred at times. A Liberal politician that takes developer donations and then approves developments from that benefactor is obviously corrupt, if having failed to disclose that relationship. That is clear cut, but the politician who gets a school "scholarship" for his child without seemingly giving anything in return is he or she corrupt? Maybe not.

Shadow, <<only did one semester of commercial law>> A little knowledge can be a dangerous thing.

AB,

No I am not in politics, and secondly I didn't want to be rude.

Vetting people firstly is a privacy issue, and secondly, can only pick up what is on the record. If there are no convictions, even crooks like Obeid can slip through.

Shadow, what I understand is you are doing your best on this thread to hide the LIBERAL PARTY cupboard full of corrupt skeletons, without success!

I once walked past a police station, does that make me as "qualified" as you on the law. I think so.

AB,

To continue, much can be said about the corruption in the Greens taking bribes and dirty money, and their bigotry. No one is untouched.

SM evidence please, otherwise just a perverted wild accusation without substance, on your part! Clean out that corrupt Liberal cupboard first, before trying to throw mud at The Greens for things your party are guilty of. Provide one single finding of corruption against The Greens, or one of it members. Put up or shut up! That's the call.
