Two fleas flee:

I know that OLO and it’s followers are Queensland centric, but you Queenslanders don’t know ho lucky you are do you!
Wouldn’t you just love to have a bunch of alleged criminals running your State as polished as the NSW politicians?
At least old Jo had some vision for his State, which he loved more than himself.

Dan.

"Alleged" is the keyword. No proof yet. But, if you listen to the Lefties commenting on the new premier, the worst crime is to be Catholic and have six kids.

ttbn, "alleged" may well turn into "proven" very shortly. There is no doubt that Loverboy used his position (horizontal) to curry favour with Gladys. The end result is the Wagga Wagga Pigeon Club now has a loft that resembles the Taj Mahal.

NSW has a long history of corruption. You may think I only bucket on the conservatives because I am biased in favour of the socialists, to a degree that's true.

Let me tell you this; In my days in Sydney I spent many years close to State Politics and I knew a lot of people. I know of two Labor state MP's that were "paid off" during the Obeid days, there may well have been others, there probably was. The Sunday morning coffee get togethers, the office meetings to discuss up coming business, particularly Sydney property developments, corruption was systemic in those days. When the sh!t hit the fan, these guys were never prosecuted they escaped due to lack of evidence or lack of interest. Obeid could not have done what he did without a whole network of corrupt politicians, from local, state and federal levels, from both sides of politics. I stoped giving Labor a preference long before Obeid stuck his grubby hand into things. A good Labor mate of 30 years, a 2IC in the party organisation, when I would ask about something/someone he would say "He's been well looked after." or "that's going through without problems". He would say that not to big note himself, but rather at the time these guys thought they were untouchable, and probably were.

Is there a Law that doesn't allow non-lawyers to become senior politicians ? I mean, just about every high ranker is a lawyer. Going by past performances wouldn't many think it's high time to give better & more competent people a go ?

It's not because many politicians are lawyers; it's because of their nature. Anyone wanting to be a politician is a potential self-serving bully. It is only voters who can hold them to account, and Australian voters are not up to to the task.

A Victorian teacher has launched a Supreme Court challenge against the state's dictator's no-vax-no-job edict.

That's one Victorian still with a backbone.

Unfortunately, the Supreme Court, the one that jailed an innocent Catholic Archbishop, is part of Victoriastan's problem.

Sorry, Dan. Off topic, but relevant to crooked politicians everywhere.
