A Royal Commission into Union corruption? Why?

[i-need-a-martini]

Is this really necessary given that it is a criminal matter?

Like how much does a Royal Commission cost? $400million? $600million?

And why is it that the Liberal Party are forever making the excuse that the 'public' have concerns and this is the reason they have to do something? ("Senator Brandis confirmed...it would be "irresponsible for the government not to respond in an appropriate way" to public concerns."). What concerns? I think the public is more concerned about the secrecy regarding the governments handling of the asylum seekers yet they don't think THOSE public concerns are important.

I think the mods should start a new forum called "Pinks, the Political forum" to spare the people that come here for a bit of fun or information

isn't there a fun and games forum, i thought this was a discussion forum - for people to discuss whatever they feel like (with limits of course.)

Your last 2 posts were a bit hard to read.

Nevertheless, I would be interested in seeing the poll you are referring to kingsway. Please provide a link. Thanks.
