"Mr Gallacher's barrister, Arthur Moses, SC, said he would stand down as minister during the inquiry. " SMH

IF the Inquiry finds he has done nothing wrong he will resume his position.

ICAC inquiry: Jodi McKay, Eric Roozendaal and the Nathan Tinkler 'bribe'

Jodi McKay wept in the witness box when she learnt the depths of the treachery of her former colleagues Eric Roozendaal and Joe Tripodi.

In a day of dramatic evidence before the Independent Commission Against Corruption, the former Labor MP for Newcastle revealed that former coal magnate Nathan Tinkler had tried to bribe her.

Are you posting that in the right thread?

[icyfroth]

it means he's not going to comment on it because he doesn't want to feed the media.

I think the corruption in Aus politics is a disgrace and they have the hide to mock other country's governments like Indonesia and China! Australias politics have been corrupt since day one, mirroring good old mother country England!

I'm glad the ICAC is exposing politicians and their parasitical benefactors whatever party they represent! Bring it on!

However. What will it bring forth? Will we like it more?
