IBob Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 It was never in doubt, but when a gangster runs a country It's the people of that country who should address the problem. That doesn't just apply to Russia. Nev What I am referring to is that the murder took place in London...and the British Home Secretary, Theresa May, refused to hold an inquiry. The widow eventually got this refusal overturned in the high court. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBob Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 This is the same Home Secretary who twice appointed inappropriately linked people to head the inquiry into institutional child abuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

planedriver Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 No corruption in Australia... They have got to be joking! Try looking at local councils just for a start. I you want to track down offenders like those involved with development sites in Sydney, start looking around areas with high volume Harley sales or the odd Lambo, and also the coercion involved that's getting applications approved.

Phil Perry Posted January 21, 2016 Author Share Posted January 21, 2016 Our public service might be reasonable, but politics is a bit suss. Local Councils are useful...... as an example of completely failed democracy Proper process isn't followed there. Nev That is very true Nev,. . . .last year I put in a quotation to supply some signage, . . .Secondary road signs, information boards, directions to local beauty spots that is ( The Highways Authority do the mainstream stuff and I have not got enough in the bank to bribe the correct person in HA to get into that work ) for a Parish Council. I did not get the job, OK, that's life, but I found out, quite by accident that the company who DID get the work, by a complete coincidence I am certain. . . . .( ! ) . . was run by the Son of one of the Parish Councillors. . . .Mmmmm Nepotism is alive and well in the UK. . . ( now I know why we got that dark yellow colour on the corruption chart ) I've put in an FOI request to the Area Council, for whom I have worked for many years. . . asking what was wrong with the contract quotation. . .this is causing some severe running around in circles and farting in church at the moment,. . .just for a stir. I don't mind LOSING a contract to someone who has placed a better price, or a more worthy suggestion / price, but I REALLY HATE a NON- LEVEL playing field and am persuing this one to the embarrasment of all concerned. . . . . I know this will not do me a lot of good, as people talk, ( especially bloody pollies ) but it's making me feel better anyway ! ! ! They might well have placed a better quote than mine, and if so. . .fair play. If the system is transparent, then I'm happy and I'll have to cut my margins a little, or get lower cost suppiles from China ( Oi,. . .BEX. . . . ?) The problem with Public Services is that they are staffed with People. . . .and People,. . .have agendas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also heard (though it would bear checking) that he had tarmac road all the way out to his place when all else was dirt. And what sticks in my mind was that, if anyone tried to confront him with any sort of criticism, he simply refused to respond or acknowledge it in any way: he wouldn't even begin to engage, just pushed out the bluster and the party line, insisted black was white, up was down. And the odd thing was that all this, including police corruption, took place against a backdrop of conservative behaviours that saw police roaming secluded beaches, arresting nude bathers, and a bookshop in Brisbane having posters of Michelangelo's David confiscated as full frontal male porn. As for the goings on down at the Gold Coast.... It really was like the wild west, bandit country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Here's how you can tell which is the least corrupt state... look at the label on your stubby. Return deposits would always be wanted by the population, but will always be opposed by the packaging billionaires. Just see where corruption rules. AND try and catch an ordinary bus the the airport in Melbourne and in Adelaide. Another example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birdseye Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Ummm, so are you saying a deposit on bottles makes South Australia potentially a less corrupt state? Interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
