This is one the general media seem to be keeping clear of no idea as to the veracity of the story but thought SP would like to blame the media

That is priceless, unbiased, balanced reporting, of an issue we all know happens and as I've said it isn't nice people that enter politics.
The issue I have, is you left wing dudes, think Labor are as pure as driven snow and offer a more moral option. ?
Put another way, no one is going to vote Labor, because they think they will be getting a politician with more integrity.
They will vote Labor because they think the current Government has run its course, it is only you rusted on flag bearer guys that think Labor permeates with honesty, history soon deflates that balloon.
The only reason the coalition attract more bad press, is because they are in office twice as much as Labor, Labor struggles to stay in long enough to get the serious scams going. ?
The last time they had a decent run, they got their nose in the trough o.k.
Unlike many, I don't need some media muppet, to tell me that there is corruption, shady deals and immoral politicians, I'm old enough to know that.
By the way, has that guy in the clip done any articles on Labor?

As to the veracity of the story, well you just have to check Wiki, everyone seems to point the finger at others who post up dubious sources.
Stones and glass houses comes to mind. ?

At the time of the photo, Bond had just won the America's Cup and hadn't done the corrupt stuff yet (or even left his wife).That is priceless, unbiased, balanced reporting, of an issue we all know happens and as I've said it isn't nice people that enter politics.

it all went balls up with the 87 crash and then a lot of these guys (Skase etc.) were in financial difficulty and some of them started breaking the law.
You going to tell me Hawke was corrupt? ( I voted Fraser that election, first time I voted and the landslide shocked me a bit.)

I am a bit more circumspect than to call an individual corrupt, I would say a lot of politicians leverage their position to assist with their futures, many end up extremely rich while coming from poor backgrounds over a relatively short career that doesn't pay much. ?
It isn't party specific, it is human nature.
During the 80's there was all sorts of scams going on, Bond, Skase, Holmes a Court, spaulvin, Connell, there were a huge amount of speculative entrepreneurs that took advantage of a recently deregulated banking system, would they have greased palms? Never.

I guess the law of averages says, eventually he will find something to talk about, no matter how small the target tries to make itself.

Well there you go I voted Hawke, I thought Fraser was a nasty piece of work, just shows everyone has different perceptions.

Fraser got involved in some good work after he retired whereas Hawke just lived a good life.
Hawke I don't think was a particularly 'nice' person, but he was a good leader. Just my opinion.

Both statements very true IMO, I think Fraser realised what an absolute $hit he had been, when he hit an age where you reflect on your life.
Hawke was a loveable larrikin, he achieved things that no other politicians would have been able to do, but as a person I would say he put Bob first and foremost always.
There is a common denominator with both IMO.

Perceptions and deceptions.
Gough well and truly should have been sacked
Fraser was a Manchurian candidate and should never have been voted in and should have been expelled from the Liberal Party.
Book turned out to be a good prime minister for the times.
Keating could have been good but was too much of a dick.
How it was good for his time but should have handed the reins over to Costello... Major **** up there.
Rudd - Gillard - Rudd - Gillard -Rudd- Gillard - Rudd (don't think I miscounted there, did I?) were an unmitigated disaster.
Turnbull, even worse.
Scomo, even worse again.
Did I leave anyone out?
And the absolute worst thing in my mind is that the only way from here is down.

Well he certainly did the least, all the others tried to do something, whether it was right or wrong is subjective, but there is nothing I can remember Abbott actually doing. Other than saying Australia has too many bludgers, as though anyone cares about that. ?

Abbott stopped the boats and I give him full credit for that. Deaths at sea had to be stopped.
But he stuffed up the economy in his first year by going with austerity instead of growth.
Turnbull had just started to turn it around and ScoMo almost had us "back in black" prior to covid.
