People miss the point, because you don't explain your point.
You seem to be the only one, that thinks you are clever and you think everyone else is an idiot.
It's kind of self explanatory.

Not Ozzie politics, but so very pertinent for us.

NSW, hasn't it always had corruption issues, the ABC headline is typically misleading, TOP COP, really should have been former top cop it doesn't say that until you read the article. Pretty average reporting as usual IMO.Here's some abc news then

The current top cop is probably a bit pizzed understandably, if I was him, I would be asking for a formal apology.
Didn't some for political guy Obeid hit the news over there? but where there is money or power, there is corruption, it goes with the territory.
Disgraced former Labor minister Eddie Obeid enters prison to begin sentence over coal mine conspiracy
Former NSW Labor minister Eddie Obeid has entered a Sydney jail after a judge dismissed his application for permanent bail made on COVID-19 grounds.

It's not called deflecting, it's called highlighting, as I've already tried to explain to you in another thread, nothing is one dimensional.
Look at issues from all angles and you find there are flaws in all systems especially proceedural issues, because corrupt people will always try to find ways to exploit their position.
The issue you have trouble with, is that you think corruption or bad behaviour is isolated to one side of politics, when in fact it isn't isolated at all wherever people with low moral standards get into a position of power they tend to abuse that power, be that the police force, political position or even in a football club.
And by the way, I'm obviously not the one who has trouble figuring things out, as is no doubt shown by our replies.
So we have the Premier,the deputy Premier and the top cop how many more angles do I need to look at?

I've already told you, where ever there is a position of power or money, there will be someone of low moral standard trying to get the job to exploit it.
It can't be simpler than that.
Which State are you talking about Victoria, NSW or Queensland, they all seem to be in the papers for some form of corruption or other.
As I've said previously, I judge on performance and projected outcomes, not on which party my father voted for.
Probably the state that the top cop was from ffs

Is that the person who is the top cop now, or are you talking about a person who used to be a top cop?
FFS be accurate, your not writing for the SMH now. ?
Try and focus on one thread, the power thread is way above your pay grade, stick to this sort of cheap mudslinging thread. ?
It will improve the quality of your postings.

Interesting article, stepping on very thin ice:
www.smh.com.au
Being the treasurer of Australia isn’t easy. Voters only give you a pass mark if you succeed in two very different tasks at the same time. They expect you to prudently balance the federal budget, but they also want you to help balance their own household budget with tax cuts and generous family payments.
This is much easier said than done because balancing the federal budget means keeping revenue high and spending low, while supporting family budgets often requires the exact opposite: tax cuts and higher spending.
It’s time to return to Costello economics, whoever wins the federal election
Rising prices for fuel and groceries, rising mortgage interest rates ... voters are starting to realise a direct link between the huge hole in the federal budget and the holes in their pockets.

That article also highlights the issue of rising inflation.
We all know the Govt can't stop interest rate rises but if prices go out of control it might want to revisit raising the superannuation guarantee instead. ALP previously wanted this. Employers merely subtract a higher % off incomes but interest rates stay low which is good for investment

Just Nailed It.
China responds to claims of partisan meddling in Australia, saying it didn’t realise there was a difference between Labor and Liberal
The Chinese Government has sought to clear up a misunderstanding about its interference in the upcoming Australian election, saying it didn’t support Labor over the Coalition, having always assumed it was the same entity.
“We thought it was just a different word you used for the same thing,” a spokesperson for the Chinese Government said today. “Sometimes you call it Liberal, sometimes you call it Labor. It’s all just one and the same right?”
He said political parties were often referred to by two different names. “Like the Conservatives in Britain are sometimes called the ‘Tories’. The Republicans in America are called the ‘GOP’. One Nation in Australia are sometimes just referred to as ‘racists’. We thought it was something like that”.
He said analysts in China were surprised to learn they were different entities. “We’ve studied it a lot and, while the Liberal Party people seems a little bit crazier, when it came to policy we couldn’t find a discernible difference”.
