Why are we not surprised that an upper house enquiry into bribery and corruption in land rezoning in western Sydney has resulted in " no wrongdoing " being found.
This enquiry arose from the murder of businessman Michael McGurk and the revelation that a tape recording existed that it was claimed had secretly recorded bribery arrangements between Labor parliamentarians and government officials in exchange for favourable land rezonings.
It seems strange that the enquiry did not even bother to hear this tape !
Some would conclude that this enquiry was so " politically correct " - that it would have had difficulty tracking an elephant through a snow drift !
There are none so blind as those who do not wish to see !
Fortunately this upper house enquiry was only one of the three enquiries under way, and we are still waiting for a response from both the police and the ICAC investigations.
The suggestion of corruption leaves a bad smell that lingers. The only way to clear the air is to have a full and honest enquiry that drags all the facts - kicking and screaming into the open.
That does not seem to be " the politically correct " way !
