Spivs Inc [NSW] and Developers Unlimited

Last week ABC 1 Stateline ran a segment on the recent political donations scandal, which showed footage of the NSW Parliament and Planning Minister Frank Sartor declaiming towards the Opposition benches: You look like a spiv, you talk like a spiv, you act like a spiv and you are a spiv.

 

Last night Stateline confronted the minister with evidence of alleged partial conduct favourable to a large development corporation which happens to also be a donor to the NSW Labor Party.

 

Stateline's host Quentin Dempster demonstrating remarkable restraint did not say to Mr. Sartor: You look like a spiv, you talk like a spiv, you act like a spiv and you are a spiv.

 

In front of my television I was not so restrained.
