Cansdellgate - what a joke!
Like many, many others in the NSW electorate of Clarence and elsewhere, this writer is currently stuck for words. Former, and disgraced, MP for Clarence Steve Cansdell won the "lottery" today when it was announced that he's off scot-free after previously admitting he provided something significantly less than the truth in a statutory declaration about his driving behaviour. Read The Daily Examiner's report here.
Disgraceful, it seems now that all sides of politics will look after their mates, who cares what the voters think! The NSW government should be ashamed, as should the NSW Police and the DPP for bowing to political pressure. If the DPP hasn't enough evidence to proceed to trial where the defendent has admitted the crime then he/she should give the job to a 5 yo! And as for the value of a Stat Dec, post Cansdell I'd say worthless!

ReplyDeleteI'm hearing that NSW Police never asked KP to make a witness statement in original Cansdell 'investigation'.
