"All of them disgraced. The stench from Labor is matched by the stink from the spivs at the big end of town."

Mike Carlton in today's Sydney Morning Herald has very neatly summed up what most rational people are thinking about recent events at the NSW ICAC.

Labor richly deserves the savaging it is getting over the Eddie Obeid and Ian Macdonald scandals. It tolerated these scoundrels in its ranks far too long. A conga line of NSW ALP grandees and apparatchiks turned a cynical blind eye to their sordid intrigues.

...

But there is another point worth making. Of the eight other men fingered as corrupt by the ICAC on Wednesday, you would bet that most have never voted Labor. They include the corporate titans Travers Duncan, a mining baron; John Kinghorn, the founder of RAMS home loans; and Richard Poole, a merchant banker and company director. And there were the two legal lions John "What's the shortest distance to a pot of money?" McGuigan and John Atkinson, heavies from the global law firm Baker and McKenzie.

All of them disgraced. The stench from Labor is matched by the stink from the spivs at the big end of town.
