We have been saying for years that both Australia's major parties are corrupt. Sadly, the nation is stuck on a treadmill of punishing one incompetent, corrupt government and replacing it with another corrupt government at the polls. Today we saw NSW Premier Barry O'Farrell resign because he perjured himself under oath at an ICAC hearing. Sure, wine was involved, but like Arthur Sinodinos, O'Farrell had a memory lapse under oath. Very convenient for their memories to always fail under oath, but this one was caught out. All the while Prime Minister Abbott sings the praises of these alleged crooks. Abbott called O'Farrell's perjury before ICAC 'honour and integrity' and declared 'full confidence' in the ex-Assistant Treasurer of Australia Arthur Sinodinos.
This is corruption at a very high level. It involves fraud and the laundering of public money into Liberal Party funds. These people thought they were above the law and untouchable.
We have theories about why there is such a strong tradition of corruption in Australia. For a nation to be an entire continent and to have abundant resources, and yet be so small-minded and anal in it's thinking must be caused by something. Of course Australia's convict heritage is often blamed, but what has Australia done to exorcize the ghosts of convict transportation? Nothing. We hang on to the myth of British monarchy like a nation of children with a bed time story and a teddy bear. International affairs is no fairy tale. Why hasn't Australia been adult enough to accept our own identity rather than being a middle aged child that couldn't cut the apron strings and leave home? Australia is a continent now ripe for invasion, either militarily or economically because we are too immature to stand on our own feet. We are brainwashed by US TV into believing it's normal to run on endless credit and never pay it back. We are actually living in cuckoo land with our ridiculous political, legal and religious culture based on fake elitism, double standards, sexual abuse and lies. We must accept the best of what is Australian, own our real identity, and dump Prime Ministers like Tony Abbott who are just agents for the country of their birth. If England and it's fake 'royalty' is so great then go back and live there Tony Abbott and leave us with our gum trees and kangaroos. Stuff your foreign kings and queens and their knighthoods for pedophiles.
British imperialists imported 85,000 convict slaves and carried-out genocide in lutruwita. Today every adult Tasmanian is represented by 21 parliamentarians. The state is a bankrupt, colonialist basket case. We can publish your original content under the Creative Commons Attribution license. insidetasmania at gmail dot com

We Can Do Better Than Paywall Mainstream Media
Today the World is crippled by debt. Many countries are dictatorships. Corrupt corporations got rich destroying the Earth's climate. Many economies are now unstable. Our current role is exposing Australia's corrupt, self-serving media.
