Not while this premier is in charge.

It’s about time a few truths start coming out. A few REAL facts.

Well all the gall of you Mr Bryan Green.- re your latest spiel in parliament on democratic processes. For a start how can we trust any thing someone in your position says when they have been charged with conspiracy? Via someone in your own party recommending you and the TCC should be investigated. Can’t believe you’re actually allowed to still be in parliament, in such a position, until you have been cleared. What’s going on in that place? How can you politicians expect us to trust you?

Let’s have a look at the rhetoric of the past that does not support democratic processes. You may recall telling us that you and Forestry would deny the fact, of ourselves being told that Forestry would silt up our creek and the home of the federally protected Giant Fresh Water Lobster. This in itself may not be a big issue, though at the time it was to us, but the issue of, the blatant in our face admitting the spoken word, but saying it would be denied, is a big issue. It is representative of the denial tactics, of the shallow depths some in this labor party will go to. The fact you people would actually lie in the face of a true fact. Where is honesty, integrity in that? How can we trust you? Make sure you shut your eyes in the future when looking us in the eye and denying the truth! Go and study the words “truth” and “democracy”.

Maybe when they start telling the truth we will trust them.

Trust in Government is up to those elected to ensure they act with integrity and honour at all times. Regrettably until there is a huge shift in attitude and conduct nothing can change and public perception will continue to be correct.
I never cease to be shocked at the way elected representatives so boldy treat their constituents with disdain. Even more, I continue to be absolutely shocked that many of these are re-elected. I almost vomit when I read the oath of office these people swear which includes in part
“CODE OF ETHICAL CONDUCT
