A new round of inquiries may expose more than corruption and mismanagement. The deeper danger is what money, secrecy and insider access have done to public trust in politics and institutions, Jack Waterford writes. #auspol #Integrity #Corruption

The truth, forced out, is more damaging than coming clean

A new round of royal commissions and public inquiries may expose not only corruption and mismanagement, but the deeper erosion of public trust in politics, parties and institutions.

Are you listening Australia? Zionism as deemed in the U.K. is a racist ideology, it “promotes the establishment of a state for only one race of people", adding that it could also be described as "colonial and imperialistic". The royal commission some are fawning over right now is a farce. #auspol
