Call for curbs as property sector ramps up political donations

Corruption? Let s remind ourselves of Joh – Echonetdaily

As a Brisbane teenager in Sir Joh’s stifling, authoritarian, corrupt police state, I’d buy a Nation Review each week to read Mungo on federal politics. His dark humour grounded in passionate belief gave me a way to see a Queensland politics that had hope in it. When I mentioned this on Twitter after Mungo died, several Tweeps said yep, that’s what they did and how they felt too. My big cause now is the urgent need for a strong federal ICAC. There’s only one way to make it happen, citizens in Coalition seats need to insist their MPs support the bill by Indi independent Helen Haines (now backed by Labor, the Greens and every cross bench Senator and MP except One Nation).
