Oh boys, c'mon now, firstly don't forget that Politicians have the word 'honourable' in front of their title and name, so it can't be true. Secondly, envelopes filled with cash and free hand cranks at the local 'rub n tug' is so 1980's! Today's more savvy crooked Pollie prefers a directors role with a favoured company once he leaves office, or a plum consultant role worth a cool Million bucks for a few months work, or a house extension on their Potts Point mansion, jobs for families and friends, insider trading knowledge, or a directors role with a construction and development company that has inherited some airport land dirt cheap, or similar tasty trough morsels, that's the way it is done today! Not envelopes filled with cash you silly boys.
Today's crooked Pollie isn't a dribbling sloth or grubby buffoon like Russ Hinze or a stuttering retarded peanut farmer from Kingaroy, no today's crooked Pollie has silver hair, wears Armani suits and speaks articulately while holding an MBA or PHD.
Aagh yes, times have changed, but the greed and corruption remains. Same gift, just wrapped in a different parcel.
"Overflowing troughs for some"
