So each time a potential reformer rates a mention (Carmody and Smith) they get beaten by a complete twat. Pretty obvious that the Government doesn't want reform, transparency or an industry that fosters employment and financial benefits for the economy.

My dear gobbles, the Guvmint wouldn't have the slightest idea what they want!!, except perhaps to retain their seat.
Murky Mandarins on the other hand know exactly what they want, the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow and they are prepared to do almost anything to get it.
