It’s embarrassing for Australia that this entire saga occurred within in the last 10 years. Not some long ago scandal when general community sensibilities were different. While it was occurring it didn’t pass the pub test, yet it carried on for 4 years.

I hope some of the criminal/corrupt activities that have been referred to law enforcement by the royal commission result in meaningful consequences for those responsible.

    Shorten is the legitimate good guy in this saga, he started fighting this in opposition and has been against it from the start.

      So, I heard Shortens been using his speaking time, in parliament, to read into hansard ‘impacted persons/victims’ testimonies. So there is a permanent record of the disruptions to their lives.

      Its a pretty champion move. Because it means future pollies will have a harder time minimising these events for political purposes.

      I wish Shorten had the opportunity to be prime minister. Seems like a genuinely good person.
