Not sure if you've seen in the news lately ... two prominent Hunter Valley pollies caught by ICAC for taking bribes.
Andrew Cornwell and Tim Owen
Both were intelligent, personable, not bad looking, successful and with a long potential career ... both ousted in their first terms for taking a$10,000 bribe each from a property developer.
All I can do is shake my head and ask "why"?
$10,000 is nothing. And definitely not worth risking a long, influential and profitable career over.
I know Tim Owen's wife - a lovely, generous women with her own successful career - he's in for a very chilly time for being such a twit.
Stupid stupid stupid.
Don't get me started on Joe Hockey's stupid "poor people don't drive" comment ...
