A little bit closer to home i do hope Gladys doesnt get punted she's been a decent premier and i will say the most flabbergasting thing for me was she was actually getting a bit. From what ive seen from the ICAC was she wasnt overly interested more or less as if you were speaking to a mate who was full of it all the time you just go yeah yeah. Gladys has been getting hammered for days far more that that imbecile Andrews has gotten and he's arguably responsible for 800+ deaths, I hate to have that fool running my state.
I agree with you that Gladys has done a great job during COVID (well at least overseen a great operation) and I like her, but it seems to be clear that she at least either was aware or should have been aware of serious corruption and actively turned a blind eye. I cant see how she can stay. If that is going to be allowed to get away with knowing a member is corrupt and do nothing then its a very dangerous precendent. Barry had to go for two bottles of wine.
She probably should have been aware but she's not on her own there the bloke obviously fooled a lot of people, i think the reason she could stay is she has runs on the board and is popular. But in saying that there's every possiblity she does go, couple of bottles of wine doesnt seem so bad for Barry.
But compare Gladys to Andrews the guy is a shocker he's lied through his teeth consistantly and he doesnt look like going i know its a low bar but still. Even the idiot in Qld and the muppet in WA some of them are acting like the run the country Gladys is streets ahead of any other leader, she has her faults though as they all do.
The difference is he is incompetent, she is corrupt. Andrews would lose an election because of his incompetency whereas Gladys shouldn't even be allowed in office.
I feel sympathy for her, particularly as women are often targeted more than their male counterparts. However, in this situation people are giving her an escape clause because of supposed vulnerability of the heart in excusing her. Had this been the other way around the hatchets would be firmly planted in his back and head lopped off.
Gladys knew of impropriety and literally stated that she did not want to hear anymore. Worse still is that her and her partner in this crime gave evidence that he also kept things from her for the purposes of plausible deniability.
