No ethics in the political classes and are journalists any better?

Most voters probably will never know the story of the lost dictaphone machine so the impact on the Victorian political future will be near enough to zilch. Which is a pity really. For the lesson that should be learned is that operatives on both sides of politics are unethical grubs. Anyone interested in honesty in politics would avoid Labor and Liberal like the plague. And when it comes to journalists, they should be despised for their habit of secretly recording conversations in a manner condoned by their editors.

A pox on the lot of them.

And if you wondering what I’m going on about then read this report from the ABC: Victorian Labor admits staff destroyed journalist’s recording device after listening to its contents. It is a shameful story.
