Honestly, these committees would be above the law. What with Senate committee charged with ascertaining parliamentary privilege in the an investigation of Conroy and sort. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-03-28/afp-ordered-to-return-stephen-conroy-seized-documents/8394590 Now in parliament ALP members demanded that the government was instrumental in AFP investigations and further claimed that the AFP did interfere in the electoral process at the best of the Coalition. This from the usual suspects of Shortens crew strictly stating they are not reflecting of the AFP while they are stating the AFP executed search warrants not in the course of investigations but due to demands of the government... BUT turn the page http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-03-30/tasmanian-treasurer-may-be-held-in-contempt-of-parliament/8400312 Now how in god’s name can anybody say these politicians have the best interest of the nation. The ALP directly criticises the AFP for carrying out an investigation and the Coalition for trying to hide the truth from the people??? The dishonesty demonstrated on both sides of politics is incredible and let us not let the Greens think they are the consummate accountable party with their dishonest policy stances and like. Surely these politicians have to be held accountable, it is about time a independent body be created to ascertain the validity of these politicians (or criminality)…
