Tony Fitzgerald QC needs no introduction as a strenuous opponent of corrupt and unprincipled government. Accordingly, it was heartening to hear him interviewed on the ABC's PM program on 11th March. You can view the transcript of his interview here or play the sound track here.
I also took considerable heart from the circumstances of Tony's speech. He was launching Parliamentary Integrity Awards for a body known as the Accountability Round Table, a body of which I was previously unaware and whose motives I heartily applaud. The full text of Tony's Swan Song Speech can be accessed on the Accountability Round Table web site here.
Tony's damning criticism of kangaroo democracy was not directed at any particular individual or state but I could find scarcely a word that didn't ring painfully true for the NSW context in general and NSW's contemptible government in particular.
