There has been much talk, but little follow-through, concerning the nasty reality of political corruption in this State. Early last year, Minister for the Environment John Gormley undertook to break the link between big business and politics and promised radical legislation to restrict political donations and spending. A year on: the legislation hasn’t appeared and Mr Gormley complains at the Green Party annual conference of unacceptable rezoning decisions and of councillors from other parties being in thrall to developers. What is going on?
Where is the promised legislation Minister Gormley?
Where is the promised ban on corporate donations Minister Gormley?
Makes these election leaflets from 2007 look kind of ironic. "Green politics ... Clean politics" indeed.
