Betraying Public Trust

FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
"Why should the Public support the "Traditional Sovereignty Alliance" as the future entity for the exalted position of Public Political Representative at Local, State & Federal levels" ??
The Answer is quite simple -; The Political Arena is Broken by CORRUPTION - DISTORTION - LIES - MANIPULATION - Trading In Influence
Exposure seems to be happening on a weekly basis, so how can the Public have ANY Faith, Trust OR Allegiance to any Politician, never mind the institution of Government.
Yet, there is this in place-; "The Australian Government regards corruption as a serious global risk.According to the FATF. = "'…corruption has the potential to bring catastrophic harm to economic development, the fight against organised crime, and respect for the law and effective governance.'
See = http://www.austrac.gov.au/businesses/important-information-industry/corruption-and-bribery
"Effective Governance" ?? = REALLY ??
However, if that was True, then one would think such positions would also apply to Politicians at both State & Federal Levels BUT sadly, that is Not the Case as the following will attest to.
The age old comment of -; "Power Corrupts = Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely" from the nineteenth century quote by Lord Acton, was measured to a high degree in that era but is also very indicative of today's realm of Politicians.
We all would like to think that these so called Politicians act in a manner befitting Statesmen with the highest integrity towards their Public Representative positions, however, nothing could be "FURTHER" from the Real Truth.
The list & accusations are staggering.
Consider -;
"FEDERAL Political FRAUD ??
"The current federal Minister for Agriculture and Water Resources David Littleproud has direct family links to the $20 million Murray-Darling Basin fraud which has resulted in police charges in Queensland. David Littleproud’s wife’s cousin, John Norman, is the kingpin of the alleged $20 million fraud and was charged in August 2018 after the police raided his farm in October 2017.

Police Investigation over "Rorts for Votes" Scheme
"The Victorian Labor Party will be investigated by police over its misuse of public money during the last state election campaign
In March, the state ombudsman found Labor had misused more than $388,000 of taxpayer funds by employing electorate officers to political purposes.
The report by Deborah Glass found 21 MPs had breached parliamentary guidelines by certifying payments to electorate officers who were actually used to campaign for Labor during the 2014 election
"Victoria Police undertook reassessment of the material in relation to allegations of misuse of parliamentary budget entitlements to determine if further investigation was required,"

POLITICAL parties have been given a green light to mislead and deceive voters in taxpayer-funded electoral material, despite Julia Gillard's pledge to introduce tougher federal regulations.
As MPs and candidates begin bombarding voters with glossy election pamphlets in the lead-up to the September 14 poll, the Australian Electoral Commission still does not have any powers to decide whether political messages published or broadcast in relation to a federal election are true or untrue.
The issue was reignited this week after the Coalition revealed in parliament that a number of MPs had mailed out electoral pamphlets from Wayne Swan stating that: "We have delivered a surplus, on time, as promised
