Developer Corruption
Friday, February 29th, 2008
The State Government of NSW is in crisis.
In the midst of a flood of sensational revelations during the ongoing investigation by the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC), Premier Morris Iemma today stood down one of his Ministers.
This was due to the latest scandal in a multitude of corruption allegations emerging in the development approval process, which has so far heard evidence of payments of hundreds of thousands of dollars (as well as sex) provided by developers in order to help their applications along the approval process.
Will the government of Western Australia be next in the headlines? What lies behind their push to develop the pristine Ningaloo Reef coastline, one wonders….?
