    You ASSUME O'Ffarrell lied. Show some evidence or moderate yourself for posting unsubstantiated claptrap.

    "O’Farrell either lied or forgot; he denied misleading ICAC today, and instead insisted he’d had a “massive memory fail”. Then he quit. There are few who will seriously entertain the idea that he lied: O’Farrell, in various shapes and sizes, has been an MP for nearly 20 years and always been a straight talker.
    Politicians accepting responsibility and being consistent is an increasingly old-fashioned concept. From the Prime Minister on down, we’ve become used to politicians who believe statements they’ve made in the past are mere inconveniences, to be explained away or disregarded in the quest for political advantage. Other politicians may have tried to weasel out of it and conjure up a form of words to justify the lapse. To O’Farrell’s considerable credit, he accepted responsibility, reflecting a standard of ethics in public office far higher than NSW voters have had to endure." From Crikey.
