This is a fallacy spread by the LWNJ's on this thread. Lib, Lab, Greens it doesn't matter what party they're from the separation from contract dollar spending is far too great for a federal politician to be involved in corruption as defined by law and in previous ICACs
Simply put, state politicians have a greater ability to be involved in corruption due to their direct capacity to be involved in decisions around developments and contracting etc.

The other fallacy you LWNJ's fall into, is claiming that pork barrelling is corruption. Per the definition of corruption it is not.

All a federal ICAC will catch is any preselection bastardry conducted by candidates, of which some has already been highlight by Anthony Byrne.

Would you not think that the powers bestowed in the establishment of a Federal ICAC will determine the extent of their reach. Or are you specifically referring to Morrison and Porter's version that attracted derision from the legal profession and others for effectively giving a free pass to politicians.
