Last Thursday was a sad day in ACT politics, with the local Integrity Commission making a finding of serious corrupt conduct against two public officials in relation to the Campbell Primary School refurbishment - the Kingfisher report. ACT voters are entitled to be angry.
But they can also take a small measure of comfort, even - dare I say - express some pride in their local democratic system with this development. The reason is that the ACT polity is a very, very late arrival in the world of corrupt government.
