This video from Muso is really sobering.

I watched it in a cafe with the kids just now - even with all the distractions of an outside table and 8 and 11 year olds Muso's art is captivating and devastating.

I hope Jeremy Stoljar and Justice Heydon watch it.    Perhaps a work like this might bring them closer to the epiphany Australia needs them to experience.   Phillip Street gentlemen are inherently civilised and are likely, therefore, to find great difficulty in accepting the proposition that the Labor/Union complex is inherently corrupt and thus decisions of Labor governments - while ostensibly proper - are often the fruit of that poisoned, corrupted tree.

Trade unions are monopolies with immense power and no competitors - their leaders make their own rules, they pay no tax, they have their own political wing, they select their own legislators and the scale and audacity of their corrupt and racketeer influenced codes of conduct are too vast for most of us to accept, let alone to fix.

I hope this year the TURC will rise to that challenge.  Pursuing young girls in the witness box over cab chits and text messages  makes good theatre, but it's hardly likely to trigger societal change.  Make no mistake, societal change is what we need now.  That's a big job.  That's why we have a Royal Commission with big powers.  

The first step for the TURC is to see the problem and the TURC is not there yet.

It's up to Justice Heydon and his team to decide whether the Heydon legacy will be cabchits, SMSs and embarrassed girls - or an Australia with a cleansed soul.

Thanks Muso, sometimes it takes a piece of art.
