Politicians disregard abuses of power
It seems Gladys Berejiklian is yet another of those politicians who believe in accountability for everyone else but themselves ("Premier was sent warning over $549m light-rail rise", March 9). Almost daily we read of MPs who rort the system, or in an effort to protect themselves, withhold vital information, mislead or deliberately lie to the public. Some of these instances would be deemed illegal outside of politics, and offenders charged. It is as if politicians are above the law, or licensed to exploit the taxpayer for personal gain. The major parties share the shame for allowing this disregard for morality and abuse of power to continue. Graham Lum North Rocks
