$ystemic corruption.
Ex Government employees, ex Ministers, ex Politicians lurking and sliding through the backrooms of State and Federal Parliament. Political donations have moved beyond the family’s love and support of an ideology Left or Right Liberal or Labor. Big money Big players. Greed and Power rule.
Mr Ferguson accepted a role as chairman of an advisory board of the gas and oil industry’s peak body, the Australian Petroleum Production & Exploration Association.
The association’s website acknowledges its status as a lobby group, saying it “works with Australian governments to help promote the development of the nation’s oil and gas resources in a manner that maximises the return to the Australian industry and community”. Its board includes representatives from Australia’s largest oil and gas companies including resources giants BHP Billiton, Origin Energy and Shell.
Mr Ferguson has taken a newly-created position of chairman of the association’s advisory board.
The association’s chairman, David Knox, says of Martin Ferguson, who served as energy minister for over five years: “There are few people in Australia with such a comprehensive understanding of Australia’s oil and gas industry.”
He says as chairman of the advisory board, Mr Ferguson will be responsible for “providing strategic advice” to the chair, board and chief executive of the association.
Both sides play the greed card
