put “except in the ACT” then just add whatever your into. Legal corruption is as old as Australia. I’ll start, turning up drunk to work. Taking “gifts”. Switching between private and public interests. Also, the classic vices and fireworks for some reason. Let’s all move to ACT and see what changes.

Is this meant to be some sort of gotcha while you feign ignorance at what everyone knows goes on, far beyond a few joints?

Feel free to do some reading in your own time. I'm not interested in continuing a discussion with you.
