Governments are not corrupt. People are corrupt. This is an important difference because the party in power may be the same but people can change.

Investigations into the corruption of the past are underway, but despite daily revelations in the press it is not something that should be hurried. Justice may take time, but I am optimistic that it will prevail.

It is also somewhat unhelpful to see govt as being intrinsically corrupt because there is no solution to that since govt is a giant faceless blob. If we rather see people as corrupt we can hold those people to account - and yes that takes time. The first step is in changing the people at the top, and at least that has happened.

If nothing else shining a light on the previous administration will make it easier to spot errances in future administration.
