But typically, Scott Morrison thinks the voters are too stupid to see that, to see past the fact that he is merely trying to give his Liberal mate a leg up for a seat at the next federal election by painting her as a victim.

Clearly, winning seats is the ultimate game being played here. But it is completely unacceptable for our prime minister to mislead the Australian people about the Independent Commission Against Corruption.

To suggest Gladys Berejiklian was some kind of victim and beyond reproach might offer some insight as to why the Morrison government is so completely opposed to the idea of a federal integrity commission.

Surely no voter, either rusted-on Liberal or Labor, would think it is acceptable for politicians to be above even a suggestion that they may be called to answer questions.

It is clear Mr Morrison thinks that politicians, at least those within his party, are beyond reproach.

That is a serious concern. What is even more serious is that Mr Morrison is undermining the important role of ICAC, and through his comments is creating suspicion in the minds of some voters who may not see this for what it is - purely self-interest.

The commissioner and the counsel assisting the commission have done nothing to deserve suggestions that they are part of some kind of vendetta against Gladys Berejiklian. That is a complete mistruth.

ICAC acts on behalf of the people, who pay our politicians' sizeable wages. It seeks the truth.

Anyone who watched the hearing would have seen that the former premier was treated with respect throughout the process.

Regarding the story about Wagga's Stamp and Coin Fair, Australia is not heading toward a cashless future.

Last week another $118 million was added by the Reserve Bank to the total value of banknotes on issue in Australia, taking us to well over $101 billion worth of physical Australian notes circulating in the community.

The cashless society is common phrase that incites fear and alarm in many people who trust and rely on cash.

Just because some people like to tap and go, does not mean that cash is going to disappear completely.

Cash is safe, private, reliable, surcharge-free and king forever.

In 1891, when Australia's first coal-fired power station began producing cost-effective and reliable electricity, life expectancy of the average Australian was 50.

In 2021, following 130 years of access to cost-effective and reliable electricity which has provided us with affordable medical equipment, medicine, plentiful food and air conditioning; life expectancy of the average Australian is 82 years of age.

When net zero carbon emissions legislation is introduced and only wealthy people can afford electricity, it's likely that life expectancy for the average Australian will decrease.
