I agree with the point made by earlier speakers that most politicians act for the best of reasons, but the fact remains that some politicians were free to be corrupt and others were caught up in the grey area. The Flood tribunal will eventually make recommendations, but there are many reforms that can be made in the meantime. The process has already begun and the Labour Party has taken the lead in terms of the openness and accountability of politics in regard to election expenditure and so on. I condemn any attempts to increase election expenditure limits from their current levels. Something must be done about the loopholes that allow parties to spend whatever amounts they like before an election is called. The link between business and politics has also to be addressed. I support the Labour Party's proposal to ban corporate donations and limit personal donations. Public funding is the preferred option. While work has begun in that regard, much remains to be done.
