A Royal Commission would cost tens of millions and it is difficult to see why taxpayers should shell out this sort of money trying to sort out the problems of those who lost money by seeking well above average speculative profits.

Mick Gatto off chasing crooks whilst Christine Nixon is busy recruiting midgets, an affirmative action female recruit with her trigger finger missing and every other rag tag bunch of misfits her Emily's list controllers deem more suitable than big white blokes. What next? Mick Gatto for Police commissioner? No wonder Victorians have lost respect with their waste of money affirmative action politically correct Police commissioner. Why waste more money on an OPES Royal Commission that's going to find that a bunch of punters were batting out of their league and they blew the lot. It happens at Flemington every race day. This time it happens to be on that other track like venue - the ASX. Maybe Victorians can't watch Underbelly yet, but what a great show they've got at the moment. You couldn’t write a book this good.
