Abuse of power is legal unless called out. Shredding evidence of a gang rape of an under age Aboriginal girl in detention is illegal (There is no legal age for sex, she was under the age of consent too). However, Rudd will not be prosecuted for it. He had the power of authority that allowed him to do the act, although he did not possess the authority to do it. His authority was not his position as cabinet secretary, because another cabinet secretary, were they working for the LNP would have been both persecuted and prosecuted for doing it. Rudd's authority was the ALP badge. It is not the sole instance of that badge allowing abuse of power. When Gillard allegedly gave her client union powers to extort money from business, that was an abuse of power too which wasn't fully prosecuted. Or when Shorten allegedly abused work choices to steal member money that has not been fully prosecuted. Or in contrast, Thomson has not been prosecuted in the same way Jackson is being persecuted and the big difference is the ALP badge. Jackson lost her badge.
Internationally, it is not the ALP badge, but the media support of a leftwing agenda which allows abuse of power. Otherwise Truman would have faced hard questions over dropping two atomic bombs on civilians. Or Kennedy would face hard questions over selling out his partner for peace in the Cuban Missile Crisis. Or Johnson would have faced hard questions over his assassination of allies, or supporting corrupt allies. Or Carter would face tough questions for giving chemical weapons to Iraq. Or Bill Clinton would have to explain the deaths of former friends who could finger him for corruption, or his dropping bombs on civilians in Yugoslavia. Or Obama would have to explain how he came to sacrifice for no reason his people in Benghazi while dancing with Beyonce.
For some, at the moment, the Sex Party has more credibility.
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring
Snowin' and blowin' up bushels of fun
Now the jingle hop has begun
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancin' and prancin' in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air
What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go glidin' in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jinglin' feet
That's the jingle bell rock
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bell chime in jingle bell time
Dancin' and prancin' in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air
What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go glidin' in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jinglin' feet
That's the jingle bell
That's the jingle bell
That's the jingle...
