At long last, there are no more trees left for Burke to hide in

POSSIBLY the best piece of news that came over the radio for a long time was the announcement that Ray Burke was handed a tax bill for 2 million.

Smiles broke out as people interrupted their lunchtime sandwich to listen to the bulletin and realised that, after all, there is a God.

The reaction to the former minister facing his comeuppance at long last was like a breath of fresh air over the nation, especially coming on the heels of George Redmond being successfully prosecuted last week for corruption.
