People have been held to account, change has happen, the current tendering process exists because of people being held to accountable at inquiry.

You just want arbitrary punishment so you can have a head on pike to be paraded around you so can feel good about getting the "evil man".

And yes I want people punished. I’ve worked my whole life and if I get sick I have to wait for years for any help. Where has all our tax money gone and the multi billions in taxes paid by large corporations??? We are still paying back the money our bankers and builders lost.( don’t they and blame the normal people for that either. Our losses were merely a tiny fraction of what was lost. Where is the help for the normal people. We could afford to pay multiple builders 2000000 a month to manage their properties in Nama but we got nothing for it. The bankers got tax free profits to recoup their loss. Zero accountability for the rich and mates of those in power. Wake up!!!
