Now this is another twist. I saw this poor woman's face. The look of sheer relief was evident. It was a very heavy burden being the target of a smear campaign. Joe Tripodi is a menace and I only hope there is some justice comes to all of the lives that have been effected by this corrupt government operating with Mining Companies.

JODI MCKAY, FORMER NSW LABOR MP: I heard from ICAC what I had suspected and it came as a shock to me, but it was cleansing, yes. I've wait three years.
TONY JONES: Ms McKay said she'd previously rejected any legal offer from Mr Tinkler to bank-roll her campaign in exchange for support for a billion-dollar coal loader in Newcastle. She said when she was told Mr Tinkler, when she told Mr Tinkler it was illegal to take donations from developers, he told her he had hundreds of employees and could get around the rules.
