I do acknowledge I could not get you to agree on regional funding and I give you full credit for the lengths you have gone to defend the government not doing what it said it would do.

I'm deeply worried by some of the apparent corruption I'm now seeing (look at the VIP lane for PPE procurement for example) and our inability to tackle this as a country.

To remind: Chris made the point quoted below which I turned into a question:

The logic behind your position is that our own government and our own democratic processes are not to be trusted and we need a remote organisation to do these things for us in order for them to be done properly. That’s a position I find rather worrying.

You gave a round-the-houses answer to a very simple question. But, because you are "deeply worried", I suppose we can conclude that our own government cannot be trusted.

What about our own democratic processes? Are these to be trusted?
