Last week's survey results...
|
- Anywhere humans exist, there is corruption.
- Damn right there is, but I think only in the big companies where huge contracts are up for grabs, not so much in the normal small business.
- Really? That would imply some serious allegations. I'd be very surprised that a sign supplier could be bribed for a cheap price, or that they would create enough fear for a client that they'd hold them over a barrel.
- Absolutely, I keep hearing from various sources about one of our competitors who has bought many of it's clients. I can't be the only one wondering where the money is coming from since margins are very tight on this kind of work.
- Is it possible that the franchise groups use their national buying muscle to get the best deal on supplies or the best price on nation wide jobs? Could that be described as a form of legalised corruption or collusion - it certainly is not good for the small business operator who struggles to compete!
- Of course corruption exists, it is how big business survives.
- I want to be a buyer in a large corporation and get the offers that go with granting contracts.

An old priest lay dying in Woden's, Canberra Hospital. He had served the people near the nation's capital, Manuka for many years.
He motioned for the nurse to come near.
"Yes father?" said the nurse.
"I would really like to see Malcolm Turnbull and Bill Shorten before I die" whispered the priest.
"I will see what I can do" said the nurse..
The nurse sent the request to parliament house and waited for a response. Soon an answer came back; Both Malcolm Turnbull and Bill Shorten would be delighted to visit the priest.
As they were driven to the hospital in Malcolm's new BMW, Turnbull commented to Shorten, "I don't know why this old priest wants to see us, but it certainly will help our images and may even help our re-election prospects."
Shorten agreed it was probably a good thing.
When they arrived at the priest's room the priest took Turnbull's hand in his right hand and Shorten's hand in his left hand.
There was silence and a look of serenity on the old priest's face.
Finally Shorten spoke "Father of all people you could have chosen, why did you chose us to be with you at this time when your end is so near?"
The old priest slowly replied "I have always tried to pattern my life and behaviour after our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ."
"Amen" said Turnbull.
"Amen" replied Shorten.
The old priest continued, "Jesus Christ our saviour died between two lying thieving bastards, and I wanted to do the same."
