PRIME Minister Julia Gillard says she has no tolerance at all for politicians who use their office to profit themselves rather than advance the public good.


Her comments come as the NSW Independent Commission Against Corruption today resumes its inquiry into the conduct of some NSW Labor politicians, amid allegations of rampant corruption in the awarding of mining deals.

There are concerns within federal Labor that evidence so far to the inquiry is having an adverse impact on the Gillard government’s standing with voters, especially in western Sydney.

Ms Gillard, who is spending the week in the area, said what was emerging from the inquiry was truly disturbing but insisted she was not in a position to prejudge the outcome.

“But I can certainly say I have no tolerance for conduct within my political party or any political party which is about profiting for individuals rather than pursuing the pubic good,” she told Sky News.
