Right here at home, we have seen what happens when a politician breaks that public trust, when they are dishonest and corrupt.

Public trust in both government and corporations is low, and deservedly so.

The power to investigate is a great public trust.

I think there is a break down of trust generally, between people and politicians. I think that's come about for a whole variety of reasons.

People's trust in their public institutions depends on their government getting results.
