You need to change the water Mr

Man: If you want to get it clean, you’ve got to change the water Mr.

Bucket reads: Law & Judiciary

Despite public trust in the country's law enforcement institutions being at an all time low, President Yudhoyono (left) is resisting calls (and the recommendations of his own fact-finding team) for sweeping reforms to the AGO and police including the sacking of all senior officials implicated in the crocodile vs the gecko conspiracy.
