| THE way senior public servant Warwick Watkins tells it, the decision by him, his deputy and the former planning minister, Tony Kelly, to fabricate a document, might have been dishonest but it was all for the greater good.
''Noble cause corruption'' was the same term that was used by crooked police: the end justifies the means.
Back in March, while the state government was in caretaker mode leading up to Labor's humiliating electoral defeat, Mr Watkins, the head of the Land and Property Management Authority, took it upon himself to buy, on the government's behalf, a $12.2 million property from developers.
