Most and least trusted

With the release of the 2010 latest list of most trusted Australians and most trusted professions, I was reminded of a survey  published  by the Reader’s Digest in 2008.As they said, trust  depends on the particular situation. It seems that The Queen would be most trusted with an embarrassing secret and with e-mail passwords and the secrets of your inbox.

Oh dear!  Republicans proposing some sort of yet unknown politicians’ republic ought to look at the list of professions in order of trust in the 2009 Reader’s Digest survey:

1. Ambulance officers
2. Firefighters
