Will Craig Thomson finally give us some relief?

[MrBurns]

Just wondering how you would like to see Thomson treated if he was your son, for example.

I would have no control over how he was treated, but as he is the key to a change of Govt what he does is important, don't play tricks like vote with the opposition, don't have impromptu press conferences, just shut up and probably get out and let Gillard look after herself.

Or alternatively, consider how you'd like to see the low paid members of the HSU treated, with their union subs spent on prostitutes.

I know whom I'd be caring about more.

I'd kick him up the ar$e for starters

Well Thomson's childish prank put paid to any notion that he is depressed or suicidal from Coalition harassment. He is having a ball.

Maybe it was Craig Thomson who set them off on the hypocrisy bent, with his stunt as Mr Independent on Wednesday, voting with the opposition to send Tony Abbott and Christopher Pyne sprinting to neutralise his vote.

Thomson was meant to be licking his wounds, pleading just a week before, Greta Garbo-style, to be left alone - "enough is enough" - and then he guaranteed the spotlight turned back on him to score a political point.

Yesterday he was enjoying the show in parliament, though Liberal MP and general practitioner Mal Washer took the time to do a crossbench consultation, but refused to breach patient confidentiality. Suffice to say, Thomson was looking pretty chipper.

no relief in sight...they have shut down all debate on thomson.....since the word suicide was mentioned...
now everyone is too scared to say anything about him...regardless of any ongoing investigations....not one mp, or even the opinionista's, will now talk about him

what a delicious situation to be in.... half a million in rip offs, lying, etc and you get off scott free...
imagine if all the other crooks out there, screamed I might suicide....would the police and judicial system back off, allow them to go free ????
and the speaker in the house is supposed to play a bipartisan role....
look at her, trolling all the media, saying she feels like hurling abuse herself..she raised the topic of a former mp who suicided, as a warning to all today...to shut up about thomson...
it is truly disgusting
the alp in the majority are disgusting
but some of them did act grownup with the decision on rhineharts big investment with jobs plan....
but silly gillard destroyed any semblance of making a good decision...and took the alp back to her 'playschool' grade, standard of politics

The next move on Thomson is for the police or the FWA, not for the Parliament.

Our political leaders have failed totally here. It looks like the electorate will be left to make judgement when the time comes.

If the committee ever finds against Mr Thomson, sources said it would reprimand him at most.

well the case is starting to emerge in the media.

http://www.smh.com.au/national/accu...head-are-false-court-told-20120606-1zvfr.html

The Australian has a bit more, as its quick off the mark.

I do think there is much going on behind the scene here with Shorten etc.
As I have mentioned before I think Kathy Jackson will be out of a job when the dust settles.
She is going to lose it because she is "a whistle blower" in the eyes of the union.
However hopefully the voter will see her as "doing the right thing".

Meanwhile the little grub in parliament is watching on with great interest.

"The Australian" today outlined Kathy Jackson's having contacted the Judge's Associate associated with the hearing for putting the HSU into administration.

Obviously if she did this it was completely out of line. Pity. I've been impressed with her so far.

It appears that the original complaint of Williamson and Thompson misplacing funds, has now turned into a "get rid of Kathy" campaign.
Now we just know that will happen!. But what we really want to know, Is Williamson and Thompson involved in corruption.
This is going to be worse than "the flood inquiry".

Myself I do not take anything from Kathy contacting the Judge's associate, until I hear her explaination on why the contact. One would assume it will come out, however after the contact I can only assume she was told to make no comment to the media.

It seems that the prostitute pointing the finger at Mr Thompson has now admited that she wasn't in the country at the time of the alleged root. Not bad eh, paid $60,000 by channel 9 for not having a root. Must be the highest paid prostitute "not" in the country.

It all seems a bit sus. Perhaps Channel Nine's offer has been gazumped by Thomson's supporters.

Well ch9 did get a right royal screwing I would have thought

All good publicity - for $60k - bargain.

I don't buy the hookers story at all, her body language was all wrong, would not surprise me if some one has paid her to come up with the story I was in NZ. Hope I am wrong.

You must remember that in the "get off my back" doorstop speech Thomson was quite annoyed that Channel 9 had spent far more on prostitutes than he had. I think he has redressed that situation.

 

[Calliope]

It's not surprising that she was scared of the Labor enforcers.

"She said 'I'm still sure that its' him but I can't go through with this, I don't want the government on my doorstep for the rest of my life."'

Mr Williams said ACA had never claimed the woman was the prostitute related to a specific $770 credit card charge in May 2005, but she had said she had sex with him in 2004 or 2005 at the Westin hotel.

"We've known all along, or at least subsequent to the conversation with Craig Thomson which I had in his office, that that was a different prostitute altogether," Mr Williams said.

Who would have thought?
A woman of dubious virtue has dubious ethics!
I am sure Channel 9 will pick up another one who will say what they want given the right money.

It is sad to see such gutter press.
