Fair Work - Crook Deck: High Stakes Poker

Good on you Kathy Jackson - shame on you Bill Shorten

from the article below...

"HSU national secretary Kathy Jackson, who brought the allegations of corruption against Mr Thomson and Mr Williamson to police and the media, has branded Mr Shorten's move a desperate political stunt to try and insulate the government from the controversy surrounding the two men."

At long bloody last!! I've solved the cryptic clues in Gillard's Sunday speech re Thomson and Slipper when she was referring to "A line has been crossed".

It was the thin blue line, and lots of cops were crossing it today to fill their boots with HSU stuff.

Just in case you were wondering, Gillard & Co were crossing it in the other direction!

Gillard: I was trying to run away as far as possible but its all Tony Abbotts fault for slowing me down

Gillard Shaultz: I know nothing !

Look out Thomson and Williamson, they're coming to get you!!

Shame the shredders would have made short work of anything incriminating years ago.

How do you find the most relevant bits of info. when you invade the HSU offices?

You have your people in the car park, then send somebody in the offices a tip.

After some time, somebody will emerge with a heap of documents. You grab them.!!

Well, I think some result will be out quicker than the one "on the anzac biscuits".

What an absolute circus, the unions are, and Fair work is not very far behind them.

It will be interesting to watch the Fair Work honchos trying to lug files across the Fair work car park, after the upcoming Federal Election.

Which should be announced soon after the Bludget is brought down (correct spelling)

Shy News has a piece on the Union Chief of HSU offered Kathy Jackson a seat in Federal Parliament for her silence.

How much better is this sideshow going to get.?

I think a lot of people have a crush on her. So strong!

The acting president has "a few flies hovering above him also". In a statement he made about what Jackson should have done to resolve the allegations, he has been caught out.
I think we are going to find out shortly, how long Jackson has been involved with the Federal Task Force Carnarvon. It would be interesting to read her file on the corruption.

I think this saga Kathy Jackson's is involved in reminds me of Darby Shaw from the "Pelican Brief".

Is that the sound of someone pooping his pants ?

From the linked article;

Ms O'Neill has agreed to release the report to a Senate committee for tabling and publication.

But Mr Thomson, who has stood aside from the Labor caucus to sit as an independent, has asked that the report not be tabled because it could prejudice court proceedings.

Ha Ha - WHAT court proceedings? Mr Thomson's getting a bit ahead of himself here isn't he? Or does he know something we all don't?

Will it finally be high noon for Craig Thompson and Gillard Labor ?

Fair Work Australia general manager Bernadette O'Neill is scheduled to issue a written statement at noon "outlining the outcome of her deliberations on the investigation report into the Health Services Union national office''.

FAIR Work Australia has recommended civil action in the Federal Court against a former Health Services Union official, believed to be embattled MP Craig Thomson.

http://www.theaustralian.com.au/new...to-federal-court/story-e6frg6nf-1226348758463

Craig Thompson obviously thinks so.

CRAIG THOMSON STATEMENT:
I maintain my innocence and deny any wrongdoing.
Any proceedings brought against me in respect of the findings in the
report will be strenuously defended.
This whole investigation has been nothing short of a joke. It is
unprecedented that an investigative body has such little confidence in
its report that it seeks parliamentary privilege as a condition of the
report's release.
The CDPP has made it clear that there are no findings of a criminal
nature in the report.
The Police have made it clear that there is nothing in the Fair Work
Australia Report that is of a criminal nature.
I’m very glad the Police have seen it, because that is what I have
always called for – for Police to be handed the Fair Work Australia
Report.
The report is based on allegations - and that is all they are - have
not been tested by a court. These assertions are not based on proper
evidence.
These allegations are burdened with claims by two people, Michael
Williamson and Kathy Jackson, who are currently under criminal
investigation.
The investigation conducted by the Fair Work Australia delegate was not
authorised and the report is beyond the power of Fair Work Australia.
The investigation was not properly conducted and crucial witnesses
were not interviewed. The report indicates bias on behalf of the Fair
Work Australia delegate and a lack of fairness.

Bet some wives will be checking their husbands credit card statements now this report has been released:

The transaction
39. Mr Thomson’s CBA Mastercard statement dated 26 March 2003 (HSUNO.014.0007) discloses a payment of $330 on 26 February 2003 to what is described in the statement as ‘Aboutoun Catering North Sydney’ (Aboutoun Catering).

41. On 4 November 2011 FWA conducted a search of the Yellow Pages website (PUB.008.0015) which identified Aboutoun Catering as an Escort Service

Chris Urhlman deserves credit for his hard hitting interview with Bill Shorten on this tonight. He made Shorten look like a pathetic coward, which he is.

The ABC has been quite clear about naming Craig Thomson. This will be only the beginning.

But how typical: this action has been instituted on the eve of the Budget, so as to minimise news coverage by tomorrow.
Yuk!

I started to coment on that interview but my post was unpublishable.

Thompson is a bare faced lying criminal and that weakling Shorten and the rest of them ignore it, it's corrupt the whole thing is corrupt.

I had forgotten about this thread when posting the link to the FWA report and more fitting here - so here it is:

I have just read the FWA Report on the HSU and Craig Thomson and the other muppets running the HSU.

Poor bloody HSU workers, rooted by the people who were supposed to be representing them.

He will probably get a smart lawyer, and a parliamentary pension when he eventually retires.

Meanwhile the hospital workers toil away.

Life is not fair.
