He'll be saying as little of substance as possible.Just cooking the popcorn now...
The little dog that's produced such a big smelly poo has been muzzled as per my post earlier today.
Will Craig Thomson finally give us some relief?

He's done a good job with that speech IMO, I tend to believe most of what he was saying.
He's made some serious allegations against FWA which should be investigated by police.
Not to say I think he's innocent, but he raised issues which need investigation.
Indeed, plenty of things that you would think could and should be proved one way or the other. To court it will go....

I wasn't very impressed to be honest, he strikes me as not the sharpest tool in the shed. My overall reaction is that he has raised more allegations but not really addressed the allegations against himself.

Depends what his objectives were, if it was to clear his name then I would say, no.

That's his aim.
It's all about stalling for time when it should be about justifying those calls from his mobile and justifying the expenses on the HSU credit card that was under his responsibllity.

He made some terrible accusations against Kathy Jackson, he's either an even bigger liar than I thought or she is corrupt.
I'm amazed how someone can stand up and just rant on for an hour, he must have spent weeks writing that, so much for the job he is paid to do.

He's stalling for time. That's why the whole process has been so drawn out in the first case.
Did he write it or did the lawyers and smarter heads in the ALP write it for him ?

Sounded more like him, it rambled on about how Jacksons car was funded by the union and other irrelevant innuendo.

I only heard bits of it but read separately that he said he wants the police to acquire and check the CCTV tapes for the days he is supposed to have been going to brothels which, he says, will demonstrate he wasn't there.
So far I've dismissed any thought that he was being set up, but the above did stop me in my tracks a bit.

It's possible he suppplied the basic information and others then contributed the speech to put it in the most favourable context.

This was not news to me, he has said this before (in a brief interview a week or so ago I think).
This is the first time I've seen parliament for awhile, can't understand why they brought in Anna Burke as speaker instead of getting Harry Jenkin back

It doesn't for me.
The onus of proof is on Carig Thomson to provide a tangable explanation for the expenditure on the HSU credit card for which he was responsible. If he wasn't personally responsible, he also needs to provide a tangable explanation as to why those transections wern't immediately acted upon once identified.
It's ultimately no more complex than that.

With respect to video tape of the brothels, weren't some of them escorts anyway (i.e. the ones that go to your hotel room ).

CCTV tapes are only required to be kept for a minimum of 24 hours (or more depending on other factors). There is no way in hell they would have CCTV from 5-7 years ago, and he would know that.
