Williamson arrested over hindering HSU probe
http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/wi...dering-hsu-probe/story-e6frf7jo-1226487850458
Detective Superintendent Dyson did not rule out further arrests in relation to the investigation.
"I want to make it clear that the investigation has not cleared any persons of interest," he said.
"In fact, we have more persons of interest now than when the investigation started."
In my opinion drsmith, I think the Craig Thomson issue is just the tip of the iceberg. I.M.O It won't be long before superannuation fraud hits the spotlight, I don't think there is any checks in place so one can only imagine what is going on.
That was from a post in August, have a read of this article Doc.

Mr Williamson gets a mention.
FAIR Work Australia has laid charges against independent MP Craig Thomson, alleging he broke industrial laws and union rules in splurging hundreds of thousands dollars of union funds on prostitutes, spousal travel, and high living.
FWA spokeswoman Diana Lloyd confirmed to The Australian that civil charges were filed in the Federal Court this morning, and served on Mr Thomson in the afternoon.
Damn itThe FWA action against Mr Thomson, being of a civil rather than criminal nature, has no direct bearing on his legal ability to continue in parliament, though it would be likely to embolden the federal coalition to apply further pressure on him to resign.
Sonewhere she learned that,What a feminist icon ...
LOLWhen Julia Gillard was told about these proceedings against Thomson today, she replied that 'Tony Abbott is a sexist, a mysoginist and that he kicks puppies when no-one is looking'.
When asked about her judgement when it comes to Labor 'blokes' like Mussels, Thomson, KRuddy and Mr 'slush fund', she replied that 'Tony Abbott is a sexist, a misogynist, has funny ears and is actually the re-incarnation of Santamaria'.
What a feminist icon ...
Not necessarily.Well well
Damn it
will have to wait on the police investigation which they say is well advanced
Not necessarily.
Fair Work Australia are bringing more than 60 charges against Thomson. If he is convicted of any/all of these, he can be fined $6600 for each one. That's nearly $400,000. The Labor Party have declared they will not be giving him any assistance, so if he were unable to come up with such a sum, he could have to declare bankruptcy, and if that happened he would have to resign from Parliament.
Lots of 'ifs', however, before we can look forward to any such thing.
Yes it is strange, they can seem to get away with throwing around slurs on Abbotts character.
While at the same time seeming to aid and abett people such as Thompson and Slipper.
In my opinion, it seems difficult to talk about this government without using the word shamefull. I'm not being funny, but how do you explain their behaviour in a word. Without swearing, even then you have to use two words
------- useless.
Globally, Australia's first female prime minister won the general admiration and affirmation of men and women alike and the same case was seen locally as online news site Crikey reported on Monday that Ms Gillard's poll standings were lifted in the past week, thanks both to male and female voters.
In terms of voting preferences however, Labor's wheels spun in the sand. No traction there.It is strange that Gillard's support of these sleazebags combined with the hissy fit against Abbott, raised her popularity in the polls with both women and men. Obviously as a population we have become inured to "shame." Gillard's Bonny and Clyde act with Bruce Wilson when she was a "young and naive" 34 probably impresses her female supporters.
NSW police have said for the first time that they will lay criminal charges, possibly before Christmas, over allegations of systemic corruption in the Health Services Union's NSW branch.
They have also confirmed that independent MP Craig Thomson remains a subject of inquiries.
The Australian has learned that FWA may issue subpoenas to determine the identity of a mystery individual on the NSW central coast whom Mr Thomson rang on some of the nights he allegedly spent with prostitutes.
Craig Thomson's home raided by police.

He's had months to clear the place out.
