Too honourable. Nice juxtaposition.
Interesting that reporters did not find prostitutes yet to say one way or the other.
Of course they're different.
But the principle cannot be concerned with degrees of wrongdoing.
Further, the claim that Ms Fisher may have had a mental health problem at the time could quite possibly also be claimed by Mr Thomson for all we know.
Maybe he (if charged) may claim a mental illness of addiction to sex which was beyond his control.
He wouldn't be the first to do so.
If anything, at this stage, when no charges have actually been laid against Mr Thomson, and charges have been laid against Ms Fisher, and if the opposition are morally entitled to be acting with such outrage as they are against Mr Thomson, can't you see the point that the government is quite correctly claiming that they have not made any such song and dance about Ms Fisher, and therefore it's 100% obvious that the opposition's outrage is based on pure political opportunism in the face of the numbers in the house of Reps.
I don't at all blame them for doing what they're doing, and I hope it bears fruit.
But I simply think the government has a rational point when they say they have refrained from comment about Ms Fisher.
I also have some doubts about Mr Abbott's new stand about not granting a pair.
This could come back to bite him and signals a new political low imo.
Labor would need to convince a Coalition or non-Labor alligned independent to be speaker.
I can't imagine a Coalition member doing it (tantamount to treason against the party). The other two options are Bob Katter and Tony Crook (WA Nationals).
Thomson had repeated his misappropriation of monies on several occassions......... He is not mental, just stupid.
You better start drafting the letter of discontent to your local Liberal member, just in case.What about slippery Peter Slipper, my local Liberal member. On the basis of selling his soul for a fast buck I would put him up there with Thomson.
Why not call the thread RELIEF we might be able to replace one set of clowns with our own
Personal appendages aside, he should have at least been more careful about the slots that credit card went into.may be hand relief, Craig shoulda tried that
Interesting article from the SMH by Paul Sheehan who has been speaking with a former chief of detectives:

''Utter garbage,'' said the former detective. ''Police do not need to have a complaint from a victim in order to investigate a crime.''
From Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery:
VANESSA: Let's gather your personal effects, shall we?
A clerk brings out a locker-basket and reads off a list: One blue crushed-velvet suit. One frilly lace cravat.
One gold medallion with peace symbol. One pair of Italian shoes.
One pair of tie-dyed socks, purple. One vinyl recording album: Tom Jones, Live at Las Vegas. One Swedish-made penis enlarger pump.
Austin (embarrassed): That's not mine.
Clerk (reading): One credit card receipt for Swedish-made penis enlarger pump, signed Austin Powers.
Austin: I'm telling you, baby, that's not mine.
Clerk (reading): One warranty card for Swedish-made penis enlarger pump, filled out by Austin Powers.
Austin: I don't even know what this is. This sort of thing ain't my bag, baby.
Clerk (reading): One book: Swedish-Made Penis Enlarger Pumps and Me: This Sort of Thing is My Bag, Baby, by Austin Powers. (The clerk shows the book to Austin, who is humiliated.)
Austin: OK, OK, man, don't get heavy, I'll sign. Just to get things moving, baby.
On Radio National this morning there was a report about one of today's papers carrying a cartoon showing a prostitute being asked to pick out her client from a line-up of naked blokes. Anyone come across this?
You can bet that the media is trying to find an "escort" who has serviced Thomson to interview on 60 minutes or something.
VICTORIAN police are investigating the placing of a shovel outside the Melbourne home of Health Services Union national secretary Kathy Jackson.
Both sides are as bad as each other Posted at 1:40 AM Today
"Mr Williams told the Prime Minister's most trusted adviser that he was legally unable to provide any information about his investigation." If this is true, then Hubbard wasn't told anything. It's also been revealed that the Victorian Liberal Government paid the legal fees of a Victorian Liberal Party politician. It's also been revealed that a Liberal Senator (Mary Jo Fisher) was arrested for stealing AND assault. This occurred in December, 2010, and Tony Abbott was advised soon after but did NOT reveal this information until 7 or 8 months AFTER. And then you have Tony Abbott, who in July, 2010, it was revealed by The Courier-Mail that he has promised to "fix" Michael Johnson's legal problems. Sounds like both parties have their hands full with leaders covering for their politicians.
