It appears Craig Thomson is in for some Xmas joy as Victorian and NSW police are now confident they have the evidence to lay criminal charges against him before the end of the year.

Reports suggest police have uncovered ample evidence of corruption, including involving other union officials. Police have extensively interviewed others who have supplied corroborative evidence.

In what may be a reference to Kathy Jackson, a police source said, "There are people who, in the end, have done the right thing. They have finally questioned what's really been going on and have come away disillusioned with the explanation from those involved saying that nothing's wrong."

Asked if Mr Thomson would be charged, the source said, "That is more likely a possibility than not."

Another inside report suggested NSW police were giving certain people of interest a final opportunity to co-operate with police investigations before final charge lists were drawn up.

According to FWA's Statement of Claim in the Federal Court, Mr Thomson used hundreds of thousands of dollars of union members’ funds on prostitutes, high living, air fares for his then wife, Christa, Under question was the financing of his 2007 election campaign as the Labor candidate for the marginal NSW seat of Dobell.

Thomson's liability, if found guilty could, involve up to one million dollars.

Mr Thomson, did not respond to calls today, and has strenuously denied any wrongdoing as has Ms Gillard in respect of the AWU matter. Thomson said he would fight all charges brought against him.

"It appears the claim of, 'I've done nothing wrong' is commonplace in union and ALP matters", said one spokesperson.

NSW police officers on Thursday interviewed a Satya Champness, the personal assistant of former ALP President and NSW branch boss, Michael Williamson. Ms Champness refused to comment.

He doesnt need to be believed, just like that labor hack site you continue to use and anyone that believes the content is a moron. Kathy Jackson will be vindicated.

lolly would this be about you

A young biddleonian come home from school and said to his mum "At school today we learnt how to count and all the kids can count to 10 and I can count to 30. Is that because I am smart mum?"

His mum said "That you are very smart son. Your dad and myself are very proud of you."

The next day he come home from school and said to his mum "At school today we learnt at alphabet and all the kids can say up to M and I can say up to V. is that because I am smart mum?"

His mum said "You are very smart son."

The third he come home from school and went straight to his dad and said "Dad at school today we played games and sport, we all got muddy & dirty and the girls went into one room to have a shower and we went into another room to have a shower. All the boys have little d!cks about 3 inches long and I have one about 6 inches long is that because I am a biddleonian?"

His dad said "No son, that is because all the other kids a 6 and you are 16 you wanker."

its taken sooooo long.. I read where there were more than one or two brothels involved...and many visits..many with cash...withdrawn on the credit cards..

one wonders how many man hours have gone into this..and dare I say it.. he should repay the taxpayer.. if he is found guilty of using Union funds to fund his campaign to get into govt...

he got there by stealing... not on in my book.

Kathy Jackson to be vindicated. Thomson 2 B charge

If you can believe the information supplied about either then Jackson looks at least as dirty as Thomson, maybe worse.

Kathy Jackson in so a member of parliament..


nothing could be worse than an MP stealing to get into parliament..

but I am sure you will look really hard to find something..anything to make him look better than the lowest form of life.

you don't look at things much do you cods

this is a bit from Alan Jones greatest Hits

http://www.ozpolitic.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1350767031

have a look at the bits in red and those are links back to other web site to back up the argument


Quote:

“Cash for comment” Between 1999 and 2000, the Cash for comment investigation was conducted. Jones had been accused of contracting to have personal commercial support in exchange for favourable “unscripted” comments, principally for Telstra and Qantas, during his radio show. The independent Australian Broadcasting Corporation TV show, Media Watch, was heavily involved in exposing these practices. The Australian Broadcasting Authority finally decided that disclosure had to be made, hence the “Commercial Agreement Register” at the Jones portion of his station’s web site. (Jones was investigated along with John Laws from 2UE.)…….  Appendix to Cash for Comment - Impartiality of Flint In April 2004, another scandal broke after it was revealed the Chairman of the Australian Broadcasting Authority, David Flint, who had headed the Cash for comment inquiries, had sent a stream of admiring letters to Alan Jones.This called into question the impartiality of Flint, and the then Federal Minister for Communications, Daryl Williams, was embroiled in media speculation as to the future of Flint. With an inquiry imminent, Flint resigned. In an appearance on the ABC Enough Rope, John Laws accused Jones of placing pressure on Prime Minister John Howard to keep Flint as head of the ABA, made comments that many viewers took to imply a sexual relationship between Jones and Flint and broadly hinted that Jones was homosexual like Flint, who is openly gay. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=cNtwR-_Yh1Y

People should get the benifit of the doubt for as long as is reasonable. Remember 3 or 4 investigations with no charges and only ongoing because the Liberals kept digging it up even when the ploice were saying that it was dead.

Waiting for the damaged fair work investigation to complete was only reasonable. She did need some reason to take action.

excuses excuses excuse.

sorry dna.. I cant believe the lengths you go to to excuse this govts behaviour..

she supported him for over 12 months.. during that time they managed to promote the man that was overseeing the investigation into THOMO so it was all stalled..

by the time this started to get into the media..it was all ready in the FWA hands for many many months..

it wasnt 3 or 4 investigations.. it was one.. into misusing union funds..... Kathy Jackson was advised to give her suspicions.to FWA...



yes I am sure you would LOVE this to die and just go away..no one from the right is surprised at that dna...it must be a real salt in the wound for you everytime you see a new thread..

suck it up sunshine.. its going to get wors.e.


good on the libs.. you never give them credit for anything... this time hopfully it will be those union members... you know the ones the people you dont care about...[as you would wish this would die... bugger those libs]

get the money back... money they worked for and didnt intend to buy houses or pay for brothel visits...sorry us libs are such bad people.
