Today at Senate Estimates, the Australian Government Solicitor confirmed that its legal bill for Fair Work Australia’s Health Services Union and Craig Thomson inquiry was $912,000 and will soon blow out beyond $1 million.

This is on top of the $100,000 FWA has paid out in accountancy fees.

Senator Abetz said that this inquiry had turned into an expensive “lawyers picnic” and Fair Work Australia needed to explain these huge taxpayer funded bills.

When Fair Work Australia appears at Senate Estimates tomorrow morning I will be pursuing this and other issues.

that doesnt include the police inquiry costs

And all they had to do was accept that like a lot of people with business credit cards Thomson used the credit card for his own use and then paid the money back but because of Abbott we've wasted more than a million dollars on it.
Good one phoney Tony

there's a corporate governance which Thompson has broken

you wouldn't know about it because you've never run a business like this before

Bill 14% is not the alcohol content of that wine. It's your poll number

Mate I have a Corporate Amex which is paid by my employer, one of the 5 biggest companies in the world.

If I had used it in this manner, I would have been dismissed without reservation.

Using a credit to withdraw cash??
One of the biggest no-no's in corporate card policy - how do you track cash??? You can't!

Then your employer is as stupid as you are. Which is a lot. My corporate Amex is my problem. If I make personal purchases on it (which I have, by mistake) then that's my problem. The company will only pay Amex for genuine expenses for which I've submitted proper invoices. The rest is between me and Amex.

If whatyoua re saying is tru (and I have my doubts) then your company is different from others. most totalyl ban the use of the corporate card for ANYTHING other than coporate business.

and it was after all $105000 for hookers and cash advances - not $36 for a meal. And the money wasnt paid back until after he left the job. There is nothing even remotely legit about this.
