"According to your way of thinking, Hitler is innocent."

And on a local scale Joh Bjelki-Petersen and Russ Hinze were never convicted. Joh went to trial and was acquitted, Russ didn't live long enough to face trial so we'll never know.

Now I wonder how many who make a point of the lack of a conviction regarding Craig Thomson's innocence are as particular when they hear of Joh or Russ accused of being corrupt.

In a legal sense they were both innocent, I suspect that a lot of people believe otherwise.

There does seem to be a lot of stalling, bumbling and secrecy in this instance. Regardless of the truth of Thomson's innocence or otherwise those who should be dealing with it don't appear to bothered by how the handling of the issue looks to the public.

Dear RObert,

I guess that's because quite a few people are so
sick and tired of the lack of diversity
in the partisan media's reportage. And such
diversity as there is runs along predictable
lines.

Craig Thomson is an innocent man being crucified by the media to suit the liberal party.

Give it a rest.

Dearest Lexi,

In that case, thank god for the media. Seriously, where would we be without it ? Warts and all ?

Let's presume from now on that Thomson is innocent, but that there are a lot of issues that have to be cleared up, that are unfairly weighing on his career.

IF he is innocent, why would the Government move so slowly to push things along ? Why isn't it coming down heavy on FWA to get its act together, prepare a proper brief or whatever, put it in the hands of the DPP and get the whole thing over with - find Thomson innocent, shove it up the Libs and move on ?

If he was innocent, wouldn't he be in a hurry to clear it all up ? Woulnd't he be a bit indignant that the authorities seem to be stuffing it all up, and mucking him around, sullying his good name in the process ?

As an innocent man, under a cloud of suspicion, Thomson should be demanding his day in court, and ASAP. Gillard should surely be impatient, even furious, at the delays, which make her government stink that little bit worse wit hevery passing day.

Questions: who seems to be wanting to delay justice in this case ? Who seems to be wanting to speed it up ?

IF Thomson is innocent, won't there be egg on Abbott's face when it all comes out ? Won't that put Senator Brandis back in his box ? Won't that be a boost in the polls for Labor ?

So why the delay ?

Love,

Joe

That has got to be in the same as putting pressure on the treasury.
Doesn't being Free of govt; mean anything, not for the noalition.
You lot want to break every rule in the book, for what.
The noalition don't have scruples, anything, by fair means or fowl, it doesn't matter.
When a body is independent it means it can not be persuaded, if it is it is corrupt.

Craig Thomson is a ripped off the HSU and his low paid members, and if he feels slighted, he is free to try and sue me. Considering that he tried to sue the SMH and got his butt kicked, I doubt he would be stupid enough to try.

The ACTU thinks he is a crook and has suspended the HSU for his corruption and because they can't stand to be tainted by his corruption.

For Juliar, ripping off the voter is par for the course.
