Hi 579,

Don't you think you are pre-judging the Noalition somewhat ?

And the noun derived from 'pre-judging' is .... ?

I think it's 'prejudice'.

'By fair means or foul' ? Which do you think it might be in this case, in relation to the government's response ?

Who wants this matter expedited ? Who wants it delayed ?

Who wants it sorted ? Who wants it buried ?

Cheers,

Joe

Joe you are putting in words that do not exist.
Every one wants this cleared up one way or the other.
How do you tell an independent body what to do, if you can do that you may as well tell them the expected verdict.
Tony, has been pushing for just that, for months.
The noalition already have the noos around his neck, but they don't know what for.
The ## union have been suspended, pending further outcome.
Thompson says he is innocent, and putting it to the DPP suggests he could be right, or it's not that clear cut.
Because someone has your credit card, and drivers license for ID, doesn't make you guilty of what this particular investigation was about.

Hi 579,

As you write,

"Because someone has your credit card, and drivers license for ID, doesn't make you guilty of what this particular investigation was about."

Exactly ! If I thought some b@stard, who looked the spitting image of me, and had stolen my credit card AND my driver's licence out of my house while I was out getting a carton of milk, rushed off to some brothel, found relief and THEN paid for it all with MY credit card, showing MY driver's licence as proof of identity, THEN rushed back to my place before I came home and put my credit card and driver's licence back where he had found it - I would be pretty pissed off too. I would be wanting to speed up this whole circus, to prove my obvious innocence.

My heart goes out to Craig Thomson, so maligned without the slightest shred of evidence, except for this 'spitting image' thing. And the credit card thing. And the driver's licence thing too. Such bad luck, such an obvious case of mistaken identity.

And, I agree, isn't it all obvious that the Noalition have cooked all of this up ? I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out that THEY hired some look-alike thief to frame poor Craig Thomson. That makes so much sense ......

Cheers,

Joe

If I have to go to court I would be praying like mad that 579 is the judge. Then again I think their are many judges already that allow the guilty off unless its a politically sensitive issue.

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

Is this an example of the sort of stupid ideas circulating the Barossa Valley, that compells this Sunday Mail crackpot poster to inflict her ultra-biased feminazi greenie ideas on this forum?

Dear Joe (Loudmouth),

I don't have the answers for you regarding
Craig Thomson and all any of us can do
is speculate. Some day, I dare say the
truth will finally come out - as it did
with AWB and Tampa and quite a few others.
In the case of Mr Thomson - I think it
doesn't matter to some people the guilt or
innocence of Mr Thomson. What matters is that
the issue can be used as a bludgeon with which
to renew the attack on the current government -
and the PM's character.
