Dear SM,

Please explain just how Mr Brandis is exposing
corruption? To what information does he have
access that nobody else does? We're simply
under the impression that Mr Brandis is going
in, boots and all, - with very little evidence
as yet - unless of course one counts conjecture,
and speculation. I am full aware of the role of
the Opposition in Parliament. But this doesn't
exclude politicians from behaving in a civil
manner. And currently he appears to be behaving
like a thug. Which as I stated earlier - is a
shame for such a legal mind as his.

Lexi,

Labor, and its union buddies in the FWA were desperately trying to bury the issue, and I believe that with out Brandis's activism FWA would have never finished their investigation. Brandis has simply shown persistence as did Bernie Banton.

Corruption flourishes in the dark, and Brandis has simply kept the light firmly focussed. There now appears to be some indication that Williamson and Thomson will get the justice they deserve. That Williamson is still being paid $300 000 p.a. from union dues is disgusting.

If you are trying to claim that there is little evidence then you are extremely naive.

This is a wider issue than Thompson, He may not get a mention, Williamson, is still getting payd, because as yet he is still innocent.
Some say they are all guilty, but they don't know what of.
Thompson was expecting it cleared up last week, from the FWA.
Abbott has gone cool on the outcome.
It is not a one man enquiry like he was expecting.
The mad monk has come unstuck before believing what he reads in papers.

You're right, 579,

As long as there hasn't been a trial, Thomson can't be said to be guilty. But as long as there hasn't bee na trial, he hasn't been found not guilty, innocent, either. A trial would clear hus name if he were innocent.

As long as the FWA f@rts around, Thomson can't clear his name. He deserves his day in court. How can the process be expedited ? Nobody is saying 'interference', merely expediting the process. Three years is far too long already.

Cheers,

Joe

Lexi said speaking of Sen Brandis;
And currently he appears to be behaving
like a thug.
>
Really ? He was quite measured in what he said and made suggestions on
How the FWA could have a brief prepared for submission to the DPP.

Lexi, you are destroying your own credibility with statements like that.
It was simply untrue !

And how does Brandis know that. If a brief was that easy, that is what would have been done.
To give all papers of the enquiries to the DPP, suggests a brief of wrongdoings may be very obscure if any.
To give instructions from the sidelines of a confidential process, is somewhat naive.
The DPP will or won't allow a court process to take place, it will only occur if there is sufficient evidence, to proceed.
And if it does proceed it has to be strong enough that a counter court action will not discredit the evidence.
