In typical fashion Oakeshott and Windsor state that they are appalled by the criminal activity in the HSU, and demand that Thomson make a speech to parliament.

However, I bet that when the chips are down, that neither of these neither of these self interested politicians will push for anything more than a slap on the wrist for Thomson, as anything more will see them join the unemployment queue.

Talk is cheap, but with these two, I am happy to bet that self interest trumps stated values hands down.

It's revealing to note that "implied" in your post is that Thompson is guilty. You may not be aware of this, but in this country a man is not declared guilty until a court of law convicts him. If you're not happy with this, then you are perfectly welcome to migrate to North Korea or China or maybe Cuba, where your penchant for amateur prejudgement will find a welcoming home. Oh yes, God bless Fidel.

Oops ..... "Thomson".

Good morning SM, if you are not Abbott are you his speech writer?
Spin looks same DNA.

FP72E,
Dragging out the process of convicting is in itself a crime. What really matters will this bloke if convicted still get a generous taxpayer funded superannuation ? I bet he will whilst decent people will have to go on struggling

I have to wonder if yo lot will ever stop either supporting, or making excuses for what has to be the worst government in history.

This guy has humiliated himself, with his notion that someone else used his phone, and his credit card, then, he would borrow them for permissible business, while they were not using them to order and pay for hookers etc.

Yea right, pull the other one!

In any case, there appears to be sufcient evidence to throw him out of the parliment, and not just for his vote either.
