SM is terribly concerned bout union business, when it suites of course.
Thompson has just endured his tenth inquiry into this conspiracy theory.
Isn't it only fare that the man walks free. You can only have three goes at hanging someone.
Slippers charges have moved the posts several times.
Gillard is far to smart for the noalition lot.
No doubt Abbott's sex charges are being looked into, just to make sure nothing was overlooked.
The worst opposition in history, filthy, scumbags, if there is a politician amongst them, it certainly doesn't show

Right you are SM. I wondered if I'd got it right, but was just on my way out the door - took a chance of posting without checking.

Btw, I don't suppose you'd like to read all the parts of Peter Wicks' investigation on the whole HSU affair at Independent Australia. There's some pretty eye-opening stuff there. which doesn't follow that Jackson (or Thomson) is guilty, but it does indicate that this whole saga is not as cut and dried as some would have us believe.

Poirot the Wixxyleaks site does throw a different perspective on the HSU story. It is certainly complicated, one minute someone is a whistleblower then a suspect, then out of the closet come others with even more rorting. The police investigation is still pending on some of this.

I cannot comment on the AWU stuff or the PM's involvement, only to say if Wilson and co has spirited away money from union members under false pretences (as with HSU) has any of this money been returned to the members.

There is certainly a cases for much stronger audit processes for unions and Bill Shorten could use this as a foundation for change. I hope he is up for it.

I have read some of the polemics by Peter Wicks, and also some information on him:

"Peter Wicks is an ALP member, former candidate and has been in regular close contact with Craig Thomson and with other ALP members. He claims to be a possible future candidate for the ALP. He refers to himself as an investigative blogger."

This "investigation" by PW has revealed no new information. It purely provides commentary with "questions" to try and show that CT was set up.

Poirot, trying to present this as "revealing" is a joke.

Years away from any possible outcome, if then. With documentation being lost, outcomes could be circumstantial.
Jackson appears a nasty piece of work, not my type of female.
The case was clean cut by the noalition, no further investigation was necessary. Thomson was to be removed, 100% political agenda.
Shows the depth the noalition camp will go to, to achieve Tony Abbott's dream of becoming, the first clown prime minister in history.
Such was the urgency, they forgot the bigger picture, and now has fizzled to a witch-hunt.
The same tactics was applied to Gillard, which failed dismally.
All of this makes the noalition look like a rag bag team of no policy, win at any cost, amateurs.

Fair enough, SM : )

"...no new information..."

"...commentary with "questions"..." (Nice rhetorical slant)

It was a bit fanciful of me to think that you might perhaps be capable of looking outside the neatly constructed coalition box.

As you were.
