Given that Julia Gillard expressed full confidence in Craig Thomson and Williamson in Parliament, perhaps she should apologise to the Australian public for deliberately misleading them.

And the beat goes on.....

SOG,

Great concept. The ALP is a conga line of corruption.

One two three Crook, one two three Crook,

The beat goes on.

I have waited for this, even knew the author.
Yesterday I thought I would post two threads.
Trying to open the forum to new things.
Most know I am ALP, ex union official, intense disliker of Gillard, those who put her there and keep her there.
I put the first two threads about the HSU, its blight on the Union movement.
I nearly put the same thoughts in a thread about the ONE MILLION ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS!
Spent on a mansion for? a working class electrical trades union head!
Scum, both lots.
Do readers know how ever? Craig Thomson was in Parliament, long before Williamson's crimes?
OH he may be guilty, may yet be imprisoned, but no charges are yet laid.
This week, a Liberal senator, faced her second case of shop lifting, SM ignores such.
Convincing the welded on anti Labor voters, Alan Jones style screaming, is counter productive.
The Boy who cried wolf, Abbott and his crew, has lost those who wish to hear from outside the carnival tent.
Conservative politics has become.

Belly,

OK, Comparisons of the litany of crooked Labor MPs with MJF is asking for a hiding.

MJF was first charged and found not guilty of shop lifting, when she was charged again, she was forced to resign. In this time she received no protection from the liberal party, and at best a no comment.

In the last few years we have on the Labor side:
One NSW jailed for paedophilia,
Two NSW MPs referred to ASIC for fraud
Wollongong Labor council disbanded and some jailed for rampant corruption,
SA MP charged for child porn,
ALP president charged for massive fraud and hindering the police investigation.
Thomson's litany of crimes laid bare in the FWA report.
Labor's Speaker implicated in sexual harassment and fraud.

The Labor party response is not to let the law take its course, but in almost every case to attack whistle blowers, to support the defendant to the hilt, to provide money to the offender etc.

SM depending on the time frame you missed a couple in Qld but to be fair its my impression that a most of the allegations around Slipper relate to a period when he was a lib.
