Poirot,

You have a selective memory, KPMG, in finding the report flawed said that there were a number of incidents that had not been investigated sufficiently, but that they did not disagree with the conclusions drawn.

i.e. there should have been further investigations into more activities.

You're the one with the selective memory, SM.

From the ABC news report:

"The report by accounting firm KPMG says Fair Work Australia was not experienced in the conduct of investigations, was deficient in its planning, management and execution of the investigation, and there were no qualified or experienced investigators involved.

It also says that Fair Work failed to consider all sources of information which could have led to additional lines of inquiry, and security arrangements over documents were inadequate."

Sounds competent - not....

FWA commenced proceedings in the Federal Court on Monday against Mr Thomson, who has been accused of using the Health Services Union credit card for personal purchases, including prostitutes, while he was the union's national secretary between 2002 and 2007.

FWA general manager Bernadette O'Neill confirmed the statement of claim lodged in the court was based largely on the findings of a three-year investigation that was concluded this year but said it included several additional allegations.

Ms O'Neill said the claim included 37 alleged breaches of general duties by officers of registered organisations and 25 alleged breaches of HSU rules.

SM has no memory, his task is to turn every thing on its head and claim white is black sky is down and Abbott is human.

Here we go again, 'Mr Wiggle-Waggle' (aka OLO's Shadow Minister) making unsubstantiated assertions:

>> Thomson is a crook <<

Maybe he is, maybe he isn't ... yet to be proven one way or the other, in the Court.

Seems 'Mr Wiggle-Waggle' could be in contempt of court for publishing his assertion - guilty until proven innocent.

Seems 'Mr Wiggle-Waggle' doesn't understand subjudice law either, not surprised.

I seem to recolect that the FWA organisation was going to turn the
evidence over to a legal firm to prepare the case.

It was suggested today that the case may fail because of statute of limitations.
If it does that will be a shocking scandal.
