Poirot,

Once again you prefer to cherry pick from the KPMG report (with a sprinkling of conspiracy theory), quite happy to ignore that irrespective of the deficiencies in the investigation, KPMG determined that there was sufficient evidence to substantially support the conclusions that were reached in the report.

Thomson has been investigated by the appropriate judicial body and found guilty of corruption. I believe them and KPMG. You choose to be ignorant because it supports your partisan stand.

Belly,

You seem to want to push insulting me further and further, But now you are simply lying again.

SM said:

"...KPMG determined there was sufficient evidence to substantially support the conclusions reached in the report."

Oh really?

May I direct you to the official KPMG review of FWA's HSU investigation - to the paragraph at the conclusion of the section titled: "Objectives and scope of this review".

"The scope of work for Phase 1 and Phase 2 was restricted to a review of the process followed by FWA in undertaking their investigation of the matters and specifically did not include the re-performance of any part of the investigations or the evaluation of evidence presented in support of the findings made in the HSU investigation reports."

You make it up as you go along, SM

I have re read the thread.
Doing so asks me more questions than it gives answers.
The filth, mixed with the just wrong.
As I person who has a vital interest in this uncovering of crime and corruption in the NSW ALP, off just years ago.
I just can not avoid a truth.
My ALP my lifes love the Trade Union movement, *have not yet* addressed the issue.
A seeming determination exists to say not me mate.
But *NO ONE, IN BOTH MOVEMENTS* can say they did not know.
IF as I expect, Abbott goes pre election, and IF Liberals pick a winner, not second best, Turnbull, Labors whole future will be a very long very tough enforced reform.
I think this country, is suffering from far more than a hung Parliament.
Labor is intent on saving its legislation.
Liberals and their dog Nats?
On seeing how bad an opposition can get.
I hope to be here this time next year.
And to be helping rebuild the wreckage of Gillards folly.
To hope NSW filth are broke and in prison,[that never happens power wins not justice.
I hope, gee beg, those in the house/power brokers who dumped Rudd are not leading the rebuilding.

This *Abbott Defense*
May suit another known around here.
But in my view it confirms my last post here.
We either want honerty from both sides or we deserve nothing.

Good one, Belly.

Here we go again. Mr Abbott doesn't read the judgment, yet makes a comment on Brough's behaviour. (reminds one of the Leigh Sales interview over the carbon tax)

"Mal's a friend of mine"...

He's confident that he "acted rightly at all times"

According to the judgment, Brough didn't act rightly at all.

Notwithstanding Mr Abbott is overseas, if he's going to comment on the subject, it is incumbent upon him to make himself aware of the judgment.

Incompetence once more.

Poirot,

I was forced to go back and review my quote, and I apologise and eat crow, being short of time and skimming a commentary, I remarked on what I thought was except from the report, but was actually from the commentary.

However, It is also true that while the report criticised the methodology of the investigation it did not criticise any of the evidence collected, or the conclusions. In short, there was nothing in the KPMG review to conclude that there was not sufficient evidence to prosecute Thomson.
