My coming absence in the next few days has nothing to do with the troll.
I ask yet again who of us is more demanding of accountability and reform off both the trade union movement and the ALP? And yet again question how such a charge can be laid at my door? Even more why has no Liberal ever under taken the job of looking at his/her sides faults? Posted by Belly, Friday, 21 February 2014 6:08:19 AM

Paul,
As the saga of Craig Thomson's fraud has been going on for about 4 years, it is interesting that you have just redefined the meaning of "extensive coverage" to describe the handful of articles that the ABC has produced on this issue, less than any other news organisation in the country. Even then, the issues of Labor's involvement in paying his court costs, Gillard's fierce protection of him in and out of parliament, and the incompetence of Gillards FWA in taking 3 years to produce a piss poor report. By 2011 with the evidence in the papers it was clear that Thomson was crooked, and the question was not whether he would face court but when, and the blocking game that Juliar played to stop this happening in her term of government.

SM
I'm not going to try and defend the Labor Party in relation to the grub Thomson, their action has been disgraceful. None more than me posted material on this very forum attacking Thomson, pointing out that my involvement was personal through my partners membership of the HSU. To see the Labor Party crash and burn over Thomson would give me no end of pleasure. Having said that, I have taken a keen interest in the reporting and are completely satisfied the ABC's coverage has been both extensive and accurate, as has been the reporting in the SMH. I still spend $2.30 on the Herald everyday, could get it all for free over the net, but for some reason I feel obliged to support Sydney's only remaining quality newspaper in the face of rubbish competition from Murdoch.

Paul,
You are completely satisfied, yet cannot produce even one article from the ABC where the Labor party's support for the crook is discussed? That changes everything! Posted by Shadow Minister, Friday, 21 February 2014 11:35:33 AM

SM, another porky, if you cared to tune into the ABC the ALP/Thomson legal bill payment was extensively covered. You must get your head out of out of that Daily Telegraph fish wrapper and get with the real dinky die ABC news.
http://www.abc.net.au/news/2012-05-10/cassidy-craig-thomson-an-untenable-distraction/4003932 I quote from the above ABC online article "Two days after the budget came down, the hottest debate in the capital surrounded news that the ALP had been paying Thomson's legal bills, and that Thomson had breached his obligation to declare the interest on time." Please note the words "THE ALP HAS BEEN PAYING THOMSON'S LEGAL BILLS" SM, and you say yet (Paul1405) cannot produce even one article from the ABC where the Labor party's support for the crook is discussed? It would be man of you if you were to apologise for that 'PORKY'! Posted by Paul1405, Friday, 21 February 2014 6:36:40 PM

Is your name Garry OTB?
Do you wish to show clearly you do not understand simple things?
You have my sympathy having made such a fool out of your self with that insane claim.
Swim in the shallow end it is safer.
At least double figures off my threads damning the union movements wrongs.
And at least that many damning my ALP have seen the light of day here.
Leaving your child like charge as silly and uncalled for.
IF you have ANY regard for this site you will man up and leave me alone.
Please! face it! you are no giant intellect, your inability to see my condemnation of some on my sides is in plan sight.
We can show respect for the forum, put an end to our bickering but you too must make an effort, leave me alone.
I have no wish to talk to you on any subject, childminding was not one of my work time jobs.
