    Really?
    Shocked???
    Why?????
    As a union official he was just in training to be a labour politician with his snout (or other bits) in the trough (or other bits).
    Mind you, the other side is no better.
    The gullible constituents really do deserve the politicians they vote for.
    Crap candidates, crap policies to suck 'em in, then bend 'em over the pork barrel....

    the only shock will be how lite the sentence is... he will proberly get some form of compo for the stress the whole process has put him thru.


    If it was any normal worker that done it , it would be throw away the key.


    Cheers Ean

    No to mention if it was a tax fraud, he will get it easy because was money from the union
    How many politicians, federal and state from both parties are in trouble in the last 12 months?
    Obeid and Hartcher amongst former Labor and Liberal ministers to be called before new ICAC inquiries

    Are any in trouble from Vic, Qld or the other states?

    They should be send the to Italy or Russia to learn how to be a politician and not be mixed with corruption ....................

    Was interesting that the beak (judge) decreed that it was ok that Mr Thompson charged x-rated videos on his union credit card as legit business / union expense.
    Guess it confirms that Craig might be a ******.

    So the issue was did the union have rules in place to outlaw what Thompson did? He claimed his actions were approved, but the judge said not on $20k of charges. So the penalty will relate to the $20k amount, I guess.

    I've found this whole saga rather comical to be honest. When he pleaded 'not guilty' to all counts I was hysterical but it was clear (to me at least?) he is guilty as sin from the start!

    But ask yourself this ... Is he the only union official doing this? I doubt it, even if not to the same extent ($20k seems to be the 'benchmark') could it have anything to do with his shift into politics? Given how unstable it all was (is?) it seems likely the politics thing had something to do with him being caught - even if it was for the sake of a good news story. Read into that however deep you please.

    I think he's completely guilty and I believe the sentence handed down to him will probably be rather light for my liking ... but I also believe if anyone scratched the surface a bit harder they would find he was/is not the only union official with a lot to answer for. The difference is he was daft enough to go waaaay over the top.

    ............ reading between the lines of course
