Meanwhile that very much defended (here) union loving union funds spending upon "union matters" convicted criminal Thomson, is about to be sentenced. I do not think he will receive hard time, he would probably enjoy that.

he's a minor offender by comparison , regardless of that you seem obsessed with him. a lot of the defense of thomson (here , me) had that in mind when the claims that he stole half a million or so when it was $6200 dollars. his election campaign was funded by the hsu you say ? yes i know that. sinodinis and co donated how much to the LNP to acquire a senate spot ?

Actually LL he is a convicted felon who was much defended by some here, and in law a minor offence is called a misdemeanor or summary offence, Thomson was prosecuted and found guilty of criminal offences.
LL" .... a lot of the defense of thomson (here , me) had that in mind when the claims that he stole half a million or so when it was $6200 dollars."
Strange that LL,($6200), as Thompson's lawyer Greg James, QC, recently stated:
March 19, 2014
Mr James said Thomson had agreed to repay the HSU the $24,538.42 he embezzled with union-issued credit cards
Anybody allegedly guilty of corruption or fraud should certainly be held accountable within the law, so far Sinodinos is "guilty" of "that he would have ''enjoyed a $10 or $20 million payday if Australian Water had won a lucrative government contract." Note the "would have" and "if" and that the contract did not eventuate. Reminds me a little of: "if ifs and ands were pots and pans, there'd be no work for tinkers' hands"
The ICAC will examine all aspects of the events free from the baying of a (biased?) lynch mob, and eventually produce results based upon facts. Meanwhile remember Thompson is a convicted criminal, Sinodinos only "would have been, if".grist for the pink millers.

i know he took out a mortgage to pay that amount back, but he was convicted on $6200 worth in terms of his case. why the difference i'm unsure.. it certainly looks petty when viewed in light of Str Sinodinos likely payday of $10-20 million though doesn't it ?

You've got to understand the thinking of the current mob.
If you rip off $20B it's all for the common good because you can spend about 1% of that by hiring someone to wash your car and clean your toilet then they can buy a meal or two which helps the local supermarket and water company plus it reduces a couple of dole payments for a few weeks.

Now hang on you two, presumption of innocence must apply
A presumption that was in very short supply when Labor party connections were accused of various corrupt activities.
It will be interesting to see how this pans out - a serious test of abbott's commitment to a code of conduct for his Ministers.
Although I'm not holding my breath - after all, the adults are back in charge, and they are open for business *cough*

Didn't he already do away with the code of conduct?
After all, the virtuous Libs don't need any code of conduct as they honest and virtuous by way of their superior DNA with an inbuilt honour gene. It's only Labor and greens who are afflicted with DNA that causes them to need constant scrutiny.

An other very good reason why water should not be given to the private sector to be traded around solely for the purpose of creating a profit.
