FN: " Forget the evidence is flimsy and the charges have been overplayed an exaggerated by most news sources for the past 2 years, or the fact that he has proved he was not int he state on the dates of the so called brothel visits."
What codswallop FN, Thomson is facing 11 counts of theft, 31 counts of obtaining property by deception and 131 counts of obtaining financial property by deception. There is civil action initiated by FWA, and Federal court action for fraud.
FN: " Forget the evidence is flimsy and the charges have been overplayed an exaggerated by most news sources for the past 2 years, or the fact that he has proved he was not int he state on the dates of the so called brothel visits."
Forgetting that a Federal Court judge has already decided that their is also, prima facie, a case to answer regarding criminal charges (fraud) in the Federal Court.
Forgetting that Thompson dropped a defamation case against Fairfax Media, for suggesting he used union funds to pay for prostitutes when they indicated that they had evidence and were prepared for the litigation.
Forgetting that Thompson later falsely claimed to FWA that Fairfax had agreed to settle the case because its handwriting expert had concluded ''the signatures on the credit card forms [for brothel receipts] were forged''.
Forgetting that Fairfax said the claim were false and deliberately misleading, and demanded that Thompson correct the statements he gave to FWA.
''Despite the clear representation made by you that Fairfax had made a payment to you … it was in fact you that paid Fairfax the sum of $240,000,''
Forgetting that Thomson agreed to the Fairfax demands.
FN: "The office manager should have made sure any personal expenses accrued at service stations etc. were paid back"
Service station is an interesting term for a brothel, but apt!
