The only relationship between the 2 cases is that both are innocent until proven guilty ...

And agree that mental health is not a laughing matter.

FWIW - Andrew Robb and Tony Abbott have both said MJF has been experiencing mental health problems and that this will be raised in her defence in court.

Thompson's defence, FWIW, relies on his assertion that the misuse of the credit card was by another person who he has not named.

While the two matters have some parallels, I'm not convinced personally that they are any more alike than apples and oranges.


sorry squawk if i offended you with describing a person with mental health as a "nutter" i have edited it out
my apologies

Well, members of the Liberal Party will stoop to any level in politics, ST. The names Godwin Grench and the ship, the Tampa ring any bells? ;)
However, in this case, I don't think there is any Liberal Party involvement. Just let him have his day in court though before running to any 'public hangings'.

What evidence, the guy hasn't even been charged with anything yet and might not be at all?

All there is to see here is one federal Liberal politician has been charged by police and the federal Labor politician hasn't. I understand the lowlife grubby game your side is playing, make the guy's life so unbearable that he resigns, forcing a by-election and the Libs might win that and possibly get into govt.

I get that's why the Right are getting so hysterically shrill at the moment (st on here, Alan Jones on Mediawatch, News Ltd apologising to PM Gillard today for Glenn Milne's low act etc) but it's dirty and pretty grubby stuff.

He should be charged surely i mean he has spent funds that were not his he has accused someone of stealing all his id his cards phone signature!! he had to get the labor party to pay his bills so he didnt go bankrupt after he dropped his defamation case against fairfax i believe,as you know if you go bankrupt you are not allowed to sit in parlamnt. He keeps saying it wasnt him who did all these things why wasnt it passed on to police that all this stuff had been stolen? Oh it got given back to him didnt it?! The list goes on and i could post plenty on here but there is no need to as his scams are splashed all over the papers everyday!

Hang on I'm talking about the real world not what you read in some paper or on Bolt's blog. As I understand it the police (with a little bit of prodding from George Brandis) are inestigating it all now to see if as in IF there is enough there to warrant charging the guy.

As has become typical amongst right-wingers on the net, they often try to leave out the Liberal politician's assault charge.

the real world you reckon well a lot of the evidence has been shown on news stations around australia the only way you wouldnt have seen it is if yv been living under a rock! Another one of labors failures has been investigating him since 2009!!! FAIR WORK AUSTRALIA! :roll: thats why the union sec has been threatened because she put him in and knows he has done the wrong thing, like she said she will be looking after her 70.000 members not gillard and her bits and pieces of a government.
