Student history......
Mr Thomson has been under pressure over allegations he misused a union credit card while national secretary of the Health Services Union.
He has been accused of rorting more than $100,000 of members' funds by using the card for cash advances, high living and prostitutes.
Mr Thomson denies all allegations against him.
The Opposition has pursued the allegations vigorously in parliament, while Mr Thomson is currently being investigated by Fair Work Australia, as well as New South Wales and Victorian police.
Fair Work Australia released a report on alleged rorts in the HSU's Victorian branch.
A second report into matters concerning Mr Thomson's NSW branch is yet to be released.

I think he should be denied a pairing vote, at least until the second report has been released re- corruption allegations.
Sorry, but a sore tummy just doesn't cut it I'm afraid.
Ex Union Doctor is it?

Thompson does look like a little kid hiding behind a sore stomach to get out of answering the hard questions. The whole saga is a big joke and only politicians and toddlers can get away with avoiding accountability.
How do we get such weak, dishonest and stupid people in our government? It obviously doesn't take brains or integrity to become a politician.

I'm sure you can't make it in politics if you're weak and stupid but I also have no doubt that honesty and integrity are liabilities for a political career.
You vote, you lose!

It's the Gillard way.
And behind every man is a woman, so can blame Australia's First Bozo (Timmy the eunich) for all of Gillards actions

Women...if they had brains they'd be men

Or in Gillards case, inaction perhaps?

.... Is that what that fuzz is around Gillards mouth, and here I was thinking it was post-menopausal stubble.
