The tears were BS.  He was actually showing disgust on his face at the time which would indicate disgust at his behaviour as opposed to anger at what had occurred.

I think he believes the story though.   :cup:

Whilst I personally think he is lying through his teeth but he is innocent till proven guilty. He will have his day in court to prove his so called innocence. This is trial by media and not nessesarily fact......

True, but we only hear what the media want us to hear. The power of the media is very strong and with what happened in the UK with News of the World, nothing would surprise me. The older I get the more cynical I become......:-)

We're all disgusted because deep down we KNOW he will get away with it.

He won't do time and he won't have to pay pack a cent. At worst he'll have a to wait a year or two before getting another government job.

I tend to agree with you Teabag, but to have his day in Court he has to be charged with something but his may never happen, or it may be delayed to the point where, for the most part,  it becomes irrelevant. Two States are investigating but no charges yet.  Fair Work Australia should have turned this investigation over to Police long ago.

 :laugh:

Question on Q&A last night to a CIA whistle blower and advocate against 'enhanced' interrogation techniques : "Do you reckon you'd be able to get the truth out of Craig Thompson?". Wrong but funny.

Also on the show was a Russian writer/dissident who talked about life under a Putin dictatorship. She was amazed at the big deal that was being made out of a relatively small issue. She said that in Russia being elected to public office meant that you no longer needed to be accountable for your actions, whereas here a speeding ticket is enough to bring you unstuck. She also said how envious she was of such a clearly healthy democracy where a politician was obliged to stand up in front of the country and explain his actions (no matter how poorly).

So to the people thinking that an unethical politician, or a disputed (by some) election means that our political system is f$%ed, wake up to yourselves. The shock jocks and deliberately divisive elements of the media would like everyone to believe that the country is going to hell in a hand basket (ratings), but the truth is we live in one of most stable and healthy democracies in the world. The whole debate over Craig Thompson is simply a sign that things are going well. If he's found guilty he should go to jail with the other thieves, no question (and maybe a couple of other squeaky clean HSU high ups as well).

I'm not saying that things are perfect. Just saying that I think that calling the whole democratic process into question over one d@%khead is over the top.

Bugger, I was just acknowledging Dazzlers escort joke and had to shoot my mouth off  ;D
