Tripe
The front bar of the Pig’s Arms was abuzz with the news that one of Rosie’s[1] girls had “come forward” with revealing and damning evidence relating to the Thompsen affair.[2]
A Mr Thompsen was a regular visitor to Rosie’s back room and was known to request the services of a Hooker.
John Lee Hooker
Miss Letoe is reported by usually ultra-reliable news sauces to have said that Mr Thompsen was often seen to “get it on” and “rock his socks off” in the company of another Hooker.
He seemed to prefer slide and sometimes bottleneck and was often participating in what he referred to as “walking bass” activities of an unspecified nature.
“Most of our ‘Johns’ – referring to their fondness for working with known recalcitrants loosely known as “John Thomas” – came in straight off the street but we bend them to our better purposes and send them slip-sliding away. Short a little bit – and also short of their cash” said Miss Letoe, smiling sweetly.
“But this dude was different. He was a no-cash, credit-card wielding man whose face revealed a worldliness beyond his years. He must have been an old single guy – he was into the Grecian 2000 – more like 2020. And no way could he have been married – I mean only a total dickwad married bloke would use a credit card to buy a hooker. I mean, who else would go through his papers except his wife ?”
When asked how he came to Rosie’s, Miss Letoe corrected the reporter from news saying “No, he comes after he arrives – usually in a taxi. I know I picked up the cabcharge chits when I was ironing his trousers”.
“And what line of business do you think Mr Thompsen was in ?”.
“He was in the art business. He was always banging on about being framed and stuff, but if you ask me – and I gather you ARE asking me, I personally think he was as innocent as the driven snow. I mean he was often saying that his friends in some nursing operation didn’t have a prayer”.
“He seemed to be a man of simple tastes – he brought the hotdog and we brought the buns”, said Miss Letoe.
“So what do you make of all the parliamentary allegations circulating ?”
“I think they’re mostly tripe” said Miss Letoe.
“So HSU has no resonance for you ?”
“Sure, I seem to recall that he is a card-carrying member of the Highly-Sexed Ungulates”.
“Bull !”
“Precisely”

Increase GST to 23%
Reduce company and personal tax
Spend the GST collected on education & some of the infrastructure that you bleat about.
Reduce the GST for pensioners and children. Also for basic ‘uncooked’ foodstuffs, for families.
When you make it easier for bushinesses, you create employment. Those workers can then feed their families and go to the hairdressers. The hairdresser will charge 23% GST. However the poor go less frequently – so the wealthy will be shelling out treble.
We are murdering our businesses, instead of nurturing them. I read an article this morning about all the red tape and PC stuff that has accumulated in the last 4 years. It’s comittee stuf and time wasting. Quangos and fu**en “stuff”.

Good lord VL – increasing GST hurts the poor more and will do nothing for any kind of business – so la la land. Both Libs and Labor have reduced personal income taxes regularly and the latest proposed reduction just for business is opposed by the Lib/Nats ! The GST has to be given to the States as Howard designed it and it went with no strings attached. It proposed gets spent on everything. There is no GST on fresh food. You can’t reduce it for pensioners and children – la la land.
How do you know the poor go to hairdressers less often – strange assumption. You do realise that the GST imposed a lot more paper work for business. You get paper work from local govt, state govt and federal govt. It is not all federal govt.
Have another go. What you write on the Drum is even less enlightening.

While I am at it – I don’t ‘bleat’ about spending on infrastructure and education. I criticised and reminded anyone that under Howard infrastructure was ignored and education funding cut. I remind people that Labor is doing what was ignored for nearly 12 years under Howard. You could try to see that your take on most anything is wrong in its basis to start with. It was Labor under Hawke/Keating who first made real personal income tax reductions. People who were considered high income earners had become average and yet were still paying 60% on their top bracket. The biggest reductions were all done by Labor who also were the first to reduce company taxes.

Your post sums up your attitude. “The GST will hurt the poor”
With 23-25%, it will need to be cheaper for pensioners. That’s easy – they have a card.
You should travel more. The Scandinavian countries have high GST and better education.
So the poor have their hair done 3 times wekk. No wonder they’re effing poor!
The income (tax) from GST will compensate for the reduction in business (EMPLOYERS) rates.
New Zealand 15% China 17%, Brazil has 3 rates, PPoland (the new powerhouse of Europe – look it up), 23 %. Germany 19%

But when asked about the carbon tax and if households and businesses were compensated for with the moneys collected the numbers went to 62-27 in favour. Come July 1 when the sky doesn’t fall in and the world is no different to the day before, then people might just wake up to fraud that Abbott and his band really are.

Another thing that came out this morning was that those polled there was an 80% chance that the Liberal party would win the next election and a 20% chance that Labor would. The caveat though was that the Liberal shouldn’t think that they have just got this next election in the bag in the same way that the Labor party shouldn’t think they’ve already lost it. Quoting John Howard they said, there’s no such thing as an unwinnable election or an unlosable election.

It is not unknown for individuals in telecommunications companies to fiddle the books, fiddle the system, fiddle with a bill, fidde with someone’s phone.. politicians fiddling or otherwise with themselves aside.
It bothers me that, regardless, the arguement rages whether he is or is not guilty polarised around assertions suggesting people’s brains stop before the appeal of a political party.
It is very much worrying no credence is paid the topic of corruption that indisputably is framing, alive and thriving in our system, and it takes so many forms, some legalised in crime solving and interrogation and torture documents.
It bothers me appearance is of entire intellectual depravity, which is to not take it on board that this can happen, aside from what might have been immediately or otherwise done about the situation and one of the issues I have become aware of is that working people who have more money than brains do not check their accounts, their bank statements and/or read their bills. A large number in fact do not know how to read and interpret their bills.
I fear most that the reason framing itself is either discounted or sneered at as a possibility is simple, because it happens. People get framed. So many ways to do it. I count not responding as one of the ways it can be done, not talking to a mark, not answering in a timely way, not evidencing intention, which could be a suspicion levelled at the time Fair Work Australia has taken to write a flawed report, which affects all of us.
It happens at various levels in most bureacracies and the moment we get near the subject our insider knowledge prickles us; we really don’t want the story about a rort of the sort to be provoked, or ‘this’ or that rort, or some other.damned rort. EG the time Joe Citizen pinched the envelopes out of the stationery cupboard included, or approached me as a newcomer imagining I have total rocks in my head and suggested if I wanted envelopes to take some ‘nobody will know’.
What an evil society and system that people are not addressing these issues across the board. If someone clambers into your garden and frightens you in pursuit of a news story and then you cry because you/your pregnant wife knows or imagines a reporter is under the bathroom window while you’re pregnant wife is having a shower, a nation sniggers or ignore it!???
We no more know than we know Craig Thompson if he himself made those calls or used that card and Fair Work Australia would have been smart to write it so, to effect that calls were made from his telephone number and by the same token, that the credit card was used. I would have a great deal more respect than I do for the author of the Fair Work Australia report in view of the time the report has taken but particularly its ingenuous or deliberated/ careless wording that may yet be its undoing, again aside the man is guilty or not guilty.
We have substantially more issues to focus on than categorically whether Craig Thompson is guilty or not … and it might still be established that ironically ‘only a total dickwad married bloke would use a credit card’, to quote the amusing essay by Therese above, to buy the services of a sex worker.

“Tell me why The secretary of the HSU is represented by the same law firm as Ashby,”???
I don’t know, however it is likely that they specialise in that area. It’s not uncommon to go to a lawyer that has expertise in a certain field.
I don’t have any time for Ashby..He’s a wanker (pun intended).
As far as I’m concerned although the charge of sexual harassment is (these PC days) deemed serious these days. (Sigh..gone are the days of a bonk in the stationary cupboard)….I am not bothered if he sits in the chair wearing silk knickers.
No! MY beef, (excuse accidental pun) is that he cheated on cab fares (larceny), and should wait till the police conclude what he did with “OUR” money.
In Thomson’s case Fair Work Australia. have announced that they ‘ARE’ bringing charges. Two different states of play.
Slipper’s: still to be investigated. However he very correctly stood down (pending) from one of the highest offices in the land!
Thomson’s: four years, with a conclusion and more revelations everyday.
You seem obsessed with The Boot. He’s just doing his job. And very well, judging by your simmering angst. Careful Algy, you’ll get hives.

I meant to write, that Slipper has stood down pending a Federal Police enquiry.

The lawyers are Liberal party lawyers so I suppose they have expertise in the Liberal party.
And I agree with you on the larceny charges, but they have to be tested in a court, that in both cases is my argument.
And my beef about Adolf is that he is pulling the strings with the poodle doing all the dirty work aided and abetted by the press. His only desire from all of this is to be the PM and he couldn’t give a damn how he gets there, he doesn’t care is someone kills themselves. He doesn’t care if anyone is innocent or not. He doesn’t even want scrutiny because if he did there’s nothing there. He is completely unfit for the role.

Craig Thomson, apparently, has been spending union dues for 9 years.
I have tried, but failed to see how it is anything to do with the opposition!
The country is up-in-arms about it. The Boot’s just venting/reflecting ‘our’* feelings.
*The majority of level headed Australians.
PS.You and I are on different wavelengths here Algy. We’re wasting each other’s time.
Whatever you thing of The Boot. Thomson’s behaviour is to blame. Compounded by Albanese and Gillard’s heartless refusal to let the poor bastard resign.

Didn’t say boo until the hung parliament VL then TA made it a political football out of it. Just like slipper who he evenwrote a glowing reference for. I think you’ll find most level headed Australians respect the rule of law.
Actually the country is sick of the media polluting their pages with this. There are more important things to be worryiing about than Thomson. When the media pay some hooker $60k to say that she had met him what creditablity is there. I think if you look hard and beyond your bias on this most level headed Australians have a different point of view to you. and are more interested in other things.

To be quite honest Therese… I don’t quite know what to make of this whole sad affair. The hooker was also a wonderful guitarist who should never have been working the streets; as for Thompson, he looks guilty as hell trying to say his mates in the union framed him now… Riiiiiiiiight! Now I’m not saying nobody EVER gets framed… but…
Of course, this fiasco also opens up a whole ‘nother can of worms by begging the question: “Just exactly how widespread were such practices as those of Mr Thompson?” It’s gotta happen; I guess they’re just waiting for a slow news day… Hope Mr Abbott et al don’t hang out in the front bar…

Rubbish – you say that only because of nature of the hung parliament. The FWA report may seem right but I don’t know if they did enough research and digging. It would require a skilled auditor to uncover a lot of the financial side of things. I believe it needs more investigation.

I think he has questions to answer vivenne, and a court is the proper place to do this. Not that the Nazis think this they’d be happy if he topped himself. There is truth in what he said though; Adolf is not fit to even be an MP. The parliament is not a star chamber.
I suspect that his accusation about a TV channel hovering outside a bathroom window is more than likely true, the spokesman for the channel is a convicted and jailed alcoholic who thinks nothing of driving whilst pissed. The HSU secretary is a personal friend of Tony Abbott as is his partner, who is 2ic at FWA. She is also being represented by the same law firm as Ashby. I really hope this blows up in the Nazis faces big time.
I saw that Costello had a piece in the Herald today, it was rubbish really, however he spoke of Nick Sherry who had is reputation trashed by the Liberal party and Costello the chief protagonist. He talked of how Sherry self harmed as a result but of course he took no responsibility for it, bloody hypocrite.
