Implausible Thompson

Tony Abbott raises a fair point;

“I think it’s very hard for someone who can’t answer questions about his own credit card to credibly ask questions of the Governor of the Reserve Bank about the nation’s credit card.”

Do the ALP really believe that the public are happy with Thompson’s denials – surely not! On the face of it, the NSW and/or the Federal ALP coughed up a six figure sum to prevent Thompson being declared bankrupt which would force him vacate his position as the member for Dobel and thus bring on a bi- election that the ALP would surely loose. I can only imagine that Julia would do anything to prevent that happening including standing in front of the people and saying “He’s doing a good job” What a hide that woman has. It appears he is also involved in procuring the services of prostitutes using his Union credit card and in the face of overwhelming evidence makes barefaced denials. How can anyone think he is a worthy representative for his electorate? the ALP will be busy scurrying around briefing a battalion of lawyers with a view to stalling the legal process until the public are distracted by another huge ALP stuff-up. I just hope it doesn’t work. If we have a lying criminal stealing from his employer masquerading as a respectable politician then we need to know and if it is the case then he needs to go.
