we had a Union official come to our work place the other day, TWU and not only did he have a union provided car it also had personalised number plates, which at $375 a pop in QLD and he was number 21 there's $7,875 of members fees well spent.

I just sent in my resignation to the leeches

SURELY.... SURELY....

Just because you sit there on the banks of the swollen Mary River Comrade Honourable Reefy Son has just called you a parasites that live in remote places. Lucky you are not a woman. Geese you'd be in the shit then.

I don't think it is a good time to ask him Surely. I wont even mention your answers to Qs 4 an 6.

I agree I was happy to wait for 4g, which because of the nbn won't happen.

I do live in a non city area Quigs. I pay more for broadband. My phone line + ADSL costs me $80 for speeds that are not ADSL 2 standard, but enough to do anything that this country requires for many years.
I know I get things cheaper here, rent, food etc. I expect to pay more for non essential services like lightning fast Broadband. I do not epect the rest of Australia to be subsidising me. I am not a parasite.

Don't you live on Farkkken Hedges Farkkkken Ave, Gold Coast or just near it. I thought you said here once that you owned five houses and 3 businesses.

So the bank manager Mr NAB who you frequently chat with over the side fence, does he live in a non city area too.

Yeah Comrade Honourable Reefy Son. Youse probably right. Anyone that resides on this continent that doesn't live in a major city and that doesn't have recent photo evidence of their last completed voting slip prior to inserting into the polling voting box is a dead set parasite.

I take it you are a Goldie boy is that correct?

So Surely .... you a businessman and your missus have never stayed free anywhere is that correct.

Conroy and Burke stayed in the snow pre 2007.

Now carefull about what road you are going down there old rural living queensland parasite type (not what I would call you mind you) Surely. Let me just say that a lot of ski chalets in the snow are owned by a lot of well to do people who have had a lot of people staying at them..... Perisher Blue etc.

Also who went on Ginas Plane to India for the wedding of the billionare Indian mining investor's daughter. Arhhh silly moment .... pandoras box.

Yeah and they forgot to charge him with his 12 days of riding his pushy in the pollies pushy charity ride.

Every night he claimed $345.00 living away from home allowance.

I remember Thommo doing that - it was on the news

Haha. Have you actually looked at that link?

Question from the floor without notice.

Just saying mind you.

Now I have never hired an in house movie whilst staying at a hotel. Ever.

Now maybe one or two of youse have.

When you paid by card for your accommodation plus bar fridge plus phone calls plus movie hire .... did your account have the classification of the movie that you watched in house on your account.

Perhaps someone could assist me with an honest answer.

No, you would assume discreet billing would be available. However the hotel would likely have accurate non discreet records on hand.

Am I correct in thinking you believe this is a police conspiracy to get Craig Thomson and that the collossal amount of detailed charges are all a set up?

HERE YOU GO..... HERE YOU GO. ... break down of the squillion dollars the hundred and hundred of thousands of dollars involved.

One of my new friends on the lefty bloggy social networking thingy has just done a bit of basic investigative research into the list of charges.

BASIC FACT CHECKING I WOULD ASSUME.

..................................................

Just crunched some of the numbers on the Thomson charges. I come up with 99 separate instances cited, coming to a total of $25,239.25


There are 11 separate instances of Thomson allegedly buying cigarettes.



There are 23 instances of him allegedly paying for in-house movies (mostly, not not entirely, porn).



There are 13 instances of him allegedly withdrawing cash on the card.



That comprises 47 of the 99 alleged instances.


5 relate to buying petrol.



4 relate to parking.


17 plane trips.



10 relate to dining out.



3 car hire.



2 taxi trips.



4 accommodation at hotels.


And the 7 visits to ladies of the night.



My new friend also commented ..... I make no claims for complete accuracy, but that’s very close to final totals and expenses, at any rate.

He forgot to mention the $75,000 phonecard bill that Thommo lent to his son to use ... hang on sorry that was another former parliamentarian.

There's a 2nd PDF with the rest of the charges not shown on the first link.

So it's fine to steal $25k these days quigs? If he's done on this, especially the prostitute charges he's gone and Gillard is going to look wonderful having defended the scum that he is.

Ads he has been charged with Fraud not stealing.

There is a great big difference. A big big difference.

Lets just say that for example you are obtain the high ranking position of Director in the Peoples Co-op of Emu Park. Now as part of that job you are issued with a Peoples Co-op of Emu Parks Credit Card to be used during your official business. You have a company car you travel around - road trips - interstate flights - late at night - need cigs - need some cash for expenses - pay for parking.

Now lets just say that the Peoples Co-op Of Emu Park has no written guidelines on the use of that card and over a period of time you drive the company car - go on company trips - eat drink and be merry at times and use the company card, bearing in mind there are no official guidelines on how to use the card.

I as a Director at the time get your invoices - tick them off as being okayed .... oh bloody hell Ads must of been short of cash blah blah blah... I dont give a shit as there are no written guidelines.

Just saying.

Now you put in your accounts - or the Peoples Co-op of Emu Park tick the payments, don't question the payments and life goes on.

Now lets just say that you in your opinion considered all your expenses no matter what they were for whilst you are away .... are considered above board. They might be morally wrong but you have not technically broken any rules.

Now no set rules ... nothing in writing.... no set guidelines..... (might be morally wrong but not illegal)

Have you committed Fraud.

I got one and the current school payment just replaced the one that they took away

They never took it away ... you could of claimed it in your taxation return as expenses. If you had the dockets / receipts if needed then you could always claim school expenses. The schoolkid bonus is just a payment to parents inplace of them attempting to claim it on their tax. Low income earners don't need submit a tax return now so a lot just got what they were entitled to and into their accounts in January.

A lot of people missed out because they didn't keep dockets. Good Guv'ment looking after the punters Ayyy

NO BODY TOOK THAT AWAY FROM ANYONE........ FACT !!!!
