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.
