Channel 9 has turned up a prostitute who ‘recognised’ Craig from a photograph and was paid sixty thousand dollars for an interview they might not now air for a week or so.
Or this is what The Daily Telegraph online says. The story hasn’t turned up on the ABC yet, and you wonder.
They will I imagine put her through a lie detector test, find out if she is on heroin, or Ice, and check her HIV status and her sanity and the paperwork of her no doubt legal place of employment for the dates and hours and see if it fits the geography of where Craig was known to be that night.
The delay in broadcast leads me to think she is not very convincing, and probably had to be coached through her answers like, say, Michelle Chantelois in 2010. Channel 9 also offered Craig and his wife big money for an interview about his infidelity, if any, which, surprisingly, they both knocked back.
This in turn will ‘overshadow’, I suppose, the good Schapelle Corby news, out tomorrow also. What a coincidence. Who’d a thunk it.
What grubs they are. Tapeworms.
There’s an outside chance they’re on to something.
I will await more information, if that is the word I want, with interest.
Name:
After 7 years, who the fuck cares and why do they keep going on and on about it as if it matters.
He didn’t break any frigging law.
Yeah, massive looting of workers’ money does matter; engaging a few whores does not.
Which is why I teckon it works for Craig Thomson that the focus should turn that way.
So who reported this offence?
Where are the charges?
None?
Oh,I see.
Talks cheap.
But if it makes you feel happy about yourself….
Gina Rhineheart earns two million dollars an hour digging up dirt we own and six thousand dollars in three years is ‘massive looting’?
Come on.
Don’t really see what her possible HIV status or her possible heroin usage has to do with anything Bob. (Don’t know about ice) Be careful, this thing about vilification cuts all ways.
This was always going to happen whether Craig Thomson ever met a whore in her professional capacity or not; Thomson is not eight feet tall and green but looks like many other men of his approximate age.
So chill, please.
If her identification can’t be made good (and I’m thinking it probably cannot), then there is your turning point.
Marilyn, as we know because she has repeatedly told us, doesn’t care. One wonders why she feels the need to continue to berate us so?
Bob, and others, seem to still be interested. *pulls on poncho, awaits downpour of fucks fucking*
Bob, you’ve been calling for the girl for weeks. Hallelujah, here she comes.
What is your standard of proof? What would convince you of her legitimacy in this matter?
cm, to address your ‘wonderment’ probably because Marilyn the same as I, finds it hard to believe that your ilk desire to go on and on like a cracked record over something as unimportant in the National Interest even if it were an offence.
God, you lot must lead unexciting lives if you get your jollies from Tabloids and ACA/TT!
Unimportant? Not in the National Interest (Capitals duly noted)?
Hardly. Let me spell it out for you.
It is in the national interest for this minority Government to pass legislation and govern in a manner which is worthy of the good faith of the people.
I happen to think Labor are, in the broad sense, doing this. I suspect I am in the minority on this.
If the Thomson allegations make their way to court and he is convicted of an offence with a gaol sentence of over a year, or he becomes bankrupt; this drastically influences the Government’s capacity to legislate in the national interest.
Now, you may be of the opinion that he is innocent, or that we should cease discussion until he is formally charged, if it comes to that. Good for you.
Unfortunately, the cat, as they say, is out of the bag. No use pretending it’s not.
You position on this, and Marilyn’s, is enviable. You both seem to think you can close your eyes, point to the justifiably more important issues (yes I agree with you on this) and it will all go away and resolve itself.
Here’s the thing; it won’t. You have to engage. If you don’t want to that’s fine, go and write and work on those more important things. The rest of us are doing that as well – it’s just that we also understand that, unfortunately, we have to engage is this tawdry discussion.
Oh, and you know nothing about my life. Or do you?
Bob, see questions above. Am still interested in your response.
Chris and Marilyn are not, interested in your reply that is. To save them the trouble of repeatedly posting (why do they?) I will reply for them (feel free to copy and paste):
“Bob, everyone else, why are we discussing Thomson? It’s not in the National Interest.
Yours,
Marilyn and Chris.”
Stop hyperventilating CM. Marilyn and Chris are quite rightly pointing out that you are part of the problem.
LOL!
Even given the worst case scenario, there is no, repeat no reason that the Gillard government would not be able to’govern in a manner which is worthy of the good faith of the people’.
It actually happens elsewhere in the world.
Such a situation can actually require legislative programs that gain the approval of the hoi polloi.
And no cm,I don’t think I can close my eyes and it will all go away.
But I do reserve the right, if it’s OK with you, to remain incredulous at some of the more ridiculous comments, and now your view that one has some mandatory obligation to ‘engage on the issue and fan it along nicely, when there are more pressing matters to attend to for a Government.
What’s the worst case scenario?
Don’t say you didn’t ask for it – inducement and all. Who did you think was going to uncover this – The Big Issue ?
Amazing what you can ‘uncover’ when you wave $60,000 in front of a group of prostitutes.
Channel Nine’s website yhas a headline saying they deny paying prostitute. But it’s just a headline. There is no story at end of link. They just want the headline the cowards. They haven’t thrown up the actual claims in an article because to do so would drag their stinking filthy carcasses into the pit of legal hell.
British owned Nine aint no Aussie broadcaster. You revolt me A Current Affair. SCUM SCUM SCUM

Here’s a direct link to A Current Affairs press release saying no one has been paid (yet)

This will all blow up in the conservatives faces.
It is Godwin Grech all over again.
What genuine person would come forward without a sizeable downpayment? A masochist?
On the other hand, a gold-digging type might be willing to do it on spec, if they could be schooled . . .
