Politicians perks, page-50

Firstly, let me start by saying that I do not endorse anyone spending over $6,000 on prostitutes on a union credit card — that is reprehensible behaviour. Nor do I endorse not declaring vast amounts of money to the Electoral Commission on election campaigns. However, these allegations are yet to be proved — and are vigorously denied.

Let's get that out of the way then go for Jackson and link her to Abbott.

As anybody who has followed Thomson's story knows - that is but the tip of his iceberg. He was into the hundreds of thousands, the least but most salacious of which was the piddly $6k on hookers.
My point is that union officials, when they go feral, go for huge misappropriations, compared to politicians who play around the edges at worst.
