Disgraced former federal MP Craig Thomson running migrant placement scheme 

With Kevin Rudd's wife Thérèse Rein, the Krudd's milked $millions of dollars out of their "migrant worker placement business" funded by taxpayers.

The "innovative" PM Malcolm Turnbull calls these employment scams an "ideas boom". Realistically our youth unemployment is about 20% and we have shysters like Craig Thomson milking their misery, subsidised by taxpayers!

Its about time that the reliable, honest Commonwealth Employment Service (CES) was reopened and these worker placement and so called 'training', scams be shut down.

Thérèse Rein

With lack of employment an issue here on the Central Coast, I'll bet the newly elected Labor member for Dobell will be silent on this Thompson scam.

Michael,

Well, I must say, I am not in the least surprised.

Last year when you reported he was in China, that did surprise me, as I did not think he should have had a passport with his
criminal past.

Of course to-date no judge has put him behind bars with this past, this case again was mis-managed, this was not a surprise of course.

It just shows, it is not what you know, but who you know, I do not believe that this Craig Thomson will ever want for anything at all, as he knows certain things, which certain other people would not like to be put before the public.

These certain other people will always make sure, that he does not talk, therefore that grub will always be able to use the perks, that we pay for.

Of course we had all hoped that Julie Bishop was going to continue her attack on the at that time Prime Minister in the next Parliament, when the Opposition had become the Government at that time with a large majority.

We, the people (suckers who pay for that scum) had at least expected that the grub Craig Thomson would have been made to apologise to us for the lies he told publicly in Parliament and at the same time abused a few people.

Ms Bishop who had managed to grab the Minister for Foreign Affairs, a plum job in government, must have received our correspondence with requests for this behaviour of Thomson in the previous government to be investigated, she ignored our requests and grub Thomson got away again with his lies in Parliament, it was looked at, however it was found to be of no consequence.

Again we should have known, they cover for each other, it does not matter which party one belongs to in cases like this, it is the most important thing to never admit having done any wrong!

See: TURC Royal Commission, they have a few victims, but not the ones who matter.

Sorry to have used so many words on this piece of shit, who really does not deserve any of my time, perhaps Julie of Geelong was in the back of my mind, as it proves again how it all fits
together all over the world and we must continue to fight the continuing fraud, we have to for our own sakes.

I was under the impression that Craig was sentenced to a term of imprisonment. What happened to that sentence. Do ALP members have an exemption to going to jail if they are convicted?

I remember when that alleged traitor Dastari paid for Craig's $300,000 costs for his failed Court case against The Sydney Morning Herald. Did the Chinese also pay for these costs? It would seem that Dastari, the Labor Party and corrupt Chinese kick-backs go back a long way! Abbott, when Prime Minister, put the squeeze on Little Billy Short-change to pay those costs. Billy could not very well expose the whole corrupt ALP by paying the money back to the Chinese.

Don't hold your breath waiting.

Remember the new member for Dobell campaigned on a platform to Save Wyong Hospital.

Save it from what, I asked a Labor booth worker. Are you trying to save it from the $200 million upgrade alreaady planned and scheduled to begin in the life of the current state parliament. Ever seen a grown person do an impression of a stunned mullet?

Then there's Thomson himself. As a former federal member, he should be well aware that youth unemployment runs at up to 30%. While there are many cafes and other hospitality operations on the Central Coast, there is no TAFE hospitality training at local colleges.

So Thomson is bringing in unskilled workers on 457 visas—which were supposed to be for skilled people when employers could not hire the appropriate skills locally—and taking what jobs there are.

In doind so, he is taking jobs from his former constituents.

Way to go Craig! :-( :-p

Does this Craig Thomson has no shame?. Obviously he hasn't. Thomson is a complete grub of what he does. He's a convicted criminal who deserved to go to jail, instead of bloody running a worker placement business. Thomson being broke financially?. I say, what a bloody lie!!.

'Wyong' bloody hospital should be called Kanwal! I discovered when fighting to help the Woy Woy Public Hospital Alliance get our stolen rehabilitation amenities returned to their wing at Woy Woy Hospital. Is twenty bucks by taxi away from Wyong rail station, at Kanwal. Incidentally the Woy Woy Public Hospital Alliance won a five year battle with governments both State and Federal being forced to replace our stolen amenity with a brand new 30 bed wing. there is a bronze plaque to the memory of Mr Brian Neville the public face of our fight to be found in the garden near the door to the new wing.

The Wickedman Group comes to mind.

Let's not be too hard on young Craig.

After all, he did prove that there was one member of the KRudd/Gillard ineptocracy that could organise a r¢¢t in a brothel.

Maybe Thompson can have Dasyari as Finace Manager for this new business venture.

Words " on the Gravy train" come to mind.

You are absolutely correct Geoff Wyong Hospital is across the Pacific Highway from Kanwal in Hamlyn Terrace .
Twenty dollars by taxi from Wyong rail station.But in case you have mistaken me for a partisan supporter of Labor. I will point out I have spent money exposing all sorts of shonks and cheats in local Central coast papers. Labor and Liberal party members have no monopoly on dodgy campaigning. If you wish to highlight the cry to Save Wyong Hospital during the campaign of Emma McBride for the seat of Dobell go for it Geoff. But when people on the Woy Woy peninsula were forced to fight both Liberal and Labor parties for years. To get our stolen medical amenity returned to Woy Woy Hospital it didn't help to be told 'givernment' would put on a free buss to take family members to visit patients in the replacement rehabilitative amenity at Wyong Hospital when that hospital is not at Wyong, but further on up the Pacific Highway. The name of the hospital is still misleading its not at Wyong. Edward James from my Dolls House

Even the exposed dregs of politics Craig Thomson are still looked after. With the two parties not much preferred thumbing their noses at taxpayers. Edward James from my Dolls House
