This is a very quick lunchtime post, and primarily with a link to the news report carried in the Fairfax press; but after years of investigation, Dobell MP Craig Thomson has been arrested on fraud charges emanating from his days at the helm of the Health Services Union.
Readers will know we have followed this issue as it has intermittently surfaced; indeed, in the next day or so — when I have some time — I will post again at greater length.
I will simply say that this development comes as a surprise to nobody, although what happens from here is to some extent fluid.
And it raises additional questions over yesterday’s election “announcement” — something else I will be returning to in the next day or so, and probably this evening.
For now (as I literally have 10 minutes at present), I simply share a link to the article carried in The Age to break the story.
And I will return to both the election date and this latest turn of events in the Thomson matter very soon.
