  • There's a saying with words to the effect "while good men do nothing evil will flourish." Kathy Jackson, you are some hell of a woman. You have more honesty, integrity and deep passion for justice and accountability than our P.M, who has given Thomson her unqualified support and misguided loyalties.
    The majority of decent Australians salute you.

  • And this cretin Thompson put out a 2012 calendar with his ugly face on it in the letterboxes of thousands of Central Coast citizens some three weeks age. Mine was immediately burnt and from my enquiries everyone else did the same burnt the rotten thing. IT must have cost us taxpayers thousands for this rotten creeps calendar!

  • The Independent Unfair Work Australia is just another department of the JuLIAR LIEbor govt.
    It was formed by JuLIAR.
    The Fair Work ACT was penned by JuLIAR.
    Union officials were appointed by JuLIAR to head this INDEPENDENT work body!
    This is totally unacceptable that there has been NO determination in all this time.
    They have a massive amount of evidence in this matter concerning the allegations against Thomson and there should have been a conclusion after 3 years.
    The Thomson enquiry has obviously been delayed to suit the JuLIAR LIEbor Govt.
    The JuLIAR LIEbor Govt has been tainted by an obvious cover up and the confidence they continue to hold for their own member for Dobell Craig Thomson.
    This government has lost ALL credibility and cannot be trusted.
