Can everyone please just leave Craig alone? It is clear that he is innocent. Someone must have obviously stolen his credit card, forged his signature, and possibly even stolen his face. Craig, being the great, dignified and respectable gentleman that he is, decided to let it go, and not follow up the case, and try to discover the identify of the culprit.

Its not clear whether he is guilty or innocent and frankly I doubt Abbott would give a toss if he thought he could win the election if Gillard goes full term.
Let the system take its course and if he is found guilty throw the book at him.

Exactly. But the problem for whiny little snivelers like matty/haim et al is that she has spent the last two and a half years listening to longwhine preach that the Labor gov will fall any day and has been stupid enough to believe him.longwhine should stop being so cruel to the handicapped, its just not fair on matty.

What? I am defending him. I mean, it's perfectly clear that he is innocent. Craig was just too nice a person to worry about someone using his credit card, forging his signature and possibly even stealing his face.

I understand why Thomson is refusing to be interviewed and it is perhaps good legal advice. But ultimately it does tend to suggest that he is attempting to avoid self-incrimination - which is his right. His lawyers are trying to keep him out of jail, which is their job. But you have to admit, it looks bad.

Ultimately though he WILL have to talk with the police even if they have to arrest him to do so. AS the mass of evidence piles up against him it wil end up being better to go willingly rather than in handcuffs.

He is still going to jail tho. He is just trying to stave off the inevitable.

Everyone is innocent unless proven otherwise..we havent degenerated into a hard line ultra conservative Milosevic style dictatorship just yet.

HILARIOUS...but all the nasty things you said about Fisher were A OK> is that right???

Did I say Fisher should be jailed?
Nope.. I said she is not mentally fit to be in parliament and I doubt anyone can dispute that.

depression and panic attacks dont disqualify you from almost any profession. Why dhouls parliament be any different? how can you complain about Fishers mental health without equally questionoing the ETHICAL health of others? only the latter truly affects their judgement.

Rubbish ... I'd like to see you get in a plane knowing the pilot is prone to either ... or under a surgeons knife knowing anything could trigger he's next panick attack ... opps sorry, I didn't mean to remove your frontal lobe , I knda panicked....

When politicians offer you something for nothing, or something that sounds too good to be true, it's always worth taking a careful second look.

hence the word 'ALMOST'. see thats what intelligent people do... They dont make broad sweeping statements. They recognise that there are a FEW professions that depression could affect although there are a lot of depressed surgeons and pilots and plenty of examples of both.

you are quite 19th century in your understanding of depression. Who would have thought you could be so antiquated?
