good point but if you were asked what is the morr believable claim - thomsons 'set up claim' or the hooker's memory, which is the more believable option?

the hookers memory. That story is at least believable if a little unlikely. Thomsons claim however is unbelievable and utterly unlikely.

Have you read this? Seems to be more reasonable than you think.

SOB

Ive read it and it is an idiotic - almosty breathtakingly silly post. It contructs scenarios that are implausible simply to say that Thomson could be innocent. Not at any point in this ridiculous fantasy does it seek the simple or obvious conclusion. It is the very worst example of investigation. it starts with a conclusion and then works backs constructing an elaborate set of incidents to support it. And in true Thomson style, not a single elecment is supported by even a grain of truth. Fantasy all the way.

Its not there to show he is innocent. Its there to show he *could* be innocent. Its possible.

First google result to show up. Bolt.

Just worse and worse.

Now A Current Affair says it has found another item in Craig Thomson’s expenses - $770 spent on May 7, 2005 - that is actually for a Sydney escort agency, Boardroom Escorts. The charge appears on bills as made out to the innocuous International Immobiliare.

A Current Affair says Thomson’s expenses, as detailed by Fair Work Australia, place him in Sydney on that day, using this credit card for other expenses. It claims to have interviewed the Boardroom Escorts prostitute, although she was not seen or quoted.

From the Fair Work report:

Internat Immobiliaire $770 - May 2005

587. The statement issued in relation to Mr Thomson’s CBA Mastercard for the period ending 27 May 2005 records an entry for a transaction on or about 7 May 2005 titled ‘Internat Immobiliare, Sydney Aus’ for $770. HSUNO.010.0073

588. No documents have been produced by the HSU to FWA evidencing that the transaction and the payment made in connection with ‘Internat Immobiliare’ of Sydney were authorised by the National Council and the National Executive…

590. Mr Thomson was asked by FWA to explain what the payment in connection with ‘Internet Immobiliar’ related to. He gave the following evidence about the matter (Thomson PN 1334):

I’m not a hundred per cent sure we did have a national executive meeting in Fremantle, but I don’t particularly know. I’m not sure what ‘Internet Immobiliaire ‘ is in Sydney on 7 May.

Sorry not trying to confuse but it was me asking where he was, I don't know where either he was or the link is.

Maybe one would answer the other, who knows.

New information from Herald Sun

A MYSTERY payment to a company that Craig Thomson claims was incidental to the running of his union shares the name of a company set up by a Sydney sex industry kingpin, the Herald Sun has found.

Mr Thomson has always claimed the other brothel transactions listed in his name were frauds, but he has admitted to making a $770 payment to Internat Immobiliare.

Mr Thomson told FWA investigators he did not know what the payment related to but his lawyers argued the payment was "was incidental to the general administration of the HSU and that expenditure did not require the approval of the national executive or the national council''.

But the Herald Sun can reveal that a company called International Immobilaire was established by Sydney sex industry kingpin Graeme George Edwards in October 2003
.

Mr Edwards ran the Boardroom Escort Agency and once described himself as "the biggest player in Australia's sex industry''.

The Boardroom is the escort agency where a former prostitute, who has been interviewed by A Current Affair, worked.

The payment to Internat Immobiliare was at the same time the woman claims she encountered Mr Thomson.

ACA also reported that International Immobiliare was a holding company set up to take payments on behalf of the Boardroom.

International Immobilaire was deregistered in 2008 after Mr Edwards was charged over the alleged abduction of one of his brothel managers.

The charges were eventually dropped and Mr Edwards moved to New Zealand where he opened a Mexican restaurant.

Mr Thomson today declined to answer a series of specific questions about the Immobilaire transaction.

"I have done nothing wrong and I refer you to my statement I made in Parliament on Monday. I further understand ACA are not at this stage broadcasting anything related to the woman on legal advice,'' he said.

The Herald Sun can also reveal that police have been told to look into whether Mr Thomson used American Express cards on escorts.

Detectives with Strikeforce Carnarvon in NSW are believed to have referred to Victoria Police fraud squad detectives information about an American Express card allegedly linked to Thomson.

Sex industry sources in Victoria have told police to look into Thomson's use of that card, not only the Diners Club card and MasterCard records checked by Fair Work Australia.

Highlighted is also interesting. Another card to look for escort agencies that are hidden behind different names?

Well, actually it is. You are trying to claim, by a carefully cultivated innuendo, a more authoritative understanding of these matters because of obliquely hinted-at legal qualification, whereas there is nil evidence in your posts that you have any such legal quals.

You can express whatever opinion you have, of course, but your posts have not shown any evidence of any legal training.

More from the Telegraph

Escort's claims could sink MP Craig Thomson

THE woman at the centre of the latest Craig Thomson scandal works in the thoroughbred industry in northern NSW.

The Daily Telegraph can reveal the woman, originally from New Zealand, lives at Cabarita Beach after previously working in Sydney as an escort with Boardroom Escorts.

Now in her 30s, she left the sex industry and moved north to Murwillumbah, where she worked at horse stables as a strapper before her NSW Racing registration expired in October last year.

The woman has been taken to an overseas location after Channel 9's A Current Affair offered her $60,000 to speak about her alleged encounters with the Dobell MP.

Meanwhile, police are investigating fresh claims Mr Thomson used a third credit card - supplied by a contractor - to pay for prostitutes.
