Former Health Services Union boss Michael Williamson has been sentenced to seven-and-a-half years in jail for fraud.

The New South Wales District Court was packed as sentencing Judge David Frearson described Williamson as "brazen and arrogant".

The judge said Williamson was in a position of power when he defrauded the union of nearly $1 million.

Judge Frearson described Williamson's "parasitic plundering of union funds for pure greed".

Williamson showed no emotion as he discovered his fate and sat staring at the judge until he was led away.

The 60-year-old will be eligible for parole after serving five years in prison.

Williamson had been facing a possible 20 years in jail after pleading guilty to four charges including fraud and recruiting others to hinder a police investigation.

Prosecutors say Williamson, who was already on a salary of about $500,000, was motivated by greed.

The court has been told the former Australian Labor Party president submitted false invoices to the union from a company in his wife's name.

Williamson's lawyers say he has apologised and taken full responsibility for his actions, noting he has also suffered depression since his behaviour was exposed.

More to come. Grin

Labor has had too many crooks, imagine how few supporters Labor would still have, if the Libs were not such utter baskets.

Willianson stole over $1million, through clear and deliberate fraud, the intention was clear. He drew up false invoices from his wife and paid them to her

Thommo spent a few thousand on his charge card

whilst both deplorable, they are hardly the same thing

I suppose sinidosis is labor as well? Grin

besdies, since when do you wait for someone to be charged before you find them guilty? You certainly didn't wait for Thommo, slipper or Williamson ... in all three cases you had them guilty before you even knew the full story
