A jury of his peers

.
Tony Abbott and the coalition want Craig Thomson to be judged by a jury of his peers.

One is Tony himself. A man who was found ‘not guilty within reasonable doubt’ to have allegedly stuck his hand between the legs of a woman while she was speaking to an audience. Allegedly, Abbott then ran his hand against her genitalia as the victim stood in front of people making a speech. Her claim was supported by those who witnessed the incident. Unfortunately the judge found that Abbott’s team of lawyers (5) managed to lay reasonable doubt as an issue. However while the judge said reasonable doubt has been established by his lawyers, he still felt that a man would not have done the things Tony Abbott was alleged to have done and he believed to have happened.

Sophie Mirabella is accused of manipulating an old man out of his will by his family. The family allege that her federal political career would not have occurred had it not been for the generous donations of the man she took as her lover. Her sugar daddy. So it became obvious to Sophie that having a relationship with a much older man was not a vote winner. The party sought and found her a husband and she spat out some kids. But sometime during the birth of the second or third one, Sophie’s ex-lover, now suffering dementia, was moved into a place right next door to Sophie where she claims she looked after him. So well did she do this that he cut out his own family from the will.

Craig Kelly (apologies for error Dana Vale) has been an MP for a very very long time. So when it was recently disclosed that while she was an MP she acted as a solicitor and was paid for it is a little shocking. Further, Craig had trouble updating the parliamentary register. The thing the coalition are saying Thomson needs spanking for.

Abbott also forgot to update that register. For two years. When asked why Abbott not declaring his $750k loan is the same as Thomson not declaring his legal fee payments. Pyne said it was VASTLY different. This was not money given to Abbott to stop him from bankruptcy he declared. He also said how was Mr Abbott going to remember ever little gift he gets from a Samoan president. I would remember $750k if it was a gift. 

And lets keep looking at Christopher Pyne and his drinks with his lovely new mincing poodle like friend. The ones where he forgets he even meet and then admits they had several drinks and probably also swapped recipes.

There are more MPs of course. And there are some who are unmarked in ANY way.

What I find interesting is the call to judge Thomson is coming from those who are not innocent. And they will argue that this is not about what they did, its about what Thomson did. After this Thomson planed censure, the parliament will be excellent position to be able to make all sitting MP’s to be accountable for their past. We will once again be able to relive those moments in history. A moment where Abbott, for a laugh, allegedly pushes an index finger against the genitalia of a woman that had not given him permission to do so.

A moment where for a laugh, Andrew Wilkie allegedly stood to one side while ADFA recruits were bastardised.

A moment where, for a laugh, Sophie would allegedly perform oral sex for election donations.

Ask yourself Tony. You really want the political points here buddy? Of course Abbott was entitled to his day in court. The coalition are keen to pass judgement on Thomson BEFORE a court does. Just in case he, like they, escapes with a technicality.

The hilarious part of all this is the coalition claim that it was Thomson and Thomson alone who has bought the parliament into disrepute. Let me conduct a sexual assault on a female and blame someone else. Let me start a fund where an ex lover can supply cash to Sophie without declaring it on the electoral roll. Let me give you solicitor advice while being a MP. Let me continue to do this even though I run two businesses into criminally negligent bankruptcy. And then ignore the fact that I failed to inform the house of my actions till only last month or so,

And this is not even including the stuff that happens and is never reported officially. So many of those on all sides all round.

Judge not. Lest ye be judged. But if you are going to let judging occur Tony, you really should use a The Voice type method where people can phone up and download iTune speeches and even vote on FACEBOOK.

So much disrepute. So little time.
