Has enough been enough in relation to the Craig Thomson affair? Has he answered the allegations against him satisfactorily or to a point that the public should now leave him alone? Leave your comments below.
A CURRENT AFFAIR RESPONSE TO CRAIG THOMSON
A CURRENT AFFAIR has been conducting an investigation into
allegations against Federal MP Craig Thomson in relation to his former position
at the Health Services Union.
Our investigation has uncovered additional claims, not
previously reported or to our knowledge investigated elsewhere.
On that basis, we attended Parliament House in Canberra and
met with Mr. Thomson. In the interests of absolute fairness and transparency,
we presented our information to him, in an "off the record" conversation conducted in his office. This conversation lasted for almost 90
minutes.
In response to claims made by Mr. Thomson in this morning's
News Ltd papers and in a subsequent press conference, we want to emphasise that
no-one has received any payment from A CURRENT AFFAIR.
We have not published or broadcast a story. In fact, our
investigation is ongoing.
We reject Mr. Thomson's claims of "grubby
journalism". Grubby journalists would have already run a story, without
giving him the opportunity to examine the information.
Tonight, A CURRENT AFFAIR on Channel NINE at six thirty will
bring viewers up to date with the progress of our investigation.
