IT’S the expensive farce over a Labor MP, union credit cards and hookers that makes some of history’s most complex events seem simple.
Fair Work Australia’s investigation of Dobell MP Craig Thomson over the past three years has taken longer than the 11-month inquiry into the 1963 assassination of US President John F Kennedy.
Construction of Sydney’s Olympic Stadium was also easier to wrap up than the FWA probe into the finances of the Health Services Union, including allegations Mr Thomson, as national secretary, used union credit cards to pay for prostitutes and withdraw cash.
Even the Nuremberg trials that prosecuted Nazi criminals for humanity’s most heinous war crimes were completed two years quicker than the seemingly endless probe into Mr Thompson.
The opposition will today use a Senate estimates hearing to grill FWA chiefs over the continuing scandal after the industrial umpire wrongly promised at its last appearance in October that the inquiry would be completed by the end of last year.
The hearing is expected to focus on the delays since April 2009, with the industrial umpire’s top spin doctor and FOI officer called to attend following claims of government interference and stonewalling.
Another budget estimates committee probing the Australian Government Solicitor yesterday revealed a blowout in the bill for taxpayers to more than $1 million.
Opposition workplace relations spokesman Eric Abetz predicted the taxpayer bill would easily top $2 million, including the wages of FWA staff.
Senator Abetz said the probe had turned into an expensive “lawyer’s picnic”.
“The stonewalling over the past three years has to stop,” he said.
Under questioning in parliament yesterday, Prime Minister Julia Gillard failed to answer how long or expensive she considered was appropriate for the inquiry into Mr Thomson, who has denied any wrongdoing.
“Fair Work Australia is independent,” Ms Gillard told question time. “We understand that when you set up an independent umpire, you have got to let it do its job.”An FWA spokesman warned the inquiry would take longer than March 5, the closing date for responses from Mr Thomson and officials.”Nothing has changed at this stage really,” he said.
