Re: Financial connections

Have you any evidence to suggest that it hasn't.? The article is just reporting due process as far as I can see, so what is your point exactly?

Hasn't said he HAS paid it either - hence my question.

As I asked, what makes you think it hasn't, or wouldn't be in the course of events? What makes this case any different from any other case regarding due process ?

Since the article hasn't disclosed whether he paid it or not, until such time as I am informed he has, the issue will remain outstanding, and given his connection with a scumbag 'nasty party' minister I will remain deeply sceptical and cynical.

The money this lot can earn for just a few days work...no wonder we consider they are on another planet,it's like a lottery win to us plebs.
How the hell can they possibly know what life is like for the average man on the street.

Re: Financial connections

Did those fiddled expenses by all MPs ever get repaid?

That's the responsibility of the Standards Commissioner, and I have no idea whether they were or not, but I raise the question about a friend of the scumbag 'nasty party' Minister, since the article is silent on whether he paid the fine imposed on him, notwithstanding his appeal.

Re: Financial connections

A fine for insider trading? Are you serious?

Former oil and gas executive Steven Noske will spend at least nine months in jail after he was sentenced for insider trading.

The Perth businessman showed little emotion as Justice Stephen Hall of the Supreme Court of Western Australia sentenced him to 18 months in jail, with a minimum of nine months.

Just pay the fine out of the profit, makes the crime worth doing.
