Disgraced former MP Craig Thomson to face Victorian court
Craig Thomson.
Disgraced former MP and union boss Craig Thomson is expected to learn of his punishment on Tuesday after the Fair Work Commission's successful law suit against him.
Thomson, formerly the Labor member for Dobell, was fined $25,000 last year for 13 counts of theft but was acquitted of 49 fraud charges over personal transactions involving union money between 2003 and 2007.
He now faces potential financial penalties after the Fair Work Commission sued him for charging the union for political campaign materials, a $90,000 rugby league sponsorship deal and time in brothels, in breach of the Fair Work Act.
Justice Christopher Jessup is expected to rule on Thomson's penalties at a hearing in Melbourne on Tuesday.
