No doubt it is only a matter of time before this happens here:

A FEDERAL Labor MP and ex-union boss, Craig Thomson, is facing allegations that his union credit cards were used to pay for escort services, to withdraw more than $100,000 cash and to bankroll his election campaign.

It would be a Labor MP, wouldn't it?

Some might take comfort from the fact that politicians across the globe are exploiting their expenses; for me, it is just further proof of the naked contempt they show for those they claim to represent.
