Thomson Sentenced for Visa Fraud, Grant Deception
Update: 2025-12-18
Description
Former Australian MP Craig Thomson sentenced to over two years in prison for fraudulent visa applications and illegal government grants. This follows his guilty plea to charges including deceiving the Commonwealth and making false statements to immigration authorities. Thomson, who previously avoided jail time for COVID-19 support grant fraud, now faces a significant jail sentence and must repay the money. His legal troubles date back to 2012, with accusations of misusing members funds and theft, though the latter conviction was later overturned.
