Craig Thomson sentenced to 4 years in prison for fraud and false visa claims, with 2.5 years non-parole.
Former federal MP Craig Thomson has been sentenced to four years in prison for fraudulently obtaining government grants and making false visa statements, with a two-and-a-half-year non-parole period.
He pleaded guilty to deception and providing false documents to immigration officials.
This follows a 2024 conviction where he avoided jail for misusing $25,000 in COVID-19 grants for a café owned by his estranged wife, instead serving a 14-month intensive corrections order, community service, and repaying the funds.
Thomson, suspended by the Labor Party in 2012 over union fund misuses, had a prior conviction overturned on appeal.
