Former federal Labor MP Craig Thomson will face court on fresh charges, accused of rorting COVID-19 grants meant to help businesses adversely affected by the pandemic.
NSW Police allege Thomson made fraudulent applications for government grants totalling $25,000 and also applied for JobSaver payments.
The 57-year-old was arrested on the Central Coast on Tuesday and charged with breaching an apprehended violence order, just hours after he was sentenced on other domestic violence charges.
