Five more charges were filed on Wednesday against embattled independent MP Craig Emerson when he appeared together with his wife, Zoe Arnold, before the Melbourne Magistrates Court.

The new charges brings to 154 the total number of charges Mr Thomson is accused of regarding his alleged misuse of Health Services Union (HSU) funds, including using HSU cards to pay for services of prostitutes.

As part of his bail condition, Mr Thomson was ordered by the court to stay away from sex workers at several brothels he allegedly visited frequently from 2003 to 2007. The list includes Tiffany Girls, Young Blondes and A Touch of Class.

Magistrate Donna Bakos, who gave the order, said the condition was fair and did not placed undue onus on the MP.

Mr Thomson has consistently denied he had misused HSU funds and engaged the services of sex trade workers. He had complained of being made to undergo a strip search twice, which he described as a method to intimidate him.

The court also required the MP to inform police of any interstate or overseas trips he would make, except for trips to Canberra for parliamentary businesses.
