It transpires that Wayne Swan leaned on Woolworths' CEO O'Brien to remove its advertising from Alan Jones' talkback sessions on 2GB (http://www.theaustralian.com.au/opinion/columnists/swan-comes-out-swinging-in-gender-and-class-wars/story-fnahw9xv-1226498087115).
This demonstrates the double standards of both Woolworths and Wayne Swan. Swan chastised Abbott for not correcting Alan Jones about his insensitive remark about the PM's father, but chose to sit through the grossly obscene joke about Tony Abbott told by the socalled comedian at the CFMEU function. Woolworths purported to take a public stand against Jones' comment, but chose to accept the obscene joke about Tony Abbott. It is farcical that Swan, who is renown for his coarse language even in the presence of women, puts himself forward as an arbiter of the standard of public comment.
