schadenfreude,
Houelebecq,
That's probably Germany's most successful export to Australia, it really was embraced here particularly by the lefties.

Yeah I love lefty talk.

"This piece is about opposing misogyny, racism and sexism"

Every female member of the federal ALP, including Gillard, supported Slipper; how do you justify that?

Gillard has NOT answered any of the questions about her actions when with Wilson; I raised this point because Gillard's answer to the issues was to use the misogyny card. How do you explain the revealed discrepancy between the declared purpose of the application for association she drafted and Gillard's admission that a different purpose was intended?

Hello again.

Thanks for these further observations.

@R0bert: “It's all very selective though.” Really? Are you sure?

“It's all very hollow in my view and far more driven by politics and to a degree sexism (protecting the feelings of a female PM, how many would have been as outraged if a similar attack had been made on Howard or Abbott?) than any genuine desire for a politer and more honest public discourse.”

But that’s the whole point, R0bert. There have never been radio presenters who have attacked John Howard or Tony Abbott day in, day out with anything like the venom, vindictiveness and sheer fabrications that the present PM has copped since day one from Jones, Hadley, Smith and all the others on the Macquarie network, has there? Can you name one?

Isolated snarls now and again. Sure. But there's not been a concerted, relentless radio campaign with such profound hatred and misogyny, has there?

Have you looked at the embeded links in the article, RObert?

@Arjay: “Freedom of speech and association surpasses all the vile hatred this unsavoury affair has brought to fruition.”

Not sure what you mean by this, Arjay. Do you agree that it's the years of “vile hatred” spewed forth by Alan Jones which is the cause of the current protests?

Do you agree that freedom of association means that those of us who are offended by Jones’ continual lies, distortions, smears, racism and hate speech are free to disassociate ourselves from those organisations which pay him to broadcast?

More soon (word limit). AA

Hi again,

@Shadow Minister: re Jones “has been particularly effective in holding the present government's incompetence up to the light.”

Alas, just not true. We wish it were otherwise. Have you counted the number of time Jones has been found by the Australian Communications and Media Authority to have fabricated his ‘information’?

Have you counted the number of defamation actions taken against him?

“government run censorship board”? Really, Shadow Minister? Why do you raise this? No-one else has, have they?

@Cohenite: “Every female member of the federal ALP, including Gillard, supported Slipper; how do you justify that?”

Do you mean the Peter Slipper who was endorsed to run for the Liberal Party at the last election when Tony Abbott was leader? Should Tony Abbott resign, Anthony? Should Tony Abbott refuse to accept Slipper’s vote henceforward?

Pretty sure you will find every ALP member, male and female, were appalled at Slipper’s behaviour and are relieved he’s been sidelined.

Re Gillard and Wilson, Anthony, yes she has answered all questions. Every one. Don’t be sucked in by the paid anti-ALP activists in the blogosphere or the Murdoch and Fairfax press or on 2GB. As has been clearly proven in courts of law, Anthony, they lie.

Remember that 50 minute press conference in August? Gillard took “every question that the journalistic elite of this country have got for me. If that doesn't end the matter then, with respect, I don't know what would."

Even the anti-Gillard Mark Baker conceded “The journalistic elite was impressed. Even some of the more hardened hands were quick to applaud her pluck and candour. She had answered every question. She had faced a wide-ranging grilling.”

She did not leave that press conference until all journos had completed their grilling, Anthony. She answered every question. Baker should know.

Of course that won’t silence the media nutjobs. Such is Australia’s doom, it seems.

And again, Anthony, this is way off topic. Why do you keep doing this?

Cheers, AA

Alan, you are either a zealot or naive to a degree that rivals Forest Gump.

I told you why I raised Gillard; I'll repeat it; when she was being questioned by the "journalistic elite", a nonpareil oxymoron, she raised the issue of misogyny being the motivation for the raising of her dealings with Wilson.

Those dealings, I'll also repeat; she misrepresented the purpose of a legal document; are you so witless as to not understand the import of that?

In addition it now appears that she may have incorrectly witnessed a Power of Attorney execution:

I had assumed you had some legal background; you obviously haven't; if you had you would realise that these issues go to the heart of the legal process; lawyers in their performance are under oath; if they lie under oath that is contempt of court.

The wider point now, which Gillard seems to be creating, is that any criticism of her and her like-minded political cronies is nothing more than sexism and misogyny.

IMO she is setting back the status of women decades.

I have looked at your examples of sexism by Jones; please select one that you think fulfills the definition because I can't find one.
