Dear SM,

The Silence of the Left?

There is no silence.

The personal attacks on Ms Credlin were made by Clive Palmer
who refused to apologise for them. He stand alone on this
issue. The Leader
of the Opposition - Bill Shorten has
described Palmer's attack on Ms Credlin as, "Unwarranted and
Wrong." And, his Deputy, Tanya Plebersek has also made it
quite clear that of course Mr Palmer can debate policy but
he should not debate staff members in doing so.

Ms Plebersek said, "The Abbott Government's Paid Parental
Leave Scheme is bad policy - (ask any Liberal or National MP),
it's extravagant and unfair, and its on that basis my
colleagues and I have made the case against it - on the policy,
not the personal."

Clive Palmer is on his own in this matter, and he has been
criticised for his remarks by all sides of politics.
Accusing the so called "Left" in this matter just doesn't
wash.

What a disingenuous crock of ....

Dont come here with you fake concern and try to use this incident as a weapon against those you dislike. That is even more disgusting than the sexism.
You people are full of it and you think we are fools to fall for your confected outrage with its sinister ulterior motives.
You never protested the sick things said about julia gillard and it is a bit rich to come here and pretend that you give a toss now one of your own has been insulted.

You dont care.
All you care about is a chance to bash the "leftys".
And it was one of your own who said it anyway. Palmer is hardly a lefty is he?

Whats next rabbott insults the queen(again) and its labors fault because they want a republic?
Poor people being blamed for hokey being fat?
Leftys to blame for the GFC?

Your motives are transparent and disgusting. No one believes one word of your LIES and your pretend outrage. Its just sickeningly obvious what you are doing and you are demeaning yourselves by trying.

I do believe that Ms Credlin is a Liberal party enforcer for her husband, the head of the Liberal Party. She tell Abbott what the faceless men behind the scenes want done & Abbott does it or else he's out of there.

No Foxy, there was a silence from the left until someone pointed out
how quiet they were, then and only then did the left speak out.
I watched it happening and had to be amused.
Look, it is not unusual at all for the left to say nothing when things
are done by those on the left that would cause immediate outrage if done by the right.
It happens all the time. Perhaps the left is just starting to realise it.

What a bunch of hypocrites. Every left whinger has completely failed to personally make a comment on Clive Palmer's sexism, not even Foxy. I saw the same feeble response on Twitter. It was also factually incorrect, because as a highly paid public servant Credlin already gets paid maternity leave worth as much or more than the PPL.

Every tiny PC misstep Abbott has made has been shouted from the roof tops as a sign that he hates women and what do we get when there is an outrageous case of sexism against a liberal staffer. Sweet stuff all.

Shorten called it "Wrong" (don't over react) Plibersek in essence said nothing, nor did any labor MP.

All of you have lost any credibility on the issue. Be sure that I will be there to ram it down your throats next time you bring up anything against Abbott.
