It is definitely not something that the national purveyor of 'Progressive' political correctness, the ABC, would ever 'fact check'.

Dear SM and Bazz,

Let me set the record straight once again for you: -

Mr Palmer on Monday used a Parliamentary debate to lash out
at the government's Paid Parental Leave Scheme. His comments
provoked a backlash from ALL sides of politics.
I repeat, from all sides of politics.

From the Opposition Leader Bill Shorten, who described Mr
Palmer's attack on Ms Credlin as, "unwarranted and wrong,"
His Deputy, Tania Plibersek who made it quite clear that
Mr Palmer can debate policy, but he should not debate
staff members in doing so. Then there's Labor's Education
Spokeswoman - Kate Ellis who stated that she found Mr Palmer's
views "Wrong, inappropriate, unnecessary, and low." Just to
name a few.

The comments by Mr Palmer were made in Parliament on Monday -
and the reaction was instant from all sides of politics.
Mr Abbott did not react to Mr Palmer until Wednesday.
However, that doesn't really matter. What does matter is that
MPs from all sides of politics do not agree with Mr Palmer's
comments regarding Ms Credlin. And that in all fairness
is what matters, and is something that is recorded in
news reports found on the web.

BTW - I would have thought that my position would have been
quite clear from my earlier post on this matter.
Of course I don't agree with the premise of what Mr Palmer
stated regarding Ms Credlin. I have family members who went
through the IVF procedure (We now have a lovely one year old grandson - as a result). So I definitely can identify with how
hurtful Mr Palmer's remarks would have been to Ms Credlin.
And MP Ellis is absolutely correct - they were "Wrong,
inappropriate, unnecessary, and low!"

Dear Foxy,

Thank you, you carry the weight of many of the left on your shoulders ;) But perhaps the critics are referring to the silence of the Fcuk Abbott crew, and the Socialist-Opportunist Alliance.

When the Prime Minister, Tony Abbott, announced his new cabinet it was broad brushstroke. A day later, we discover Mr Abbott will be responsible for women's policies and programs, with the assistance of West Australian senator Michaelia Cash, as minister assisting.

His reason? "This will ensure that these key whole-of-government priorities are at the centre of government." And the real agenda? To ensure that he has final control over decisions which affect women. His values align with a society which says women are not equal. It's not just that they are not the same as men, they don't deserve equality.

At first appearance, it is not exactly like appointing a rumoured climate change denier as the Minister for Science. Or an anti-vaccination fruit loop – if those people still exist – as the Minister for Health.

It's much worse. Here's why. Mr Abbott believes men and women have different abilities – and he considers that position to be evidence-based

Definitely not the self-righteous rolling thunder that was apparent everywhere when Penny Wong became very, very sensitive and even more upset over a little meow in Parliament. What did Tanya Plibersek and others say then?

Dear Joe (Loudmouth),

You'd have to ask the critics.

I wouldn't presume to speak on their behalf.
