If we're going to bring up past events -
it's worth remembering the party fundraising
dinner for Liberal Candidate Mal Brough which
featured a Menu including - "Julia Gillard
Kentucky Fried Quail - small breasts, hugh thighs
and a Big Red Box..."

Mr Abbott described the Menu as "tacky" but refused
to withdraw support for Mal Brough who had organised
the event.

Therefore before pointing fingers - about "hurtful"
remarks -
the Coalition's track record also needs to be considered.
And if we're going to go down the Left/Right divide -
then where was the righteous indignation from the Right
on this matter?

The silence of the left on many issues is deafening.

The progressive left constantly berates the public on the evils of the big end of town. The bankers, the miners and the millionaires. We are also constantly reminded of the value of freedom of speech, freedom of the press and freedom of choice.

Can the progressive left please explain why is it OK to be a miner as long as you are Clive Palmer, why is it OK to be a millionaire if you are Kevin Rudd, Malcolm Turnbull or Clive palmer? Or why it is OK to be a banker but only if you are Malcolm Turnbull?

Whilst we are in question mode. Can the progressive left explain why it is OK for the ABC, Fairfax and The Guardian to freely express their opinions but not the journalists employed by The Murdoch Media Group? Why is it OK for the progressive left to howl at sexism and “call it out” when they see it but fail to call it out when those expressing it are “aligned” with the left of politics?

The lack of explanation of such matters leaves the progressives and their fellow travellers with the minor problem of abject hypocrisy, but hey, that’s what they do best. Unless of course anyone can step up to answer these questions?

Hello?

rubbish, SM..

On twitter there are plenty of lefties condenming Palmer's words re Credlin.

I couldn't give a toss about her fertility, myself.

I'm more interested in her being the architect and facilitator behind the Abbott Govt's cretinous and dumb policies.

Take a look at consumer sentiment.

"Australian Consumer Sentiment Is Plummeting, Even Faster Than During The GFC"

So let's concentrate less on the PM's CoS's fertility - and more on her (and the IPA's) dearth of economic nous.

Shadow Minister has now been CAUGHT OUT as a hypocritical misogynist. It took me just 4 minutes to find these past posts from him ......

"Now it's time for the red haired weasel to face the music"

"Juliar may have slept around"

"Was she so stupid"

"Juilar is a complete idiot"

But, but, but .... when a woman from SM's side is picked on, he is *UTTERLY OUTRAGED* (totally feigned of course) and starts an entire new topic about it. The Shadow Minister misogynist doesn't give a damn in hell about Peta Credlin, as this thread is merely for the purpose of his ignorant criticism of the left.

The best comment anyone can make about Shadow Minister's "fake" topic is ...... "HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA"

Well done Madame Poirot,

It has become a very popular expression, “to segue”.

“ the act of changing smoothly from one state or situation to another or the act of passing from one state or place to the next”. (we used to call it obfuscation, remember?)

Well done, that was better then your normal “rhetoric”. Congratulations.

Have you finally found a replacement?

Did Clive know she was pregnant or in the IVF Programme? If he didn't then what does it have to do with what was said. He could have used any woman in the area at the time as an example.

She is a stooge for her Husband & the Liberal Party backroom boys anyway. Abbott is only a Puppet for them.
