G'dayBruce, I think your reply to Foxy is not conducive to good communication or debate, and it demeans you. The fact is that many people would find Wong a threat, and the last time I looked 'men' were considered to be people.

yep trashing the budget is more important to Ms Wong than racism and sexism. She would not want to upset Clive no matter how much of a pig he acts. Oh but that wicked sexist Abbott.

Good Evening Bruce,

I do not demean men or anybody else.
I leave that up to themselves to do.

"...she's a party hack, a dirty infighter, without heart,
morals or ideology, good at acquiring power... as useful
as an ashtray on a motor bike..." and more.

This was from your opening post in this discussion.

No need for any further comment. Your post speaks for itself
completely.

Yes it does, and nowhere therein do I mention her gender, race, appearance or anything else beyond her political type and abilities.
My denigration of her, happily admitted, could as easily be applied to any of her male counterparts, it's gender-neutral.
Also as I said, she's a part of a system, one she's excelled at utilising but one that seriously needs changing, wouldn't you agree?
Or are you content having all those self-serving corrupt ideologues ruling your life without let or hindrance?

"I denigrated her for being exactly what she is, a highly successful part of a decayed and rotten to the core Party political system."

Jolly good, G'dayBruce.

When can we expect your denigration of Warren Truss on the same grounds?

He was present for Clive's big night too...

Or did you just happen to note that this thread was set up ostensibly to slam Wong - and decided you'd pop in for a bit to protest the "Party political system" by bopping her one?

The OP quite rightly criticised the double standard and hypocrisy of a career politician who knows how to ride the victim bandwagon when it suits her, which is 99% of the time, but whose principles and 'commitment' are flexible enough to look the other way when it suits her as well.

As a disappointing Finance Minister in the discredited Julia Whatshername's Labor/Greens government Wong proved she had very few claims to a leadership role. Wong is a talker, but it is all the same old, same spin. Her forte is is acting horrified, put-out and self-righteous, wielding the big stick of politically correctness.

It is a particular time and political environment that has spawned so many political opportunists like Wong, but fortunately the electorate is onto her and others.

By rights, Wong should be paying subs to Actors' Equity.
