Foxy,

I think it's pretty clear what went on on that occasion.

What is clear is that Abbott at university was a dangerous activist thug - "offensive and obnoxious".

http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2004/07/17/1089694611874.html

"....he was repeatedly accused in the university paper of being a right-wing thug and bully who used sexist and racist tactics to intimidate his opponents."

"Tony used to stand outside the women's room with his right-wing mates and loudly tell sexist and homophobic jokes," he said."

He's hardly changed at all....

Dear Poirot,

According to David Marr - Mr Abbott's loss for
the presidency of the SRC was a major disappointment,
one of the first defeats of his life that really
mattered, one he would apparently remember for a long
time. And the SRC offices saw wild scenes of bad-boy behaviour,
flashing, mooning, jeering and abuse.

Yet his supporters seem to have selective memories concerning
this man's past behaviour - and they continue to drag up the
past behaviour of the families of their political opponents through the media, and also the behaviour
of what their political
opponents may or may not have done decades ago - in their youth.

Dear SM,

The following website is worth a read:

It puts things into perspective.

Yep Abbottphobia from the sisterhood ignoring rape claims from 16 year old girls, proven union corruption, caught out lying about stabbing Kevin (sorry Julia). That punch in the air was so serious. And Foxy can't help quoting Marr whose hatred of Abbott has always been clear to see. Nothing like remaining ignorant.

Foxy,

Don't mind runner's run-by....he just dropped in to say that Marr has "hatred" for Abbott - and we've got Abbottototototophobia!

Btw, Indonesia just cancelled this quarter's citrus imports from Oz.

"Department of Agriculture confirms Indonesia has shut its borders to Australian citrus"

http://www.weeklytimesnow.com.au/agribusiness/horticulture/department-of-agriculture-confirms-indonesia-has-shut-its-borders-to-australian-citrus/story-fnker6g8-1227443090820

"INDONESIA has shut its borders to Australian citrus in growers’ peak production and export quarter.

The Department of Agriculture today confirmed Indonesia had not issued import permits to any country for citrus – except lemons – for the July-September quarter.

And other horticultural markets – including onions and carrots – may also be affected, as Indonesia continues its stride toward self-sufficiency.

It comes after Indonesia yesterday drastically reduced its cattle import permits to Australia, to just 50,000 this quarter – prompting Opposition spokesman Joel Fitzgibbon to urge Agriculture Minister Barnaby Joyce to “jump on a plane” to Jakarta to address the trading partners’ relationship."

It seems that we're not the only ones with Abbottototototophobia.

Poirot,

You quote a polemic from a known left whinge journalist that contains solely 2nd or third hand recollections by left whinge student activists. My recollection of student politics in those days is that student run university papers were far left whinge and frugal with the truth and the politics very dirty. I note that of the various crimes that TA was accused of there appeared to be a complete absence of any witnesses.

The only item that had any token of reality is the left whinge dirty trick of trumped up charge of sexual assault where TA proved conclusively that the plaintiff was lying.
