SR,

Actually, you are making my point, many senators have engaged in extended hyperbole, and when called out on it retract their comments and that is the end of it.

That Carr retracted his obscene comment, and Cash retracted her innuendo was the end of it with the exception of the bed wetting offenderatti.

As for my past comment, my post was:

"Paul,

Adam Bandt is a smaller version of Adolf Hitler, with the same slick dark hair.

We both know that the comparison with Idi Amin, was not primarily for his oratory style, and if you want to carry on playing games I will happily use the same tactics on your "holy" icons, as it seems to engender exactly the reaction in you that you were seeking from others.

If you take things seriously, then I will too."

If you and your impotent wingman OP2 want to continue to make something out of it that was clearly not intended then you are the worst of hypocrites.

Dear Shadow Minister,

No you don't old chap. This was not your point at all until you got exposed.

You called Carr's comments as “far worse”, “vastly worse”, “far more than just stupidity”, “way worse” all very good examples of a 'bed wetting offenderatti'.

What really is far worse is to refer to someone directly as Hilter as you did rather than just as belonging to the Hilter Youth.

At least the trade marked Shadow Minister 'high dudgeon' seems to have disappeared this time.

Time to stop digging, the hole is big enough already.

SR,

I still stand by my first statement that claiming someone is part of the Hitler youth is far worse than some vague innuendo wrt the accused rapist's staff.

That you have managed to dig up my comparison of Bandt's physical likeness to Hitler in response to Paul's comparison of Abbott to Idi Amin is immaterial. Just weeks ago you were calling Molan a war criminal with absolutely zero evidence which is the height of hypocrisy.

You modus operandi is to pick some trivial unconnected issue and conflate it which is exactly what you are trying to do here.

PS Lenin and Stalin between them butchered nearly 20m of their own citizens purely for political expediency before WW2 which makes Hitler silver medalist in genocide, with the bronze going to Mao.

Dear Shadow Minister,

I have already attempted to explain to you the difference between two senators exchanging jibes and the cowardly attacking of the reputations of parliamentary staff who do not have the platform to defend themselves.

That you continue to insist on some sort of equivalence is utterly cynical and contemptible.

Molan is also a senator. He has been directly accused of having forces under his command which committed numerous war crimes. As the 'Command Responsibility Doctrine' dictates he can be held held to account.

As you have used the label accused rapist then I assume you will have little difficulty with me using accused war criminal in the future or won't your hypocrisy permit it?

SR,

Perhaps all the female staffers named by Senator Cash whose reputations were damaged can seek some redress. Wait! that = zero, unless you believe in collective guilt?

Actually, I don't seek equivalence, as the accusation by Carr was far worse.

With regards Molan, when someone has actually filed charges against him then you can call him accused, not on the basis of a fuzzy polemic by a left whinge activist who compares Nethanjahu to Adolf Hitler.

Many people from the Labor Party have been calling Barnaby Joyce a hypocrite, as he spoke of traditional marriage while having an affair. While they agree that politicians' private lives should be kept private, they argued that Mr Joyce positioned himself as a moral guardian and that made it OK to scrutinise his conduct in his personal life.
Those Labor Party people are, themselves, making moral judgements and setting themselves up as holier than thou. We have the right to ask whether their conduct lives up to their own high standards. I have no doubt that many politicians, from all parties, have ended up in bed with staffers. Some of these staffers may have seemed to have benefitted, professionally. Furthermore, Ms Cash would at least be aware of rumors.
The tone of her outburst was unbecoming of a political leader. However, she made a valid point.
