What John Howard - a hasbeen no longer in parliament - did or did not do in the year dot, has nothing whatsoever to do with a question on a currently serving MP. I defended Hanson-Young, even though I loath her and her politics. Alas, some people can't put aside their political bigotry and judge people on their beliefs, not not their humanity.

Sorry for the late response, I have been travelling.

Given the wailing and gnashing of teeth by the greens on the issue of Bertina Arndt, SHY being one of those, the rank hyprocrisy of SHY's support for a admitted wife beater goes further than BA ever did and stinks to high heaven.

As for the feeble attempts at deflection such as the fabricated claim that TA hit a wall near a left whinge student activist in a crowded student union building (for which there were zero witnesses) is pathetic.

As for Howard, his character reference was in respect to his dealings with Pell.

Paul's feeble bleatings in defense of SypHY is a joke.

In typical SM fashion, the big lie is wheeled out once more. I said it was a bad political decision on SHY part. As for Little Johnny Howard's sympathy for the convicted paedophile Pell, understandable given they are such good mates. Isn't The Mad Monk a mate as well? Maybe ScumO' is a mate also, is it a Liberal PM thing?
Should choose your mates carefully!

Paul,

Glad that you agree that SHY is like Bertina Arndt and that you think that she is not a fit and proper person as well as being a complete moron.

Similarly, using your logic the greens are great mates with wife beaters.

Dear Shadow Minister,

Welcome back, you have been missed.

Now what on earth did this little snippet mean?

"As for Howard, his character reference was in respect to his dealings with Pell."

SR,

Work it out, if you are struggling I can point you in the direction of a high school english student.
