Alan Jones has no shame

Tony Abbott also has no shame.

What a shameful display by the opposition leader in using the phrase "This is a government which this morning is almost dying of shame at its own incompetence."

Abbott has lowered himself to the same level of his mate that old bitter queen Alan Jones.

We've already been through this, Abbott has used that term many times he wasnt referring to Gillards father, it was Gillard who brought her fathers death into the argument.

It was extremely stupid of Tony Abbott to choose to use this phrase. Hard to believe he did it unwittingly.
Of course it would bring the government down hard on him and deservedly so, under all the preceding circumstances.
I'd have thought someone with his years of experience would have learned to avoid tactical blunders like this.

Perhaps he thought he could actually get away with it? If so, such a notion also condemns him.

What has Jones' sexual orientation have to do with anything?

If I were a labor pollie I would automatically call you spiteful and homophobic for making such a remark. Oh hang on, it's Alan Jones, that's OK, call him what you like, different set of rules for those not of the left :rolleyes:

It all depends how one would read into the context of Abbott's quote.

It may well be that some will twist it around to make out Abbott was referring to Gillard's deceased father. Some do make a habit of it just to blacken Abbott's name.
 
He used the phrase today.

Abbott is a spiteful little prick.

Yes, because he had used it before in parliament long before Alan Jones had used it in relation to Gillard's father. It was Gillard herself who chose to use it in relation to her father today.

As for spite, the only spite I saw came from Gillard, trying to claim misogyny and sexism came from Abbott every day - utterly farcical.

Gillard has no shame. It's a problem that Abbott speaking the truth, incurs Gillard's spiteful response, simply because Jones has rendered the phrase "dying of shame" off limits and politically incorrect.

Yeh because the Libs no longer represent ordinary business or farmers as was the case in the 70's, even Labor is right of centre.

Worth listening seriously to young people as they, are the here and now. What we think we know,(from the past) is now forgotten by the multitudes who are doing it hard on the ground to just survive each day. And I am talking about Australia.

Well worth getting out and about working among the poor. A good change from talking on chat rooms too.

Well that has to take the cake.:D

What about parents who did it really tough and are now still proping up their adult children.
When they should be sitting back and enjoying the fruits of their labor.(P.M me if you want a debate on that mate)
Worth listening to the young people, funny you should mention that.
I was up in the Goldfields seeing the grand kids on the weekend and my son was saying, these young blokes(he is only 34) are unbelievable.
He cracked me up by saying he sings a song to them.
"What about me, I know jack $hit but I don't care, I want my share"
The U generation is coming through, I think all us need to follow Peter Garrets lead.
Run for a seat in government, then rivet your ar$e in there to get a pension.
This may not be as funny as it seems, the next generation don't care, it might be quite easy.
I will check it out tommorrow.

I think it was a purpose play to get Gillard to go on a rant and then look hypocritical by defending slipper. Gillard using her own father as political points is beyond repugnant.

+1 Tony is smart, he has used that phrase a lot before but probably know Gillard would bite if he used it again, she couldn't control herself. There is no way you could say it was a deliberate ploy if you look back and see hoew he's used it before.

Oh and for the record Gillard is the spiteful one , game on HA.

(I deleted the word bitch it was just a reponse to the word "prick" being used against Tony Abbott - I wont lower myself)

Gillards sexism ploy will come back and bite Labor in the ass if they don't deal with her now.
If she pushes the 'strong women' tagline and keeps the sexism and how hard it is being the first female PM talk up Labor is then in the precarious position of looking like a bunch of mean mysoginists if they move against her.

The movie "The Ship That Died of Shame" (1955) has now been banned in Australia.:screwy: Anyone using the phrase will be subject to a tirade of abuse from Gillard, and labelled a misogynist pig.

I couldn't believe my ears!
 
If it were possible to die of shame, then the 70 members who voted yesterday to retain sleazebag Slipper as Speaker. would now be among the walking dead. Instead we have that awful hypercritical woman Tanya Plibersek, saying that Abbott's language is worse.

She repeatedly said that Abbott was trying to "smash the place up" and even "blow the place up".:rolleyes:

Gillard, Roxon and Plibersek have absolutely no shame.

Noco, what rock have you been lying under for the last week.

If Julia Gillard were a man, she/he would be justified in breaking Tony Abbott's "glass jaw".

Abbott is one real tough guy, a man amongst women and a boy amongst men.

Lovely. The left goes from gross misrepresentations to disproportionate threats of violence in one fell swoop.

Very classy
