Abbott makes another gaffe.


The ABC has reported that Prime Minister Tony Abbott has made another gaffe.

When being interviewed by Fran Kelly on RN Breakfast the Prime Minister was heard to say – “Good Morning”
Kelly quickly jumped on this utterance and questioned the Prime Minister on the fact that he had insulted the “afternoon” by implying that it was bad.

A spokesman for the “afternoon” criticised Abbott for impinging on the respectability of the “afternoon” and that he should not go around the country continually dishing it.

The opposition has also released a statement deriding the Prime Minister for damning the “afternoon” over and over. They reiterated that Abbott was not fit to be Prime Minister.

A Fairfax journalist has blamed Abbott for WW1, WW2, all conflicts in the Middle East, all cyclones which have done damage to the world and the economic mess Labor left behind because of this gaffe.

Sounding like the co pilot did it.

This is too similar to the MH370 disappearance. Perhaps two cases of a rogue pilot bringing down a plane.

It seems too easy. Perhaps all large passenger aircraft need a minimum of three flight crew in the cockpit?

I'm thinking only secular bachelor pilots?

Maybe they need to carry a psychologist, financial advisor, marriage counsellor, and a priest of each pilot's religion.

Back to camel trains, walking and sailing ships.

I think men are about twice as likely to suicide, perhaps only female secular bachelor pilots that are pre menopausal.?

I have been researching that story and my initial conclusion is to take that article with a grain of salt. The writer, Michael Mannheimer, and the blog, PI, appear to be anti-immigration (into Germany) and anti-Muslim. The FB page is just a page "honouring" the co-pilot and could be created by anyone with the intention of blaming this act on Islam.

I would prefer to see some more reputable sources before attaching any credence to the rumour.

Tend to agree, haven't seen anything else yet along the same lines.

These guys/gals will be on to it ahead of most I think.
