Not from me. Give PM Abbott time. If he disgraces the Office of PrimeMinister as badly as Julia Gillard has then he will deserve at least sandwich but I would hope he gets a tomato, an egg, some yogurt and a Mr Burns pie as well.
Psst. Another piece of orchestrated hysteria looking for Prime Ministerial sympathy.
They even made it look good by suspending Howard Sattler but my guess is he will be back on in no time.
Julia Gillard is so desperate for votes, nothing would surprise me.
And yes, another diversion from the real issues like Rudd snapping at her heals.
Poor Juliar, they are always picking on her. Those naughty mysoganist in blue ties!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What will be her next trick today?????
So are you saying, noco, that you think it's quite in order to ask someone, anyone at all, not necessarily a Prime Minister, about the sexual nature of their relationship?Psst. Another piece of orchestrated hysteria looking for Prime Ministerial sympathy.

I'm not so sure he'll be back.They even made it look good by suspending Howard Sattler but my guess is he will be back on in no time.
Melbourne broadcaster Neil Mitchell said Sattler was a “nice, gentle man” before going on to condemn the interview, which he described as “stupidity on a stick”.
“Now, we all make mistakes, but this was a beauty,” the 3AW presenter said.
It has been suggested that Sattler's contentious line of questioning was prompted by sliding listener figures.
Last month his ratings were down 1.1 points to just 8.4 per cent of the audience in his timeslot.
Sattler has also had some widely publicised health problems, reportedly suffering a stroke last year. Recently, the 67-year-old has spoken about his treatment for Parkinson's Disease.

Howard Sattler's been sacked (ABC Radio Perth).

I agree - I don't think it's any of our business, in fact we don't need to know, about such private matters. As long as the PM is running the country properly and efficiently, that's all that matters.
I disagree. Amongst her supporters, his intrusive questions would bring her considerable sympathy, and even amongst her detractors (such as myself) there will be only condemnation for him.I think he might get more sympathy then her, not because he was right but because everyone dislikes her so much.

I'm glad to know he has been sacked, not because I hold any affection for the Prime Minister, but because such an action at least redresses somewhat the exponentially increasing rudeness which is so characterising our current political scene.

JULIA Gillard's long-time nemesis, the opinion polls, may offer surprise salvation for her this coming fortnight if enough voters feel sorry for her given the increasing attacks she has had to endure.
It would of course be a false rise rather than a genuine sign of recovery. This Prime Minister's goose is well and truly cooked. But that doesn't alter the political significance even a statistically insignificant rise in the polls might have on the Labor leadership.
All indications are that a delicate and tentative process by which a Kevin Rudd comeback might be on the cards is gaining momentum and will come to a head over the next two parliamentary sitting weeks. Rudd admitted yesterday he made mistakes as prime minister. It might seem like an obvious statement, but to the powerbrokers who are considering asking him to return to the prime ministership it was a key statement for him to make.

Our current political scene is 100% the work of Gillard in my opinion, she is a nasty piece of work that never opens her mouth without spewing forth bile and smear
Unlike all of us here at ASF who always communicate with courtesy and respect towards each other.
Those of us who aren't PM are allowed a little slack
"I found the busiest corner in town", said Little Johnny, "I set up a Dip & Chip stand and I gave everybody who walked by a free sample." They all said the same thing, "Hey, this tastes like dog ****!" Then I would say, "It is dog ****, you wanna buy a toothbrush?" I used the Julia Gillard method of giving you some crap, dressing it up so it looks good, telling you it's free, and then making you pay to get the bad taste out of your mouth."
Little Johnny got five stars for his assignment. Bless his heart.
