The Gillard Government

[Calliope]

Gee, roo and goanna must be fattening

Especially if it is washed down with endless cartons of taxpayer funded VB.

 

[noco]

Just thinking further on the same thread. If the guy was a senior advisor, as reported, he would be a goose to make the call without passing it by Julia.
Falling on his sword is probably the only out. But one would think he may have problems on the job market.
Actually if the police get involved and start looking up phone call records( who called who at what time), could be an interesting time.

Nah, she will find him a couchy job some where in the ALP consortium. Probably one of those $150,000 jobs.

He is a 'scap goat' for her witout a doubt.

It is obvious that Gillard has several well paid staffers whose main job is to gather dirt on opposition members. They are give the highfalutin title of "press secretaries." Their main job is to gather the dirt and persuade the media to run with it.

 

[Knobby22]

From Paul Sheehan in the Brisbane Times:
"The image of the self-appointed spokesman for Aborigines, Paul Coe, holding Prime Minister Julia Gillard's shoe and calling for her to 'show an act of good faith' and come to the Aboriginal tent embassy in Canberra and collect it - when exactly the opposite was required - reminded me of the last time I encountered Coe.

It was on the steps of a court. Coe had just been struck from the roll of barristers for professional misconduct.

The NSW Legal Services Tribunal found he had filed an affidavit, that was 'substantially false, was known by him to be false and was sworn with the intention of deceiving the court ... the tribunal has not received from Mr Coe any acknowledgement that he recognises and regrets his wrongdoing ... '"

Thanks Logique

Yes, what scum.
Using his barrister abilities, dishonesty and poor judgement to damage the indigenous people.

Mmmmmmm Pauline did time beat that.

The "press secretaries" did their job well spreading lies to the media.

'Mr Anderson, tear down this tent!', and other stuff Abbott didn't get around to saying
BY: CUT&PASTE From: The Australian January 28, 2012 12:00AM

TONY Abbott on 2UE yesterday:

I CERTAINLY didn't say (the tent embassy) should be torn down. I think it's most unfortunate that some people verballed me and as a result stirred people up.

Sky News's Susanne Latimore early on Thursday afternoon:

A PROTEST by indigenous people who were unhappy about calls by Tony Abbott to close down the Aboriginal tent embassy . . .

Stirring words. Tent embassy co-founder Michael Anderson on Thursday:

HE (Abbott) said the Aboriginal embassy had to go, we heard it on a radio broadcast . . . You've got 1000 people here peacefully protesting and to make a statement about tearing down the embassy -- it's just madness on the part of Tony Abbott. What he said amounts to inciting racial riots.

Ten News on Thursday night:

THE protest was launched by Aborigines from the nearby Aboriginal tent embassy, sparked by Tony Abbott who said the embassy, now in its 40th year, should be shut down.

Yahoo! 7 News on Thursday:

TIME for tent embassy to fold: Abbott.

Dave Hughes on The Project:

DRAMATIC scenes for the PM and Tony Abbott today . . . It followed Abbott's suggestion that the embassy should be dismantled.

Triple M's Grill Team on Twitter yesterday:

SHOULD the tent embassy be pulled down?

Christine Milne yesterday:

MR Abbott's ill-considered remarks demonstrate the need to officially recognise all elements of Australia Day.

And he was a bastard! Possibly. Jack Waterford in The Canberra Times:

YET reasonably close behind the PM was Abbott -- at no stage in any appearance of danger. He was grinning, in what some will claim, probably unfairly, was Gillard's discomfort.

A shover, not a fighter. Triple M's Grill Team on Twitter yesterday:

TENT embassy's Michael Anderson on Triple M: "I have a distinct feeling that Tony Abbott may have pushed her (PM) down the stairs."

Just wondering if the blue rinse set here felt the same way way when Howard and Abbott were playing grubby politics

 

[drsmith]

Another piece of the puzzle ?

The tent embassy has now revealed the head of Unions ACT, Kim Sattler, was the person who informed the protesters of Mr Abbott's location.

Yes, yes, we all know. It's Tony Abbott's fault.

It's Labor who has been caught red-handed.

Activists say they did not know Ms Gillard would be at the restaurant with Mr Abbott.

Oops!

todster, just admit the ALP appartchiks are grubs over the disrespect to the Emergency Workers getting their medals.

Gillard did.

Just move your lips and type it.

[Calliope]

Ther is little doubt the whole affair was set up by mischief makers Tony Hodges and his confidante, unionist Ms Kim Sattler. Hodges probably thought he was only setting up Abbott to be waylaid when he left the restaurant.

One of the founders of the tent embassy, Michael Anderson, said Ms Sattler had spoken to him as well.

"She came and then she went away and, because I didn't respond, she went to other people," he said.

"All she said was `Michael, the prime minister's office would like to talk to you'."

Mr Anderson said he believed the protest outside the restaurant on Thursday was a set-up.

"Someone set us up. They set the prime minister up. They set Abbott up," he said.

"And they knew that feelings and emotions were running high here and I think they knew that reaction would occur."

[Calliope]

Even Mike Carlton, who is the Fairfax Press chief Abbott hater had to concede;

And Abbott cannot be blamed for somehow inflaming the mob. His remarks that morning about it being time to move on from the Aboriginal embassy were innocuous enough. Many indigenous leaders think the same thing.
