Fat chance, jeez she's a piece of work, apparently.
I am waiting for Julia's apology.

This is still a very smelly episode for the PM.
(or just young and naive)
Q: at what age do you become old and savvy??
A: only after you have been caught out.
...in fact the whole Oz political landscape has Kiwis wondering WTF happened to turn things into such a puerile bitchfest.
That's easy. Gillard and the Handbag Hit Squad....and Abbott's clumsiness with language.
It sure has Labor in a spin.I am waiting for Julia's apology.

Um, I don't see why Ms Gillard should be held responsible for the comment of some comedian (?), especially when she wasn't even in attendance at the time. To suggest that is to lower the Liberal party and its supporters to the nonsense peddled by Labor.I am waiting for Julia's apology.

Who is? Gillard or Peta Credlin?Fat chance, jeez she's a piece of work, apparently.
Yes, that was priceless when she accompanied it by the Julie Bishop stare. A good interview. Even allowed me to consider if she would be an acceptable replacement for Mr Abbott. She doesn't lose her temper, is articulate and calculated in her remarks. Her very elegance would make a significant contrast with the Prime Minister, also.Did anybody catch Julie Bishop on the 7:30 Report tonight? She did pretty good. Julie smashed Leigh for 6 when asked about 'Tony's view on abortion'...when he was Health Minster, nothing changed....BAM!
Last remarks, when she said, 'The pleasure was all mine...............'
Which demonstrates yet again that New Zealanders don't get easily caught up in hysteria.Yes.
But of course NZ has its own vicious one issue hypocrites too: Good Lord any honest appraisal of them would have basilio et al screaming 'misogynist' in an instant... but nobody takes any notice of them here, apart from some mild entertainment value.

The comment itself must have been a doozie.

Craig Emerson walked out when the comment was made.
Oh goodness. So I will.Watch it Julia you'll get caught up in the sexism thing, but aint it the truth.
There was a comment from him on the whole crappy affair on "PM" this evening and he offered the absolutely clear impression that he left because of the remark. I particularly noticed because I thought at the time "ah, Emerson, being oh so careful to look after your image, huh".Actually from what I read in the papers, Craig Emerson said he left shorty after the comment was made.
Trade Minister Craig Emerson said he left the dinner "shortly thereafter". He called the remarks "sexist and deeply offensive" but added that "no one knew that this was coming."

Whether he left because of the joke or just had other things to do, we never will know. I would also be interested in how long was "shortly thereafter"
.
How tedious it is all becoming. If only they would, on both sides, just get on with attempting to run the ****** country!
The PM seems to believe that the best way to protect herself from sunburn is to cover herself in excrement. It may stop the burn, but the smell is permeating every corner of our land. There can be no excuse for the long list of serious errors of judgment. When the crunch comes, she is just not good enough for the office she holds.
Footnote: If Tuesday was the worst day in the life of this government, worse is to come. Soon, the Treasurer will introduce a mini-budget of sorts. You don't need to be an economist to know that the cost of refugees has blown out by billions, the mining tax will raise next to nothing, company tax receipts are way down and GST revenue is tanking.
This mini-budget will be a new low that may make leadership speculation superfluous. Who cares who leads a government that is going down?
"Nero fiddles while Rome burns" keeps coming to mind.
This is the worst era in Oz politics I can ever remember. The Labor party predilection with purported 'misogyny' has sidetracked the whole blinkin' nation on trivia.
Such faux indignation... come on folks, pollies have thick skins. When this is all over, Australia will be ashamed of this childishness (carefully avoiding the now poisoned 'die of shame' phrase).
And FWIW, Dullard did not slap down Abbott at all, rather, the straw man they created.
pffffft

Yes, I agree although I don't know much of her views, but she seems a suitable replacement.
