I fail to see why making "a joke in bad taste" should result in the joker being pilloried. Apparently Roxon's war on freedom of speech is becoming acceptable, even among some who claim to be Liberal.
You could take that exact same speech and subsitiute the words Alan Jones for Tim Mathieson.
A joke in bad taste, so whats the difference except Matheison being the PM's partner should have known better, no let him have it just as bad a Jones got it, in fact worse as he had a greater responsibility..
http://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-01-30/gillard-to-outline-spending-cuts/4490728In a speech to be delivered later today, Ms Gillard will say Labor's record of cutting wasteful spending is already strong, but more will be done.
"In the lead-up to and in the budget, we will announce substantial new structural savings that will maintain the sustainability of the budget and make room for key Labor priorities," Ms Gillard will say.
According to excerpts of her speech provided to media outlets, Ms Gillard will describe the cuts as "tough" and "necessary" as the country adjusts to a low-revenue environment.

...but, but, but.....Herr Schwann PROMISED us in effect that Oz would be "raking it in" under the wonderful mining boom created by Labour that would last forever. Awwww. Did the bad man lie?
It was quite funny to see the smile disappear from Ms Gillard's face. I expect Tim was in for some trouble once they were out of the public eye.
Why should Jones joke be a hangable offence and Mathiesons harmless fun ?.
Burns, if you are referring to Alan Jones's statement "Julia Gillard's father died of shame", that was not a joke it was a f***ing disgrace.
Nope it was a joke just the same as saying small Asian Women are best at prostrate exams, now THAT'S a disgrace from the clueless partner of the lizard in the Lodge.
NICOLA Roxon has admitted her proposed anti-discrimination laws were poorly drafted, as the government dropped proposals to prohibit offensive conduct.

I'm waiting for someone from the press gallery to pose a question to TA about it.Geez Doc, that will throw the cat among the pigeons.
All we need is now for Gillard to be arrested over the AWU scandal.

Addressing the National Press Club Tony Abbott did not directly comment on the arrest, but said the Thomson saga brought Prime Minister Julia Gillard’s judgement into question.
“The Thomson matter isn’t just about what Craig Thomson may or may not have done,’’ Mr Abbott said.
“It is always about the judgement of the prime minister.
