Don't be hard on poor old Focus. It goes against every grain of his rusted on Leftist instincts to make a statement like;
Perhaps he is seeking absolution.

The Sky News interviewer didn't have to push too hard with the questions to the chef.
This was a self crucifiction on national television. The interviewer seem surprised with the ease in which the self incriminating answers came. Chef David Carter has clearly had no media training.

I note that Kevin Rudd has been very quiet today.

I'll leave it to IFocus to clarify, but I read that as very, very much tongue in cheek, sarcastic if you like.Don't be hard on poor old Focus. It goes against every grain of his rusted on Leftist instincts to make a statement like;

If the Twitter reports are to be believed, Howard Sattler has been suspended from 6PR by Fairfax Media for his questions to the PM today on whether Tim was gay. Sattler was completely offline in his interview and has probably added some sympathy votes to Gillard that she wouldn't otherwise have after this week's fiascos. It also adds credence to Gillard's line that misogyny/sexism is rife in conservative (aka Liberal) politics, as Sattler is an outspoken Liberal advocate.

I haven't heard the interview, but reading the transcript from the ABC link below, I wonder whether it was tongue in cheek.

It couldn't have been a serious line of questioning, surely.

The interview;
Sattler: Rumours, snide jokes, innuendoes... You've been the butt of them many times.
Gillard: Well, I think that's probably right; we've certainly seen a few this week.
S: Can I test a few out?
G: In what way?
S: ‘Tim's gay’.
G: Well...
S: I'm saying... That's a myth.
G: That's absurd.
S: You hear it! 'He must be gay; he's a hairdresser.' ...but you've heard it! It's not me saying it, it's what people say!
G: Well, I mean, Howard - I don't know whether every silly thing that gets said is going to be repeated to me now--
S: No no no--
G: You know, to all the hairdressers out there, including to all the men who are listening: I don't think, in life, one can actually look at a whole profession full of different human beings and say, 'Gee, we know something about every one of those human beings.’ I mean, it's absurd, isn't it?
S: You can confirm that he's not?
G: Howard, don't be ridiculous. Of course not.
S: No, but, are you in a heterosexual relationship - that's all I'm asking!
G: Look, Howard, you and I have just talked about that. So now, that is bordering--
S: No, no, I want to get rid of it--
G: Let me just - let me just bring you back to earth.
S: I'm not saying it!
G: Right, well, let me just bring you back to earth. You and I have just talked about me and Tim living at the Lodge. We live there together as a couple. You know that. Yes, on the internet, you know, there are lots of, you know - what I've referred to in the past as nutjobs, and I'm happy to use the expression again; people who peddle and circulate vile and offensive things.
S: Awful things.
G: Yes, absolutely.
S: Okay, we've put paid to all that now, let's get back to the election coming up.

Yes, it sounded to me that the lawyer, blew away the burnt out shock jock, clap,clap ,clap
Does it matter whether it was tongue in cheek? Either way he's a moron. Can you imagine the American press pursuing a similar line of questioning with Obama about his wife?

Obviously the lawyer, is going to line up the pro coalition reporters and take them on. Great play, but won't make any difference to the result.IMO
It is a shame all this creative thinking that has come to the fore, didn't manifest itself earlier in process.
Maybe then they would be seen as the saviours, rather than the scourge.

Agree with above posts.
I have noticed alot more people are becoming very frustrated and verbal against our PM and the Labor party, all saying we shouldnt have to wait until September, we have had enough.
She does not represent us women and is an embarressment.
The more they play the gender card, the bigger the hole they dig.
Agree with comments, she has taken the cause backwards.
They are in for a wipe out, well and truly.

Julia is is being deliberately duplicitous in pretending that the Thighgate menu was designed as a put-down of her.

Juliar can certainly hand out the abuse, but is always very critical of those when on the receiving end!!

I think Sattler went too far, and got his just deserts, being suspended by the station.
You don't treat any PM like that.

He did go too far, his attitude was it was light a hearted segment but when he persisted it went too far but the annoying part is we will have to hear about this for a week or until the next episode of "Julia is offended by men" hits the news waves.
