I don't think you can compare Alan Jones to David Marr. I would compare Marr more to a Piers Akerman. Furthermore, Marr doesn't have a problem with being identified as homosexual.

Jones has been caught with his pants down before! He is a vile little bag of bile. No wonder he was asked to leave his the King's college when he was teacher there.

It had to happen. Nicola Roxon says Tony Abbott has to share the blame for Alan Jones's behavior.:screwy:

I heard that interview on ABC News Radio and could not believe the reporter let what Roxon said go unchallenged. It was unbelievably biased. There was no mention whatsoever of Abbott's speech in parliament where he mentioned of how proud Julia's father must have been on his daughter becoming PM. Just Roxon allowed to draw the most tenuous of links to make it look like Abbott had said what Jones said.

One way to insult Marr, Marr attacks Labor as well as Coalition, is well versed with the law and doesn't use offence language when attacking Abbott.

Marr also doesn't make a Motza out of being a shock Jock talking rubbish.

Also don't remember Marr being the guest speaker at a Labor function.

Not only that, Alison Carabine, the ABC journalist, actually put the words in Roxon's mouth with her leading questions. I've never heard anything like it, even on the ABC. A total disgrace from the purportedly non-aligned public broadcaster.

I suppose it depends on what criteria you're making the comparison.
I'd say they are both capable of equal levels of viciousness. David Marr is just capable of veiling it more cleverly because he's more adept with language.

Furthermore, Marr doesn't have a problem with being identified as homosexual.

What does that have to do with his attacks on politicians?
So far as I know, the various competitors in the game of who can be most vicious have yet to use their opponents' sexual preferences as fodder.
 
Tony Windsor pops his head up again, and the SMH misrepresents what he has previously said,

In a long tirade, Mr Windsor also accused Mr Abbott of saying he was willing to do anything for the prime ministership, including implementing a carbon tax, during the 17 days of negotiations following the 2010 hung election.

What Tony Windsor actually said,

The Leader of the Opposition is well aware of the discussions that were held. It was a condition of the formation of government. He was prepared to do anything if in fact he'd been called upon, and if he had been asked to put in place an Emission Trading Scheme or a carbon tax for that matter, he would well have done it.

The fact that he wasn't asked is something of very, very good judgement in my view.

What is clear is from the above is that Tony Windsor didn't pricing carbon with Tony Abbott, but one is not left with that impression from the SMH article.
 
Not good at all. They are fighting amongst themselves.

The man who has put himself forward for Nationals preselection for Hume, James Harker-Mortlock, said Mr Schultz’s stance demonstrated “the difference between what you get with a Liberal MP versus what you could expect to get from a National MP”.

The leadership need to bring the broader Coalition to a consensus on this and quickly.

Liberals joining the fray as well blocking Howard's deregulation of wheat is an extraordinary step given its the final step of a long process maybe Windsor can fix it up for Abbott?

Tony Windsor will keep his cards close to this chest while the Coalition fight amongst themselves over this in the hope that it weakens Tony Abbott's leadership.

For TA, this may prove to be the defining test, both as a leader and as an economic reformist.

She was a joy to listen to, smart, interesting and real change from the norm and a stark contrast to the idiot in the Lodge now.

+2. She comes across well. Not so sure, however, about the strategy. It was being well and truly mocked on ABC Radio this evening.
Wow, what a surprise:banghead:
