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.Alan Jones is the right wing equivalent of leftist David Marrr. They are two obnoxious characters who have a lot in common.
It had to happen. Nicola Roxon says Tony Abbott has to share the blame for Alan Jones's behavior.:screwy:

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 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.
I suppose it depends on what criteria you're making the comparison.I don't think you can compare Alan Jones to David Marr. I would compare Marr more to a Piers Akerman.
What does that have to do with his attacks on politicians?Furthermore, Marr doesn't have a problem with being identified as homosexual.
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.
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.
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”.
Not good at all. They are fighting amongst themselves.

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

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

There is no other reason why the tightly controlled media management that surrounds the Abbott camp would permit such an exercise.
You know Abbotts in trouble when he trots out the wife.

It looks so weird, so desperate, the missus sitting on the morning TV couch crapping on about how sensitive 1 vote Tony is with Tony sitting right there beside her nodding away.
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.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.
