+1 they are all behaving deplorably.
You're right on one thing, I have heard ALP members go on, including with hyperbole, about Abbott. But I have equally seen the opposition do the same with Gillard, et al so I really scratch my head when you say that it's just one side going on about it.
In no way am I saying two wrongs make a right in this context, I genuinely think that they all do it because it has been demonstrated time and time again that it works. It will only stop when people don't treat it as acceptable behaviour. In many way, it reminds me of the tribal violence problem where grudges are held for generations with no apparent real benefit, yet it continues.
What a wanker this Brendon O'Connor is accusing Abbott of pulling some kind of stunt when he has been with the Rural Fire fighters for 2 decades.
It is a pity O'Connor and some of his Green/labor socialist left wing cronnies didn't get off the lazy a$ses and help out too.
Unlike Gillard who has been out and about looking for Cameras where ever she can without contrbuting to the cause. Talk about pulling stunts, Gillard is a past master at it.
The Labor Party is full of hypocrisy.

There is no chance the Greens will join the fire brigade they just want to increase fuel burden.

It's an interesting notion about the Greens. I wonder where it came from and how it fits into the general political discussion.
As expected, right on queue.
Yeah but no one is elaborating on where this meme comes from
I suspect most people would find both Gillard and Abbott decent people if they knew them in person.
In your opinion, what is the worst and most political attack you have seen on Abbott? Are there no analogous political attacks on Gillard?
Obviously the latest attack on Abbotts reasons to be in the fire brigade, somewhat answers your question.
Also may throw in his reasons for visiting aboriginal communities, may as well throw in his reasons for doing triathalons and hiring female heads of staff.
Yep, they really have him pegged.
It's a shame they judge him by their own standards.
The reason I brought it up on this thread was the Greens are just as vocal as Labor in their condemnation of Abbott.
Therefore when his reasons for giving up his time to fight bushfires, is brought into question, I thought it was pertinent.
Can you give me a link to someone in the Labor Party who has got off their ar$e to do anything physical.
Maybe "beds are burning" you can't throw me out Garrett was out there doing something?
Aren't these guys talking about the actions of the Greens rather than some words on their website, though?I'm not disagreeing with your distaste for for what you perceive as a petty dig at Abbott for his efforts. I am however questioning why people on this forum seem intent to imply or accuse the Greens with some sense of blame for some of the victims when it can be actually demonstrated that the accusation can't be reconciled with what the Greens publish on their website.

Like I've said before, the political d'etente has decended to to a carpark stop work meeting level.
I appreciate that your recent posts in this thread have been thoughtful and reasonable. I'm just having a bit of difficulty understanding just what you mean with this comment about the Greens. Could you perhaps express it a bit differently?I'm not disagreeing with your distaste for for what you perceive as a petty dig at Abbott for his efforts.

I'm personally feeling more than usually disgusted with the Greens on account of their absolute support for this Jonathan someone who, with his squalid camp in the bush, we would once have called a hippie and his totally irresponsible actions re Whitehaven Coal. It is to the Labor Party's complete discredit that they are in coalition with a party which supports fraud.
Fuel reduction = reducing things that burn (ie. over-grown forestry)Hence my questions about where the meme has come from?

Whilst I am not sure what happens in reality, people just make the connection for memes such as this, simply like I just did without much thought (again I am not saying anyone is right or wrong, just demonstrating the thought process as I see it).
