Not at all. I've been very critical of Tony Abbott and do not regard him as any sort of saviour for Australia.And you're only posting this because someone is picking on Abbott!!! LOL Snap! Have a great weekend Julia.
I agree by the way. Just poking fun.I just don't like gratuitous mocking of anyone's physical features, whomever it is.
Criticise performance and policies by all means, but it is indeed 'crass' to laugh at the way someone walks.

"When you get rid of the carbon tax, you don't need the carbon tax compensation. Now we'll certainly keep paying a substantial proportion of that - exactly how much, we'll say closer to the election," Mr Abbott said on Monday.
"Families will be better off under the Coalition, no doubt about it. And if you don't have a carbon tax, you don't have to have compensation."
You might like to quote posts where I have mocked Ms Gillard's appearance. Re her voice, yes, like much of the population I find her strident tones just awful to listen to.Given the criticism on Gillards appearance and your own gratuitous mocking on the sound of her voice why the sudden high moral ground?

That is just a statement of fact or preference. It is not derision or mockery.
Quite different from likening someone's walk to that of a chimpanzee.
My main point, which you are conveniently overlooking, is your hypocrisy in saying that you find comments about personal traits crass, then going on to tell us how amused you were at exactly that directed at Tony Abbott.
Make up your mind. Either it's inappropriate to proliferate derisory mocking of any politician or it isn't.
End of my response to this silly matter.
Thanks for clearing that up using your standards then I am OK as Abbott has on occasion walked like a chimpanzee that is a fact.
I certainly wouldn't however say he acts like a chimp that would be derogatory.................to chimps.
Funny I thought I was being crass.
If you got up close you'd see he walks like a boxer/tough guy which, by the way, he is.
A man who confronts a woman against a wall and punches the wall next to her head is no tough guy.
Abbott is a gutless wimp.

Thats a load of communist rubbish of which you are a great fan no doubt.
Yeah! Nearly as bad as plling ouy the Tony unched a wall argumentWhen you run out of argument, pull out the old "reds under the beds".
about punching wall (even if it did happen) I still prefer that to a corrupt thief as a country leaderWhen you run out of argument, pull out the old "reds under the beds".
Hockey needs to be shuffled out as shadow treasurer. He doesn't have the backbone to hold the position. At least Tbull would tell Abbott there isn't a endless money supply to fund every scheme.
There are two possible explanations for how an opposition presenting itself as an alternative government could end up with an $11 billion hole in the cost of its election commitments.
One is that they are liars, the other is that they are clunkheads. Actually there is a third explanation: they are liars and clunkheads.
But whatever the combination, they are not fit to govern.
Laura Tingle got it right after the last election as far as I can see nothings changed
