Criticising Abbott for 'associating' with them is criticising those he associates with.
My statement is still correct, BP.
She's criticised his judgement in speaking at a rally and most commentators are saying the same.
I think the political reality is that he's been greatly damaged by this.
I'm not so sure that he has been damaged that much... What people saw on the news is a banner saying what it said... and a Prime Minister that was clearly offended by them and having a go at Abbot... He comes off as having poor judgement, she comes off as being precious and easily offended - neither look good out of it.
