Gillard should go!

[Jimmy_041]

By the looks of it, Gillard linked the two issues herself

[Gozu]

Appalling stuff from Abbott, what a low life grub.

[scoob]

So if anyone ever says die of shame its now automatic that you are referring to Mr Gillard?

Abbott did not even mention his name and actually said the government...

[southee]

Just Labor media spinners using the "dying of shame" catch phase as a deflection of their own poor performances .

This issue needs to be done with and Labor need to start getting on with it !!

Top observation scoob

[Dogwatcher]

Why else would Abbott use it? The word, in Australian political context, is now intrinsically linked with Alan Jones' horrible comments and will be for some time to come. If he isn't agreeing with Jones, he's certainly using the word to remind Gillard of the hurt that's been caused by it. Using the word once, you might not question. Using it repeatedly is aiming for a target. If you don't think so, I believe you're either naive or too one eyed to care.

Shame. Shame. Shame. Was the catch cry of Derryn Hinch a long time before Alan Jones every got a hold of it...

If she is that precious and takes things the wrong way she shouldn't be in the job.

In one breath they accuse Abbot of sexist comments and then the next they vote slipper to remain as speaker after all the sexiest things he has done... Hypocrisy at its finest.

The manufacturing industry is going to rat sh1t, the construction industry is gone, mining industry looking dodgy and these f@#kers are squabbling about this sh1t and calling each other names... FFS grow up, do your job and run the country.

[dedja]

meanwhile, the country lies in ruins ...

[southee]

Your right scoob .

We are all talking about a utter trivial matter but not talking about how the country is going down the toilet very fast ....

... This is what Labor want !!

[Sky Pilot]

Yeah, due to the unbelievable incompetence of the Green Labor coalition. A pox on them. Gillard will go down in history as our worst PM and I challenge any lefties out there to praise her up. The longer they cling to power the poorer our country will become.

Tend to agree scoob. They should have cut him loose today and I reckon their failure to do so is going to cost them big time...

[Jimmy_041]

He's done it himself now
Poor choice of words by Abbott today - left himself wide open

[fish]

...the affects of the Carbon Tax are just starting to be felt, as families and small business receive their winter electricity bills.

It should be pointed out that, according to this article the carbon tax will only account for around a quarter of the electricity price rise.

Spot on. Abbott doesn't do anything by accident. A deliberate statement by a mean spirited person.

Well according to your side of the political world, he has made many accidents in his political career.

I think this was a minor "slip of the tongue".

My side???

And point two - bulldust.

[Cambridge Clarrie]

If I was her father, I'd have died of shame....

What a joke this whole Jones thing has been . As Southee said, nothing but a distraction to Gillard's failures.

You've actually outdone yourself there Clarrie. Well done.

Spot on Clarrie! Like I said this "shame" issue has done on way too long and is getting tiring now.....tiring like what the current government have become.

I can see them in the Labor boardrooms at the start of the day going " Keep running with it guys..."

Its a total BS smokescreen to pull at peoples heart strings and forget about how the country is a mess.
