He said "Unfortunately, these things happen". Might as well have said "Shit happens". It was in response to a question about whether legislation needs changing to help prevent this happening again. I guess if it means not saving a buck or reducing workers rights, Abbott isn't really interested.

Out of all the possible answers that Abbott could have given, his response was somewhere between stupid and moronic

The sane people I have spoken to today about the comment all agree it reads/sounds like "shit happens". Do you agree it was an "unfortunate" answer bully?

P.s. Didn't mention Abbott's name until they gave their opinion.

P.p.s Nice to know you will lap it up. :lol:

I am not the one who said abbott said "shit happens"......that would be, um , YOU .

"it is really tragic that this young lad died, it sounded like his father had a mental health issue. we will be reviewing the case and our policy to see whether there is any part of it that needs strengthening, Ill be talking to the relevant people about this. it seems like there might have been an error in policy and we need to make sure that this doesnt happen again"


what would have been wrong with him saying something like that? except for the fact that it is probably too many words than he can muster?

I agree with TSG this pr*ck and his miserable government are interested in only one thing - reducing workers rights & pay. Apart from that, what do they really stand for? Anyway don't blame me, I voted Labor.
