Title: Tanya Plibersek
Post by Armchair_Politician on May 31st, 2012 at 6:02pm
Someone in Tanya Plibersek's (ALP) office has put up posters that insinuate that Tony Abbott is racist, homophobic and sexist. She has also refused to apologise to him for these posters, saying that they were "sattire". If that is what passes for sattire in the ALP, then that truly is pathetic. Can anyone imagine the uproar if the posters had been in a Liberal office and showed a picture of Julia Gillard with similar comments? We'd have not heard the end of it! The hypocrisy and double-standards of the ALP are atrocious.

Why should she apologise? Did she put them up? Perhaps  you expect a poster proclaiming Abbott as the saviour in her office?

Firstly, he has never said Gillard (I'm assuming that's who you're referring to) has a fat ass or any variation of that wording. He has always been strident in his condemnation of any personal attacks on Gillard based on her marital status or physique on the basis that people should respect the office she occupies even if they don't respect her as a person.

Secondly, I hardly think that one would be anywhere near as insulted being called a thug as they would be if called sexist, homophobic or racist. Grow up.

The people standing behind him holding the placards had every right to stand there - free speech. Should his minders have ordered them to move or frog-marched them off if they refused? Then we'd have seen you complain his people were denying people their right to free speech. The stage couldn't be moved and he came down to address protesters. So what should he have done? At least those protesters were peaceful (if passionate) and didn't trash Parliament House and injure staff, unlike Union-led protesters prior to Howard's first budget. Your hypocrisy is astonishing.

Which means that Tanya Plibersek's staff have every right to put up the posters. Free speech you know!

And did anyone hold a gun to Rabbott's head and demand he stand in front of those posters? Or did he choose to go along with them?

And you talk about hypocrisy?

Spot on

You get the lefties trying to support Turnbull to take over as leader and you KNOW they are desparate.

Turnbull's numbers were terrible.

All that I expect her to do is say that it was wrong, and reprimand her staffer. It may not be her fault per se, but she is inherently involved. If she doesn't do so, then I see her as a hypocrite in the highest order, especially after her comments on last night's 7.30 Report, about the immature behaviour politicians. A shame, too, I used to think so highly of her.

The problem with this assertion is????????????


For one, he certainly isn't homophobic - his sister is in a same-sex relationship![/quote]


Yes she is and he doesnt support her either. Not last I heard. Just because his sister is gay doesnt mean he isnt homophobic. Geez he wears red speedos.

The Libs are coming across as hypocritical and petty with their childlike whinging about the signs. They've thrown so much mud on Labor over the past few years - yet carry on like babies when it's thrown back.

This is typical coalition behaviour both by the politicians and their supporters. They can dish out the insults easily enough but squeal if someone dares to respond with a similar comment.

The posters were hung at Tanya's office by her staff which Tanya is ultimately responsible ie it's as though she hung them up herself

So do the laborites either support these actions or they don't

Yup.   Tony is homophobic, and sexist.  No one can argue against that with a straight face.

He is old school. 1950's style. That what the 30% who want him as PM like about him.

Yet another example of disgusting, arrogant, childish and blatantly and unbelievably hypocritical behaviour from Labor. The left are like this, they go on and on about the right saying anything critical of them at all, yet, it's okay for them. Just look at all of the crap that Pauline Hanson faced, and still does face. And it's all totally untrue. Mr Abbott is none of those three things. He, like me, is firmly against homosexual marriage, but that doesn't mean that he's homophobic. Sexist? Give me one example. Racist? Again, give me an example.

Disgusting behaviour from Tanya, and hypocritical in the extreme, considering that she's been one of the most vocal in expressing regret at immature behaviour like this. As for those posters posted in this thread, they were not posted in his office. They were held up at a rally that he attended. I was there that day, in the Australian Capital Territory.

Well both sides do it because we all get dragged into it from one or the other.

What you will find is that the left have at their core, a bit like humans know they can get on their feet or can hold a spoon, is that they can call a righty racist, sexist or homophobe.

My theory is that it is inbred, like their family tree's and is hard coded into their dna.

Well both sides do it because we all get dragged into it from one or the other.

What you will find is that the left have at their core, a bit like humans know they can get on their feet or can hold a spoon, is that they can call a righty racist, sexist or homophobe.

My theory is that it is inbred, like their family tree's and is hard coded into their dna.


Good point. I do tend to see that those on the left do tend to be more bigoted, though; ie, they can't handle a different opinion. It's not exclusive to the left, of course, but it's more noticeable/commonplace, in my opinion.

Sounds as though you think people might suspect you of being a lefty Matty; so you ought to be gratified when they affirm that they do indeed see you as a racist, sexist, robber of the poor and money worshipper.

This one time when I was at uni - I heard Tony Abbott (guest lecturer Intro to Aus Politics) ask the lecturer how many Australians there were in the class?

The lecturer said that there were some Full Fee Paying Overseas students but probably 95% were Australian

Looking around at the predominantly Asian audience (it was Economics @ Sydney Uni) he said "No how many REAL Australians"

I personally think Plibersek's office has insulted her own electorate that they need to sink to this kind of level.

It was pointed out at the last election in a big way people are sick of the negative advertising that was going on, and the political parties just havent got the message.

It saddens me that a sitting member in a governing party needs to focus their attention to an opposition.  She should be focusing her advertising on what she has done for her electorate, not Tony Abbott.

Hitler used whatever name would facilitate his rise to power.
Go read some history especially the obligations of Germany within the Versailles treaty ending WW1.
You'll find that the the socialist part of the party name had very little in common with what we now regard as socialism in an economic sense.

Matty I didn't call all RWingers extreme, I called you extreme and I'm quite sure that in a call up for the Heitler, Stalin or Franco youth teams, you'd've camped out overnight to sign up.


Wasn't Hitler in the German Socialist party?


Hitler used whatever name would facilitate his rise to power.
Go read some history especially the obligations of Germany within the Versailles treaty ending WW1.
You'll find that the the socialist part of the party name had very little in common with what we now regard as socialism in an economic sense.
It was all about National pride.


Hitler was a disgusting and evil man, much more so than Gillard. Skippy's post below is disgraceful, but sadly not totally shocking, coming from him. I am sure that you would agree, Smithy.


You asked on the other thread,
That is why you get far right.
Equating any Australian political leader past or present with a despot is smacking lunacy.
More than a few of posters who usually agree with you would and should be disgusted with that sort of comment >:(

Hitler was greatly misunderstood..he was a fine socialist that would have made a magnificent modern Greens leader.


Well he had the hatred of the Jews pretty sorted.
That would put him on a decent footing for Greens leadership.

Step forward Adolf errr Rhiannon.

Their black aren't they?
Pretty sure seeing he loved eugentics and blacks are considered a sub class in that we can assume he hated them too.
That and his reaction to Jessie Owens in the 36 Olympics


Quote:
On the first day, Hitler shook hands only with the German victors and then left the stadium. Olympic committee officials insisted Hitler greet every medalist or none at all. Hitler opted for the latter and skipped all further medal presentations.[10][11] On reports that Hitler had deliberately avoided acknowledging his victories, and had refused to shake his hand, Owens said at the time:

    "Hitler had a certain time to come to the stadium and a certain time to leave". "It happened he had to leave before the victory ceremony after the 100 meters. But before he left I was on my way to a broadcast and passed near his box. He waved at me and I waved back. I think it was 'bad taste' to criticize the man of the hour in another country".[12]

Away from the public eye, Hitler expressed his true feelings and disgust at Owens. Albert Speer, Hitler's architect and later war armaments minister, later recollected:

    Each of the German victories, and there were a surprising number of these, made him happy, but he was highly annoyed by the series of triumphs by the marvelous colored American runner, Jesse Owens. People whose antecedents came from the jungle were primitive, Hitler said with a shrug; their physiques were stronger than those of civilized whites and hence should be excluded from future games.[13]

When it comes to manipulation of the masses for political gain they aren't even in the same league.
Abbotts lead in the polls is far more Labors fault as opposed to Abbotts actions.

It goes very much like this. If you are not of the left ideology and it looks like you are winning the argument or you may win power or win against the left, then you are most assuredly racist, sexist or homophobe.

The Germans were not the only ones at the time who wanted to annihilate the Jews.
At the time France was expected to inflict a holocaust on the Jewish people before the Germans gave it a go.
There are very good reasons why the Jewish refugee ships were turned away from every port they tried to dock at so lets not fall for the trap of history being written by the victors and wiping their own crimes and human rights abuses from the history books.
Next time around we should just let the Germans have Europe because the rest of them have no idea of how to run an economy.

Heh. So one has to wonder why the jews are not liked. Perhaps its their disproportionate reaction to things. Perhaps its their attitude that they are better than anyone else and the rest of us are cattle. Perhaps its the way they claim to be a "race" when they are a religion. Perhaps its something else. They keep pissing ppl off though throughout history. They arent martyrs. They are trolls.

We should also note that the Jews do not mention all the others the Germans inflicted the haulocaust on.
The mother of a Polish friend of mine lost all of her family apart from her brother to the gas chambers and no one in their family is Jewish.
Do the Jews only care about themselves and if so that may be the reason they have problems making friends.

Yes he was but nameings do not change reality. American 'Freemarket Anarchists' are RW despite Anarchists being generally of the Left. Fascists are extreme RW. The fact of their belief in 'Might is right' their support from, even instigation by, the Catholic church, their adoption of Uniformity, their trust in the Absolute power and will of the hierarchy and desire for territorial expansion, all out weigh any consideration they may have shown for the betterment of workers.

It was the National socialists, one of the first things Hitler done when he took control of the party was to dump the socialists.

Even though they kept the name most people agree that the Nazi's were politically on the extreme right.
