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. |

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. |

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. |

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 thought this was pretty racist. |

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. It was all about National pride. |

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. |

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. |
