Opposition on back foot in sexism row after menu's crude, sexist attacks on Julia Gillard's body The Opposition has been forced on to the back foot in the row over sexism in politics, after a Liberal Party fundraising menu which contained crude references to Prime Minister Julia Gillard's breasts, thighs and genitalia emerged online. The menu was used at a dinner for about 20 people hosted by former Howard government minister and now Coalition candidate Mal Brough in Brisbane on March 28. Opposition Treasury spokesman Joe Hockey was the guest of honour. It featured a dish called "Julia Gillard Kentucky Fried Quail - Small Breasts, Huge Thighs & A Big Red Box". Mr Brough has apologised and says the menu was written by a non-party member who thought it would be "humorous" but is now "deeply apologetic". The Liberal National Party has released a statement saying the "content of the menu card was absolutely unacceptable and has no place at any LNP event." Video: Abbott condemns menu which mocked Gillard's body (ABC News) Opposition Leader Tony Abbott has also condemned it, but says it should "absolutely not" cast doubt on Mr Brough's pre-selection for the Sunshine Coast seat of Fisher. "I think we should all be bigger and better than that; whether it's a tacky, scatological menu out the front of a Liberal Party event, whether it's squalid jokes told at union conference dinners with ministers present," the Opposition Leader said. "Whatever it is, I think we should be better than that. I think we should be appealing to every Australian's best self as we go into this election."

That didn't come from the Libs.

It's obviously some sort of joke from a primary school kid.

An adult wouldn't produce something like that and then actually distribute it.

We are a relaxed US multi-national.
Ties are for external meetings only by order of the CEO.

No ties for me thanks.

And yeah, I have no fake moral outrage on this one.

What a typical hoo-haa about nothing but hey if it can distract from the fact she is polling in the 20s primary vote, then I am sure Gillard will try and get upset about it eh?

If the Libs had nothing to do with this, they would be vehemently denying it, and they aren't.

Local talkback host, Neil Mitchell, condemned it, and said IF it came from the Libs, it was very foolish, BUT he also kept saying it could be labor dirty tricks.

Shameful attempt at trying to muddy the waters with NO basis to make such a claim other than to try and create doubt and confusion, where none existed until they invented the conspiracy theory to try and ameliorate the culpability of the Libs.

Abbott made a pathetic mealy mouthed statement saying the people of Australia deserve better than this, whether it be some scatological board outside a restaurant, or vulgar jokes at union meetings.
Again, pathetically trying to misdirect responsibility away from his party, and trying to change it into noble Tony watching out for those foul mouthed unionists.

What they should be doing is tracking down the culprit, and make them apologise.
In the meantime Abbott, and Mal Brough, whose fund raiser it was displayed at, should be apologising on behalf of the Libs.

It came from the Libholes.

Many obviously havn't seen the vetting process for a menu at that type of function.

Again: Do you think it's okay to call a vagina a big red box?

And on a side note, it's about time you started living in reality. And reality is that given the past history with regard to women's rights, and given the prominence of sexism back then and sexism still towards women, despite how unfair it is, there is a difference between calling on a man's penis and on women's physical appearance. Especially when we then compare how Rudd was made fun of, and how Gillard was: Rudd's joke based on mentality, Gillards on Physical Attributes. These people who make these jokes and who support these jokes (Brough/Hockey) are the PROBLEM people who make the reality what it is, and deny you the ideal where rudeness to both men and women is treated in the same light.  Especially when these problem people are in politics.

Yes. Apparently one man using a mussel used to describe a vagina in a private conversation is described by Abbott as "failiing the character test"

Yet when another man distributes a menu to dozens of people at an official LNP function describing the PM's vagina as a "big red box"  - this man is deemed to be an appropriate person to represent the LNP in Parliament.  No "failiing the character test" there it seems.

Tony has funny values doesn't he.  Still - smutty jokes are better than throwing punches at women's heads.  Tony would look hypocritical telling Brough off, wouldn't he.  They are a pretty crook mob, these blue tie boys.

The possibility that our country may be put in the hands of a bunch of misogynists does matter to many people

It was a joke on a fundraiser menu, raising funds to put a man into Parliament to represent the Liberal Party.  A Party led by a man who claimed that using a mussel used to describe a vagina in a private conversation as "failiing the character test", yet he is fine to have jokes about the PM's vagina freely distributed at official Party functions.

A Party led by a man who has a past charge of indecent assault against him and who has 3 witlessness to him throwing a punch at a woman's head.

A Party led by a man who thinks this of women:
I think it would be folly to expect that women will ever dominate or even approach equal representation in a large number of areas simply because their aptitudes, abilities and interests are different for physiological reasons

A Party led by a man who thinks abortion is "a matter of convenience".

The Libs do not like being shown up as the misogynists that they are.  THis menu is just one more example.

Remember?  That is how Tony has been known to attack women.  There were 3 witnesses to him punching the wall next to a women's head.  Remember?  THis was back in the day when he was charged with indecent assault on a woman (he allegedly groped her arse in public), and referred to women chairing meetings as a "chair thing".

That was of course years ago.  But he still says things like:

I know exactly what I'm talking about your bias has caused your confusion.

He was speaking about female vaginas and mussells not just one specific one.  The idiot commenting earlier got the quote wrong ad the context.  he was trying to make it out to be some how a lesser sine to talk about one vagina than to insult the PM.  But Slipper the gross misogynist that he is was talking about all women.

I do hope you get it now.

And for the umpteenth time apparently it wasn't written by a member of the LNP.

Are you suggesting he is not a sexist pig - just merely too incompetent to even keep an eye on what is going on at his own functions?  you don't know much about organisations or functions do you.  Perhaps julia should have made sure her staff didn't help organise the aboriginal riot which trapped her and Abbott and caused her to be whisked off sans shoe.  I note this was her staff not an outsider as the menu author was.

I'm sorry?!?!  Are you saying is is normal practice for politicians to be completely oblivious to the printed material distributed at their official functions?!?!

Really?!?!?

Well, you have to hand it to the right.

Just when you think the maggots can't possibly sink any lower, they surprise you by doing precisely that.

That it is indeed probable that Brough had been busy doing all sorts of things more important than overseeing the printing of a menu.
that someone outside the LNP came up with it thinking it was funny and it may even have been totally overlooked in the process.

No, I'm 100% correct.

If I wasn't, you'd produce evidence.

You have nothing.

The Liberal Party authorised this menu and then allowed it to be distributed to the diners.

I know you're not used to dealing with facts, but you're just gonna have to learn to suck it up from now on pal: facts are what I deal in.

But Slipper the gross misogynist

My view is that Tony isn't a misogynist - But if Slipper is than Tony is in the same category.

Using that word to describe female anatomy in my view does not indicate that he hates women. He has stated that he is not attracted to them and that also does not show that he hates women.

In my view Tony likes women, which means that he is not a misogynist however his record clearly labels him pretty much a top grade sexist pig.

What do you feel that bare foot pregnant woman should be thinking about while they are doing the ironing?
The cost of power or the fate of Whyalla.

It was a joke on a fundraiser menu, raising funds to put a man into Parliament to represent the Liberal Party.  A Party led by a man who claimed that using a mussel used to describe a vagina in a private conversation as "failiing the character test", yet he is fine to have jokes about the PM's vagina freely distributed at official Party functions.

What an utter crock of sh1t.
At our company we have a load of fundraisers and large dinners for politicians/industry and their wives etc for lobbying purposes.
I would lay a load of money on our CEO never ever sighting the menu until its in front of him and he's ordering.
You're just fishing for something to hang on Abbott, because you don't like him.



Quote:

A Party led by a man who has a past charge of indecent assault against him and who has 3 witlessness to him throwing a punch at a woman's head.

Factually incorrect.
There are not 3 witnesses to a punch being thrown at a woman's head.
Go back and look through it and see how many are basing on 'what they heard from a close distance away'.

By the way, can I suggest you also go away and look up the difference of being charged and being guilty.
Particularly when someone has been completely exonerated by a Magistrate who noted the 'huge conflict in the prosecution case'.

Quoting a put-up job charge - when he was cleared - particularly one 30 years old, makes you look bitter and nasty.

Nasty business, slander.



Quote:

The Libs do not like being shown up as the misogynists that they are. .

Probably because they aren't. It's just a made up recent concept from the current PM who doesn't like being called to account - not because she is a woman - but because she has been a terrible, terrible leader.



Like I said something out of nothing because the Government is about to be handed its ass in September by the Australian people.

Deservedly so.

I am not aware of a single function with my current employer where we havn't vetted the menu, been provided with samples of the menu and negotiated the contents of the menu prior to the event.

You are right that very often the CEO would not be involved in the choices but there have been times when he has had an interest. Typically for important fund raisers he would be very likely to be involved.

The other time the discussion would go to the top is in the event of a serious issue or controversial aspect.

Impossible to believe that his staff would not have brought this to his attention.

The menu which compared Julia Gillard's body to a cooked quail has been labelled an “in-house” joke by the owner of the Brisbane restaurant which hosted a Liberal party fundraiser.

Richards & Richards owner Joe Richards has claimed responsibility for the menu, which he said was never distributed on tables at the fundraiser.

The Queensland LNP executive released on Wednesday night a letter Mr Richards wrote to Liberal Mal Brough in which he apologised for the menu.

“I I have been following the rubbish that has been on the news today,” Mr Richard's writes.  “I would like to confirm what actually happened: there were never any menus distributed on the tables or in the restaurant.

“I created a mock menu myself as a light-hearted joke, however as I said I never produced them for public distribution.


“Unfortunately a staff member saw the mock menu, and unbeknownst to myself, posted it on their facebook. It now appears that a third party for political reasons has distributed it, yet I can reassure you that no such menu was distributed on the night.

“As you know no one at the dinner was privy to such a menu, and it is so unfortunate that an in-house joke between myself and my son has caused you great problems and embarrassment.”

A LNP spokesman said the letter was released with Mr Richard's permission and was written after Mr Richard saw the menu story on the evening news.

“He sent it after seeing the story tonight,” the spokesman said.  Fairfax Media has attempted to contact Mr Richards.

The LNP spokesman said a further statement from Mr Richards was expected to be released later Wednesday evening or early Thursday morning to further “clarify” the matter.

The person who leaked the menu on twitter reportedly found it on the Facebook page belonging to a chef from the restaurant.

The moment the first Liberal Party member picked up the menu, read it, and then didn't immediately stand up and collect every other menu and throw them in the bin, it was authorised by the Liberal Party.

The menu was used at a dinner for about 20 people hosted by former Howard government minister and now Coalition candidate Mal Brough in Brisbane on March 28. Opposition Treasury spokesman Joe Hockey was the guest of honour. It featured a dish called "Julia Gillard Kentucky Fried Quail - Small Breasts, Huge Thighs & A Big Red Box". Mr Brough has apologised and says the menu was written by a non-party member who thought it would be "humorous" but is now "deeply apologetic". The Liberal National Party has released a statement saying the "content of the menu card was absolutely unacceptable and has no place at any LNP event." Video: Abbott condemns menu which mocked Gillard's body (ABC News) Opposition Leader Tony Abbott has also condemned it, but says it should "absolutely not" cast doubt on Mr Brough's pre-selection for the Sunshine Coast seat of Fisher. "I think we should all be bigger and better than that; whether it's a tacky, scatological menu out the front of a Liberal Party event, whether it's squalid jokes told at union conference dinners with ministers present," the Opposition Leader said. "Whatever it is, I think we should be better than that. I think we should be appealing to every Australian's best self as we go into this election." http://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-06-12/opposition-on-back-foot-in-sexism-row-after-menu-published-onli/4748826

I would like to confirm what actually happened: there were never any menus distributed on the tables or in the restaurant. I created a mock menu myself as a light-hearted joke, however as I said I never produced them for public distribution. Unfortunately a staff member saw the mock menu, and unbeknownst to myself, posted it on their facebook. It now appears that a third party for political reasons has distributed it, yet I can reassure you that no such menu was distributed on the night.

If this is correct it looks like my assumptions may not have been well founded - Still some questions remain.


Mr Brough has apologised and says the menu was written by a non-party member who thought it would be "humorous" but is now "deeply apologetic".

Mal talking like he knew what happened???

Nobody at the function has come forward saying it wasn't the menu?

Be interesting to see the full story come out, is this the truth now???

Or is this a good liberal mate taking the heat???

Don't expect logic or rationality here Andrei...

or an apology

it doesn't matter if it was the menu, written up as a joke, or some blokes order at the local brothel. They should have condemned it for the slime that it is.

Really? Let's look at your 2nd witness then......


Quote:

Witness #2. Sydney Barrister David Patch who was a witness to the incident, although he did not actually see the punch She was very shaken, scared and angry. She told me that Abbott had come up to her, put his face in her face, and punched the wall on either side of her head. So, I am a witness. http://www.themonthly.com.au/issue/2013/march/1363824219/david-marr/political-animal

Quote:

Witness #3. Ms Ramjan - who saw the punch very clearly: He came up to within an inch of my nose and punched the wall on either side of my head.” She recalls with cold disdain: “It was done to intimidate.” http://www.themonthly.com.au/issue/2013/march/1363824219/david-marr/political-animal

So of your 3 witnesses, you've got a bloke who admits he didn't see it but the woman who said he threw a punch told him.

And another of your witnesses is the woman herself???


Like I said - there aren't three witnesses to him throwing a punch at the woman at all.

Can I suggest you don't go into the practice of law.

He was a witness to the event , although he did not see the actual punch.

She told me that Abbott had come up to her, put his face in her face, and punched the wall on either side of her head.So, I am a witness. Her immediate complaint to me about what Abbott had just done had the absolute ring of truth about it.

Yes.  Are you saying that a woman who had just had punches thrown towards her head could not have witnessed the event.

And of course there was the 3rd witness you seem to want to ignore - the one that was an EYEWITNESS to the actual punch

''I saw Abbott throw a punch at Barbara Ramjan but didn't see it land … When next I saw her, she was in an extremely shocked condition, leaning against the wall … I thought he had actually struck her, but I can see that was simply my assumptiom.

3 witnesses with nothing to gain by making this up - against one bloke who wants to be PM and has admitted that you can not always believe what he says.

And you believe the politician.

No, I wont - but I have studied law, as has obviously Mr Patch, a Barrister - you appear to be the odd one out here - can I suggest you learn what words mean before you go on the internet making an idiot of yourself?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Witness

THere were 3 witnesses Abbott throwing a punch towards a womans head.
1. an eyewitness who saw the punch being thrown
2. a hearsay witness to the incident that is able to provide evidence of recent complaint - evidence which is admissible evidence, particularly in assault cases, and
3.  the woman who actually had the punch thrown at her - who couldn't help but see it.


And this was just one incident in his past.  There was also the accusations of groping (leading to an indecent assault charge), which go to explain his current sexist attitudes relating to abortion and the role of women etc.  All again confirmed this week as he happily decides that his candidates  that make crude sexists jokes are welcome to represent his Party in Parliament

And fan boys like you go out of your way to make up excuses for blokes like this.

Pretty pathetic.

I think what puzzles Gillard in her hypocritical relentless personal attacks (geez calling Hockey fat ????) is that the general public might buy into personalities in a positive way ..... like they did for Rudd, but they will react in a negative way when you go down the Womens Weekly style pointless personal attacks.

This is just rough guess work, about 60% of people really have no or little time for politics, so the Gillard style of politics of hate will only work on a very small % that probably vote ALP anyway...... based on who she is attacking.

What she does not understand is that often the vast majority are on the counter side of her attacks.

Her pathetic abortion attack was odd, I can only assume she stupidly thought no one was filming her (or she did not care) saying men (about 50% of the population) or religious people (the majority of the population) are not entitled to even discuss abortion......... let alone swinging voters who might be attracted to the ALP because of this stance ....... they just don't exist.

She struggles to talk in a positive way about anything .... if it was raining instead of saying the dams would be full because of it ..... she would probably blame Abbott for the rain.

"We ran this story online through the day so gave it a fair bit of coverage.

The problem is people rarely understand what they want and how to get it.  No time before gillard have as many women held senior, ministey, roles in government.  1 in 3 ministers are women.  So much for equality in representation when tony gets in and that plummets to only 6 out of 32 ministers being women.  Another area we are going backwards in and her speech of the man in blue tie being back seems to be quite accurate.  But all those displeased at the fact our company boards and governments don't see equal representation between men and women think that it was a bad speech?  Watch, in 2 years they'll be once again crying about it , because they didn't realize their opportunity.

You are correct in the sense that this is going nowhere in a national context.  But it sure is going somewhere in his Electorate, where people (especially LNP Members in the Fisher Sub-Branch) are just adding this scandal to a growing list involving Brough.  This is a rising tide, and it will not take much from here for the grass roots within his own Branch to tap him on the shoulder.

I agree. Mrs Abbott should go on Sunrise and clear this nonsense up once and for all. And yes, only her husband can stop the boats.

Mr Abbott has two lovely daughters as well. They should not stay silent on this issue.

No, Mr Hicks.  Gillard did not start this Thread, or produce that Menu. 

No she didn't, but isn't she ever attempting to make capital from it.

It won't work though.


The next set of polls will show the Labor vote not moved and the Liberal vote not moved.

And on we go to the ALP castration in September and an Abbott landslide.

I dispute that this issue is of no relevance.  It may well cost Brough LNP endorsement, and justify Gillard's outburst earlier this week.  Sexism is alive and well within the LNP, it seems.

Those people who cannot see that this is the ALP again attempting to make this a personal set of attacks to try and divert from policy discussion or performance on record - they need their head tested.

Yet again - like with the claims against Abbott the other month - it is the ALP bringing personal insults into it and the debate off of politics and into the gutter.

Fortunately the media aren't buying it (the story is on Page 9 today) and the people have stopped listening.

Poor form of them to yet again attack the man and not debate policy and whats best for the country.

The issue has no relevance Aussie.

It's simply a mountain out of a molehill and you going to tell me this isn't being jumped on by the ALP because they are polling so badly??

Really??

Mr Hicks.....the issue has HUGE local relevance.

But, you can pretend otherwise as much as you please.  The local LNP Members of Brough's Branch might well take a different view from yours before 14th September.

I cant believe the labor party is carrying on this nonsense, complete utter nonsense.

but this just shows how desperate labor is, that it is on the front foot of any offence it can find,

besides i thought the menu was funny in parts

Yes, but in primary school farts are funny too.

You'll understand one day.

Indeed.

A new Liberal Low.

This is labor, when ever there are in trouble, go on the front foot and look at for anything said or written that can labelled as offensive, either racial, gender, sexual orientation or class, or anything

these things are labors allies when they are in trouble or need to kick up a political s***storm

They hit the jackpot this time.

Maybe the liberals should use the same tactic, joe hockey has claimed that julia gilliard has called him fat something at one occasion,

it seems its ok for julia gillaird to offend someone who may have a weight problem, and she wants to lecture about  being offensive on other matters

you labor supporters are such hypocrites, its amazing the level of hypocrisy

Little wonder that majority of australians are so turned off by labor that some like me see them as pure scum

It's not just Labor, Mr 011.  Every LNP Polly who has been asked has condemned the 'thing,' even Brough.  Problem is they only did that when the sh1t hit the fan, and NOT when it happened.

A fat "something"?

This is the claim:

"The prime minister described me as a fat man in parliament not that long ago."


Joe Hockey is fat.

Joe Hockey is a man.

Joe Hockey is in parliament.

So, did you have a point?

Joe hockey made the claim that julia gilliard called him a fat man or whatever, he mentioned it because he thought it was somewhat offensive back then to him but only mention it because julia and her cohorts wanna kick a storm about being offended by a menu, otherwise joe hockey wouldnt have said a word about it

So, please elaborate on that comment.

Explain the circumstance in which it could be offensive.

Give an example of "how you might say it" that would cause offense.

Yes.  And their breasts, thighs and boxes are particularly lovely, as you would expect from such a handsome father.

No you didn't: you're telling lies now.

So, could you please give an example of "how you might say it" that would cause offense?

All i see with Julia Gilliard that she thinks she is on a winner with this gender war business, not realising that her gender war will not change much of the mind of the majority of voters who see her as a chronic liar, untrustworthy to the core and thats very reflected in polls in the last 3 years,

You mean like, with a British accent?

Would a British accent make it offensive?

You still haven't answered the question.  You're running away.  Why?

It's not the "libbos'" menu or doing.

Anyway, what does Gillard expect?
She started the 'lies' and sexist/gender war.

What do she and her feminist army think this is...hate men and just say whatever you like about them and it's all ok year?
Well it's not.

Dish it out?
