Abbott won't stand aside - he has one rule for everyone else, and another rule for himself.

He is a hypocrite through and through.

And interestingly enough, who is paying for Abbott's legal defence?

According to Michelle Grattan, Abbott is receiving pro bono legal assistance from Arnold Bloch Leibler.

Hmmmm.

Lawyers generally don't like to do ANYTHING for free, so isn't it interesting that Kathy Jackson, James Ashby and now Abbott are all receiving pro bono legal representation.

Suspicious? Perhaps.

But why can't Abbott pay for it himself?

Why is he relying on handouts - and more importantly - what do they expect in return?

At last, a left sock. I didn't ever think I was going to make a pair.

As far as they want in return, may I suggest, a muzzle might be the gift of choice.

Did you forget to take your medication this morning? Its only early - go take it now.

Why is there no more of this in the news? SLipper and thompson get coverage every day. Abbotts transgression is instantly forgotten? Friggin media bias . . .

SOB

Absolutely - particularly in the Murdoch media where Abbott is virtually untouchable, printing his lies as if they were the truth and never questioning Abbott's statements.

Almost every single day Abbott lies to the media and to the Australian people and yet, the gullible swallow it up as if it were fact.

There is nothing to report because Labor is lying doggo on this. Why? because they know, even if you progs don't realise it, that this is much worse news for Labor and the unions than Abbott and the Libs.

Everything they might say against Abbot in this case in defence the union heavy will be taken down and used against them. That's why they are silent. There is absolutely nothing they can say that would not backfire.

But you ijits keep thinking th soilence is due to some friggin' directive from Rupert. As if he would issue directive, especially in the middle of the British media enquiry.

Murdoch doesnt have to give a directive. Dont you get it? Thier policy is to back liberal party. The managers and executives just follow policy how they see fit. There isnt even anything illegal about this.

It made sense to me. New boy PhonyTonyAbbott looks like a sock for a regular poster, bit of a change from all the right wing socks we have around here.

Tony's benefactor is where some of Australia's leading corporations go to lawyer up, particularly in matters relating to the ACCC, our anti competition watchdog.

The mystery of the missing socks, watchdog, muzzle, o.k. forget it, I'll take my tablets.

Heh oh yeah duh. Prolly not a good idea to draw attention to it though. Seems its the "righties" that get preferential treatment around here.

Yeah so tony lawyered up but theres still nothing new in the media about it. Ridiculous.

Ah, so the Murdoch press backing Rudd in 23007 was just another cunning plan? I get it. Even when they are not backing the Libs, they are backing the Libs. That's just sooo, like, deeply cunning, isn't it.

I have explained this before.

I dont know if they backed rudd in 23007 because I didnt/wont have a tv then but they switch sides. They do it now and then and @ the moment they are backing libs. Rebekkah brooks explained it in the inquiry.

backing Rudd in 23007

The Liittle slip on the date to produce a more likely real number outcome for when the Lib supporting media would be likely to change.

The Media in 2007 lagged community opinion and many elements of the media fought for every conservative inch reluctantly given up. The community gave the media no option in 07 but it was still a long way from what the media wanted.

I think you are somewhat harsh on the Liberals. The media drive extreme views not liberal party views. Just because these often intersect does not mean there is a conspiracy. The media want to sell papers, this is the business to make a profit, as is the current view in business that profit is more important than people, community and truth. So news papers will print any rubbish and conjecture to sell papers and that will suit the more short sighted and self absorbed liberal thinking. It of course is a disaster for the labor party who love to supply the days headline.

But when the shoe is on the other foot and it's Mr Abbnott in question it is an entirely different matter, now we must apply due process of course.
