Well there only seems to be a few options

Does Tnoy’s rules for others apply to himself? (ridiculous to suggest they should)

Can the conservatives spin it to look like a difference exists where it clearly doesn’t?

Are tnoy and co + their supporters hypocrites of the worst order? (consistent with their history).

I would think there are good reasons for not shortcutting the trial process to establish guilt or you can end up looking as incompetent dishonest mean spirited and opportunistic as Tnoy Abbnott does now.

By his own standard (or more accurately lack of) he has to stand aside, Impaled by his own petard

This is unsurprisingly ridiculous. By your reckoning if anyone is accused of defamation he should immediately stand down from is job the moment the papers are lodged with a court official.

Cab charges - commonwealth money, permitted for parliamentary business only. Staff harassment - Ashby was his staffer in his parliamentary office.

Indeed. And that's why he refused to retract. This will burn Gillard and the unions far more than Abbott.

It is another boon for Abbott: there will be sustained discussion about union thuggery and intimidation, so much of it that no amount WorkChoices advertising could possibly buy its equal.

Why do you thing the Government was eager to bring up a 30 year old harassment case against Abbott just last week but are completely, utterly silent on this? They know that this is gold for Abbott and poison for Labor.

But all you mentally negligible progs are prancing about triumphantly if this was bad news for Abbott and good for Gillard.

Carry on.i

They do care about sexual harassment and corruption.

Can you prove this person you claim is a thug is a thug.

If so, Tony needs your help

Your intelligence and quiet confidence is coming through loud and clear.

Carry on. You know this issue is a boon for Abbott, poison for Gillard and the unions. But carry on banging on your pots and pans if you really think that this is irrelevant.

How can your comprehension be that poor I do not think either should have been stood down.

This is Tnoy Abbnott's view on Slipper which now should be applied to himself.

The problem is that this is the standard that Tnoy has demanded be applied to others.

Its not what I think at all - Tnoy hoisted by his own petard.
