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."

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."

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.

16 is the minimum age for a "Young Lib".

That menu wasn't written by someone that old: no way.
