No, just authorised and distributed by them.

Ah wrong pec... but I'll let you and your huge grey delco work out why.

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.

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.

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.

apparently it wasn't written by a member of the LNP

Almost impossible to believe. I am afraid that if you swallow that you would believe anything.

That it is indeed probable that Brough had been busy doing all sorts of things more important than overseeing the printing of a menu.

You think Brough was the only member of the Liberal Party involved with that dinner, do you?

Oh dear: it seems you are even more ignorant and gullible than I thought.

How soon we forget and become inaccurate.

Written by a member of the LNP?

Apparently not.

Do try and keep up, so far Brough has apologised and said it was written by a non-member thinking it was funny.

Oh it wasn't a vagina being called a mussel?

And he apologized... How nice. He didn't seem to mind when he was there. But now apologise? Yeh...

ah no it wasn't A vagina
and it wasn't A mussel

Funny it only just came out after Julia's rant eh. Before that not one of us knew about it there was no need for an apology if no one knew about it or was offended by it.

? I think you're confused. I'm referring to Tony's rant against slipper for calling a vagina a mussel, but apparently a big red box is appropriate. Interestingly it is so appropriate that sky news is blurring it. But it's okay; skipper has to quit for the remark as it isn't befitting, according to tony, but brough is okay. And incident both members of the LNP. My my.

Ah so all vaginas is bad but one vagina is good. Got it.

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.

Get the hand-crank out and rev up that brain of yours, I'm almost sure you can work it out.

Feel free to submit your "authorisation" for proof of what you believe. You know concrete evidence... FACTS. Grin

See how your message gets through when you delete all the crap and 50 million other posts?

It is SO EASY too ......

Anyone who disagrees with your statement doesn't need 20 other peoples blah blah.

I urge you and everyone else to use the delete button, often. Wink

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.

What I'm sure of is that you have absolutely no idea of what you are talking about, and you have taken over as the most ridiculous poster on this forum.

Congratulations. You certainly earned it my boy.

Grendel to get a proper useable URL use the "insert hyperlink" button far left (world thingie) above ...... then one can click on the link (you post) and go directly to where it leads, rather than have to cut and paste. OK? Wink

the third from the left inserts images. Wink

Youtube? Use the red musical notes thing.

Trying to help ... and hopefully others will read and observe. Wink

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.

No links allowed for me, so google SMH.
