raise the tone of Australian policy debate
Jul 2^nd, 2013 at 4:24pm

STAND-UP comedian Josh Thomas has been criticised after making sexually explicit remarks about Tony Abbott's mother.
The TV star courted controversy after he publicly tweeted to the Opposition Leader's official account: "Stop the boats? I would prefer it if you stopped YO MOMMA from comin' round my place at night for sex. #Political".

Thomas' comments were yesterday broadcast to his more than 220,000 followers.

The tweet drew criticism with one follower labelling the remark "childish".

In a statement to the Herald Sun today Thomas said: "I was just trying to raise the tone of Australian policy debate from where it has been the last few years."

*Sure....they're anti competitive as any subsidised job is. It wouldn't be there without the tax payer. Very damned difficult for a brainwashed collectivist to understand that I know.... (swaggy) *

There is just nothing funny about him. I don't consider Abbott a leader. He just does not have what it takes. However, that tweet was out of line. Childish. Unnecessary. Unfunny. Garbage. I'll never understand the people who follow these "celebrities" tweets.

it's amazing what people put on there .... I had an enquiry about a property this afternoon, and when time permits, I Google them to see who I am dealing with ..... with just her name to start with and an email address, I can tell you her age, number of kids, her husbands name, where she works, kids names, I was even able to find out that she has a grey cat . and all that was on the first page I looked at . I'm sure if I spent more time I could find out a lot more about her.

Isn't this fellow a poo pusher? Why would a female go around to his place then?

Yes, well... it's called a brain fart.....leave it at that.... disgusting if you ask me and uncalled for. I don't personally hold any brief for Tony Abbott the political animal, but let us stick to the issues and ignore the Philistines.... that sort of thing is beneath us as Australians.... it's a Yank thing.... talk about cultural invasion...

I was discussing with my Chinese lady last night how I viewed the current intrusion of mega-capitalism into China and the long term effects, and we go for this..

Yo' Mumma?? Is that the best we can do?
