If anything, the journo should apologise to the hard working, decent MPs who are being unfairly painted with the same brush

where did she do that exactly?

try again armpit .....

The female journalist asked the PM if he trusted the state government, which she said had been "proven to be corrupt".

Dumb crap question, from dumb crap reporter.

She seems to have come to the conclusion after her extensive investigations that the entire government - every single member - is corrupt. She is lucky not to have been sued, but clearly the Liberal members are better than that AND her!

ahhh, so thats your problem . Grin

... she didn't say every single member, she said the state govt. .... there is a difference.

and? its a valid question ... the state govt, has been found wanting ..... the premier resigned over it for fvcks sake. want proof, watch the ICAC hearings.

And the Federal PM and Treasurer are part of that same party branch. With the Treasurer having his own slush fund to accept 'donations' ($5500 to join the "Friends of Joe" club! Bargain!):

Time for an answer to the question I think.

Question. Why the teaspoon?

AP is a very shallow thinker, his debating skills really are at their peak when C&Ping Piers or Andrew & adding +1.

I used to say I had deeper baths, but then he outdid himself & it became puddles.

Then just when you thought it couldn't get worse it did hence Teaspoon.

That's not to say he hasn't outdone himself since, just that I can't be bothered finding something shallower than a Teaspoon. Wink

Question. Who is AP?

Yep. Tony the NSW Lib knows his way around a slush fund

One of the Howard Government's most senior ministers last night revealed he raised nearly $100,000 to lay the groundwork for Pauline Hanson's prosecution for electoral fraud.

The Minister for Workplace Relations, Tony Abbott, admitted setting up a trust, Australians for Honest Politics, from donations to pay for legal actions against Hanson and her party, One Nation.

Tony Abbott owes this journalist an apology.

The female journalist asked the PM if he trusted the state government, which she said had been "proven to be corrupt".

NSW Premier resigns in wake of ICAC revelation

Abbott reacted angrily to the question, lecturing the woman who asked it and suggesting she "withdraw".

"That is an entirely unjustified smear," Mr Abbott said.

"Let me not mince my words madam. An entirely unjustified smear. Frankly

I think you should withdraw that and apologise because there is no evidence whatsoever."

http://news.ninemsn.com.au/national/2014/04/16/11/20/abbott-lashes-out-at-journa...

No, he certainly doesn't owe the journalist an apology. If anything, the journo should apologise to the hard working, decent MPs who are being unfairly painted with the same brush. There are and have been some very decentMPs from both sides of politics.

The journalist mentioned no MPs. She asked about the government.

Given evidence before the ICAC, it was a reasonable question.

And he should have been sacked, charged and jailed for attempting to
pervert the democratic process (ie, treason) right there.

He's certainly no fit person to be PM.

Political Animal has little moderation. It is the forum for free speech and free thinkers to converse passionately without the threat of being banned. It is a forum for adults.
