''What we're seeing at the moment though is a level of vitriol, nastiness, personal attack that I have never seen before'' and ''It's beyond harsh, it is cruel. A lot of the tone of our public debate is nasty in the nastiest possible way''
Today:
Health Minister Tanya Plibersek has refused to apologise for posters in her electorate office which label the opposition leader as racist, homophobic and sexist
The signs included the slogans, purporting to be from Tony Abbott: ''Note to the ladies: make me a sandwich'' and ''I'm threatened by boats and gays, gays on boats are my worst nightmare''
Poor taste.
Um, but he DOES feel threatened and has said as much. As if there are no conservative gays!
ReplyDeleteTo Mr Gross--Abbott's sister is in a relationship with another woman.
ReplyDeleteHe's not threatened by his sister, in fact they're very close.
