I'm sure ther are just as many Gillard ones that feature her pronounciation of words and dialect change, but Tony always looks like he's trying to rid a bike 1 footed when he's being interviewed.

Being caught out on Olympic Damn :^O

Tony Abbott blames carbon tax for 'uncertainty'

LEIGH SALES: Have you actually read BHP’s statements?

TONY ABBOTT: No, but I’ve also got again the statement of Jacques Nasser, who says, “While we’re still evaluating the impact of the carbon tax, but it just makes it more difficult.”

LEIGH SALES: But hang on, no, no, you haven’t read their statements today, but you’re commenting about what they’ve announced today and how the Federal Government’s to blame for that.

….

LEIGH SALES: Do you – I’m asking you though, not about the Government. I’m asking: do you accept that it’s legal to come to Australia to seek asylum by any means – boat, plane – that it is actually legal to seek asylum?

TONY ABBOTT: I think that people should come to Australia through the front door, not through the back door. If people want a migration outcome, they should go through the migration channels.

LEIGH SALES: That’s an answer to the question if I asked you: how do you think people should seek asylum?, it’s not an answer to the question: is it legal to seek asylum ?

Abbott misled parliament over reading of BHP statement: AlbaneseBY:LANAI VASEK From:The Australian September 10, 2012 2:19PM Increase Text Size Decrease Text Size Print

CABINET minister Anthony Albanese has written to speaker Peter Slipper suggesting Tony Abbott misled the parliament.

The Leader of the House said Mr Abbott had made inconsistent claims about whether he did or did not read a statement on the cancellation of BHP's Olympic Dam expansion before an interview with the ABC's 7.30 program.

He said the Opposition Leader "changed his story" when he thought it appropriate, and this had been a pattern of behaviour that was revealed also in David Marr's quarterly essay.

"People would be pretty familiar with Tony Abbott's train wreck of an interview with Leigh Sales on the (ABC's) 7.30 program," Mr Albanese said.

"What we have is a series of circumstances whereby Tony Abbott says one thing but when he is caught out he changes the view and tries to cover up."

Mr Abbott told the 7.30 program last month that he hadn't read BHP's statement, but the next day told parliament that he had indeed read the document at 3.45pm the day prior. His story was then corroborated by opposition treasury spokesman Joe Hockey who said he was with the Opposition Leader at the time the document was read.

"TONY ABBOTT has told voters not to believe everything he says.

In an extraordinary admission last night, the Opposition Leader said his only utterances that should be regarded as ''gospel truth'' were carefully prepared and scripted remarks such as those made during speeches or policy pronouncements.

(Not that there's been too many policies to pronounce......)

Otherwise, he indicated that statements he made during the ''heat of discussion'' such as radio interviews or under questioning at press conferences, were not necessarily reliable".

So......As it was then - 2010, so is it now...without a script, apparently you can't believe him....but then even with a script, it's hard to believe him....

Tony Abbott (and Christopher Pyne) running from Parliament to avoid accepting Craig Thomson's vote.

It should be reminded that political parties don't accept votes - Parliament accepts votes.

There was a great tweet on Q&A last night.

Greg Hunt (Shadow Minister for Climate Control) was in the middle of a long winded rant against the carbon tax where he was going on and on about how we shouldn't be taxing polluters, when someone tweeted "But what about your paper titled "How polluters should pay"."

He didn't quite know how to respond so guffed his way around it badly.

I think that is my problems with these Liberal idiots - they don't even have the decency to stick to their own values in the grasp for the leadership.

Tony Abbott lies to the Australian public AGAIN.

Yes Iza & we all witnessed the outcome of that little ankle tap didn't we?. Dirt Politics 101 They literally destroyed the career of an innocent man

"In a scathing judgment handed down on Wednesday, Justice Steve Rares found that the case was an "abuse of process" which had been carried out for the "purpose of causing significant public, reputational and political damage to Mr Slipper". He dismissed the claim and ordered Mr Ashby to pay his former boss's legal costs"

The LNP seem to think that they can stoop lower than a pregnant ant & the voting public just won't notice?. As Keating said 'If they can't have power - They'll wreck the joint".

If I were Slipper, I'd be suing those who perpetuated and/or instigated this obvious character assassination. I also wouldn't be surprised to see Thomson vindicated for the most part and the Union itself investigated for 'toxic work culture'. But we'll have to wait & see. If the Slipper affair is anything to go by. the LNP will no doubt be found to be manipulating the legal system for political gain & causing a storm in a teacup.

Personally I'd be quite smug if both are vindicated and both sue the pants off their accusers. i.e. using the same legal process their accusers abused to defame them. Interesting days ahead.
