Labor are so desperate that they will stoop to the lowest levels and drag Australian politics through the sewer in their attempts to slander Abbott.
DISGUSTING
Letterbox flyers call Opposition Leader Tony Abbott a 'sleazy moral coward' and 'maggot' - Jason Yat-Sen
LABOR'S star recruit for the seat of Bennelong has been drawn into a dirty tricks scandal after the circulation of a flyer that describes Tony Abbott as a "sleazy moral coward".
Jason Yat-Sen Li, hand-picked by Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, last night denied any involvement with the pamphlet despite claims it was dropped into residents' letterboxes by an ALP supporter.
Rosie Dekker, a resident of Smith St, Ryde for 17 years, said yesterday she was disgusted by the material delivered by a man wearing a shirt supporting Jason Yat-Sen Li.
"I was outside my flat at the letterboxes talking to a neighbour and saw a young, tall Asian man wearing a red T-shirt," Ms Dekker said.
"All I saw on the shirt was Yat-Sen on the front and he was putting stuff in our letterboxes.
"I didn't pay much attention to it. My neighbour went to his letterbox and looked shocked when he looked at it. I read it and my temper rose, my blood pressure was about to hit the roof.''
The pamphlet reads in part: "Vote no to the Abbott maggot.
Protect your wife and daughters - you have the power. Do you want a sleazy moral coward to have control over your daughter's body and dictate what she can and can't do with your own body? Remember this "good" family man abandoned what he thought was his own baby son."
"Like Barry O'Farrell, Tony Abbott will rape your sons and daughters' public school of billions of funds but protect Catholic paedophile schools with extra funding."

When they happened upon each other at the airport lounge, Mr Abbott said to Ms Gillard, "You've been through a pretty tough time" and "she agreed that yes, it had been a pretty tough time but that was the kind of thing that tended to happen in the rough and tough business we're in".
Of-course, politicians are civil to each other outside of parliament, some are even friends with members of the opposite party, it cuts both ways.

Did Jason Yat-Sen Li put it out or know about it? I believe him when he says he didnt BUT its still disgusting and the left is silent...
LNP has class and ethics and morals.
As said above, these leaflets are most likely a hoax & I am sure they are investigating.
Class!!!!!!!!!!!!!!? LOL Abbott really struggled with conversation through the program and could not produce salad without his daughters' help. Not that cooking is a prerequisite for being a good PM, but neither is jumping through tyres or cycling fast. However, being a good engaging speaker able to converse with other heads of state would help.

NW, If you believe that he didn't do it and in the OP the word slander is written ...why are you using slander and smear tactics here?

I couldn't agree with you more .This will ,I believe be noted in history ...in the mean time we to think about Australians.
Australians attacking Australians on the basis of financial status,employment, race, religion, country of birth, means of arrival in Australia (at times it seems almost like it's a who's more Australian...which refugee/which australian came the 'suposedly right/wrong way/who's been in this Country the longest...in some sort of fight for superiority) ', gender, someone's appearance,sexual preferences, age, health and level of ability ,state of health ,level of education or anything else.If it's happening now and it's in any way being justified in order to support someone who could be our next PM...
what lies ahead ?
