Menu (with ref to Gillard & Rudd) - Restaurant Owner admits it was his idea

[cherry*135]

Just heard this on TV. Owner said he thought it was a light hearted idea. I didn't catch it all but I think he said it wasn't handed out at the dinner.

crikey - It was that restaurant named in the link on a previous thread in this topic.

It didn't add up when Gillard's office boy took the flack for sending the indigenous protesters after Abbott!!!!! Who sends out a false report from the PM's office without the PM knowing?? and Gillard even said she didn't know the person woman it was sent too yet there are photos of her and the woman together... 

I think the problem was with ALL media that went after the story with no due diligence.  None went out and tracked the truth of the story... they all went out on the attack without going to the restaurant or trying to find out the original source.

It is a classic example of poor journalism.

Well, if anything we have all learned that lots of people 'say' they don't read menus! LOL

Mr Brough says the menu was drawn up by a non-party member who thought it would be “humorous” and “didn’t mean any harm by it,” but is now “deeply apologetic”.’

If he knew  details and that the non-party member was apologetic you would expect that he had had contact with this person and perhaps  have known more...more of what was later written in the email.Sharing that info earlier would have , I'd imagine saved a lot of the fallout (including statements made by JG).

...yet if he knew he didn't share it 

why ?

[donnashuggy]

There is no way any of them would have apologized if they weren't guilty of being in the know!

unconvincing. 🙂

Only to die hard labor luvvies and the bitter fanatical supporters of a failed PM and govt... 

Keep on being unconvinced if that helps you get out of bed every day  as September 14 is getting closer by the day and the Australian public will have their say and its not going to be pretty for Gillard and Labor.
