IS: "TS, would you want our PM going overseas and saying that publicly to another Country's PM ?
If not Why is it OK for Tony Abbott to do it here to our PM ?"
IS, the difference being domestic local politics as opposed to OS foreign affairs/diplomacy. Have you perhaps ever noticed coverage of OS domestic politics, parliamentary riots, fights, insults, assassinations etc between parties and/or leaders?
Next Rudd will be repeating Poor Me!
IS: "even to the extent of being involved with the jailing of inncocent Australians"
What is it with the CS history "buffs", especially as this topic was debated to death here a long while ago?
Conclusions of the Crime and Misconduct Commission Jan 2004
"The Commission is of the opinion that no misconduct or other impropriety has been
shown to have been associated with the conduct of the litigation concerning Ms
Hanson and Mr Ettridge, or with the police investigations leading to the prosecution.
The Commission also found no evidence of political pressure or other improper
influence or impropriety.
The Commission found nothing to show a failure to accord due process, in
accordance with the rule of law, to Ms Hanson and Mr Ettridge. In particular, the
involvement of Tony Abbott in events leading up to the institution of proceedings to
deregister the party did not produce or constitute a failure of due process."
"Sadly" the attempt to regurgitate history have almost been overlooked by the media. However I discovered this:
"Chances are Ettridge will obtain an anti-Abbott lawyer to help him pursue his exotic and quixotic legal adventure, that was clearly the reason for making his claims public"
perhaps there is such evidence or it may be ordered now MM
no...Tony Abbott has the bro bono Lawyers ...David Ettridge is paying his for his
Tony Abbott has said enough in the past to contradict himself 
and we continue to see a man without a spine who thinks he can say and do as he pleases ...no need to acknowledge it ,remember it let alone apologise publicly for it .No promise off or sign of change as we have seen and are seeing here .
What he says and does should be OK by everyone
and
his ..don't take anything he says as Gospel Truth unless it is scripted....is a way of him excusing himself .
