You're right, I don't remember that. All I remember is how some justified the revolting comments and cartoons directed at her, then tried to claim she was starting a gender war, amongst other things. I also remember people raving on and on about the broken promise...on and on and on...and still going...without any consideration whatsoever about the hung parliament circumstances under which she was forced to negotiate. Yes, they go on and on and on about it, to this day, seemingly not noticing that abbott has broken 172 promises so far. And that's just in his first six months.

Where's the outrage about that?

Thankfully one politician is speaking up...thanks to Scott Ludlam.

"Australian corporate culture does not include social responsibility."

 

That is a broad statement to make. I doubt it applies to ALL corporations in Australia.

geez I wouldn't be pinning my hopes on that limp dishrag

Like I said, where's the outrage? Instead, we get personal insults .... nothing has changed lol

A3 of course it's a broad statement. Culture describes behaviours across a broad section

Since you disagree, perhaps you could give an example of a major Australian corporation that demonstrates a strong social responsibility agenda, similar to Microsoft, for example...or any Swedish power company..for another example?

Maybe telstra? Or the banks? Or the big mines? I must have read the wrong media, all I noticed was money lining their pockets, outlets being closed, poorer levels of service, CEO salary increases.

Correct me, please.

Not up to me to elaborate on another's broad statements (generalisation). I would expect the person who wrote that to expand on it themselves following the statement.

I'm sure the two panelists watched the whole speech and certainly didn't have to be spoon fed to see it for what it was. A despicable cowardly racist, homophobic slur on the serving PM of this country.

 

How come there's no outrage for this??  is it because he's not a woman and a Labor PM.? because there certainly would be plenty of outrage if she was slimed in such a manner,  and,  this was done on the Parliament floor no less, and yet the majority who have replied to this post support him and his actions show no distaste at all.

There was no gender based attack, racist attack or homophobic attack at all in the speech.

 

It had nothing to do with gender. There was no mention of what his wife does. I don't think he mentioned the daughters in the white dresses being used as a prop during the election campaign.  Nor did he mention Peta Credlin.  There is no way it could honestly be described as a sexist, racist or homophobic speech.

 

It was an invitiation to WA with a request to leave his baggage behind.

Limp dishrag?

 

I must admit I find it puzzling how you post articles and comments against the same sort of issues he speaks out against the govt for and yet you call him a limp dishrag for whatever reason.  Is it because Bolt and Co were on the attack?

I thought people usually used that expression ' limp dishrag' when referring to themselves when they feel tired? ..eg: on a hot humid day.
