IC: "The "father dying of shame" comment was not made by Mr Abbot and was roundly condemned by all parties at the time it was made by Mr Jones. He was made to apologise publicly about it.

To bring it into a discussion now with reference to Mr Abbot's father is just as despicable. As is derogatory reference to his daughters and wife."

Oh please, it was a bit of irony. Not in the best taste but hardly having a go at his family.

 

No, Abbott did not rush to make Jones apologise.The only reason Jones apologised is because of the social media backlash and then the apology was not at all sincere.  Abbott also stole and modified the line to attack Gillard with.

Reference to Mr Abbott pimping his daughters for his election campaign has been made on other occasions by other posters here. They know who they are.

I agree the "father dying of shame comment" made by Alan Jones, whom I incidently loathe with a passion, was disgusting and outrageous. Not good form for Mr Abbott to use it later in a modified form later in parliament either.

But I've never seen him attack any member of her family or her partner.

women are exploited in the workplace"
