There is nothing wrong with wanting to help, is there?
SHE'S one of the Prime Minister's most formidable weapons in his quest for popularity - and Jessica Rudd would love to be part of the Kevin 13 campaign.
The 29-year-old author will prove to be the Rudd camp's weapon, countering campaign appearances by Tony Abbott's highly visible three daughters.

I didn't say there was, did I?
What I said was:
There have been comments/innuendos made about Mr Abbott, his wife and daughters that were truly disgraceful.

His daughters are adults. Do they feel exploited? They were volunteering to travel with their father.. No payment invlolved?
"Benefit unfairly from the work of (someone), typically by overworking or underpaying them:

They were exploited ..used to help get our votes (as part of a pre-election campaign) and advance their Father to PM of our Country
----------------------
If his adult daughters voluntarily accompanied their father on his pre election tours and they dont think they were exploited... Then how can anyone say they were? That is insulting their intelligence.
Different if they were minors and not able to decide for themselves.

Most People seeking to be leaders like to be seen with their family. Voting People with families, which are a large percentage of a voting population, can relate to them, simple.
Mr Abbott is not unique in this. President Obama trotted out his wife and daughters out regularly during his election campaign, as did Bill Clinton and who can forget John Kennedy with gorgeous Jackie and their 2 kids. John & Janette Howard
I don't know who would want to begrudge a parent's pride in their children, sheesh.
I also don't see how that can be interpreted as exploitation.

this is so logical to me...I just don't know how I can manage to explain so that you can understand.
a red head is a red head even if they don't 'feel' like a red head ...a fact is a fact .
The daughters were exploited (used) in an attempt to buy our votes to help Tony Abbott advance to the PM of our Country.
