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.

and the words fit ...yes or no ?

Fit what?

 

The PM's daughters helping him win an election? No way, and I think it's disgusting to imply that, frankly.

 

 

 

of course they did. if they were a liablity they wouldn't be there.

Attacking innocent family members is not beyond some on here. I put it down to what they call left wing fringe, disenfranchised and bitter, this said by a mainstream A grade journalist on TV on sunday.

 

It must be terrible  to spend all your time on here posting very nasty borderline stuff and expressing opinions that a person wouldn't dream of uttering under different  circumstances.

Icy, as far as I am concerned any problem is due to non acceptance of the meanings of words in the English language.

 

 

If to exploit is to ulitise for personal gain...that quite simply was what was done .

 

 

Frances and Bridget Abbott introduced the Opposition Leader to a crowd of party faithful in Brisbane with a speech that was at times more 21st roast than campaign launch.

Silverfaun, I again ask that you back up claims made against other posters with evidence

of course not but the op did call Ludlums speech, "hate speech", which it clearly isn't.

truth and slandering other people not a high priority so it appears

Am, I gather you also remember those appalling comments directed at Mr Abbott and his daughters with specific references to their 'relationship'.   I actually do wish I could find those posts. 

 

 

I love seeing how swinging voters think. Good luck in your new LNP support, a3 🙂

If you find it disgusting to imply it ..do you not  find the fact that that is what was done disgusting ?

 

My posts are not personal. I see a father with 3 intelligent adult daughters going on a campaign trail together. How that would even lead to being associated with pimp fails me. I know that the assoc. with pimp will appear on blogs and social media but my question was how many people in Australia would read more into it than daughters supporting their father.The girls looked like they were enjoying being out and about meeting people also.
