One thing I do have and that's a sense of hoomer which appears to be lacking with some people.

I have a friend who's name is Anthony and he gets called Tone all the time.
It's not like the deliberate misspelling of Julia, which wasn't a commonly used shortening of her name.

I show the abbott as much respect as he and his gang gave our previous PM and government, respect is earned and he squandered his.

To me, respect is a given, disrespect is earned.

fair enough but same outcome for the abbott. 

What's wrong with Tone? Nothing derogatory about that for a person whose name is Tony.

As for using the title of Prime Minister everytime TA is referred to... Australian are to casual for that.

A headline this morning in the SMH - Abbott looks like a shag on a rock.

I didn't vote for his party, I don't like him, I don't respect him, I don't like what he is "trying" to do to Australia. I don't care what people call him   .... I just want him GONE, the sooner the better

I have a good sense of humor.....this is not humor. This is disrespect. Seems to be lacking in many areas these days.

how about 'big tone' (thats what i used to call my short boss)

 

or lil tone

 

or flapper for abbot, those ears are just  oh soooo big!

 

BTW i fess up to being disrespectful of 'tone'...and i dont care

why is it, this 'disrespect' for our nations 'leader' is such an issue now?

 

it never was for Julia Gillard and not for Kevin Rudd either, even Howard copped a spray, yet suddenly we have all this nonsense that

we are being disrespectful?....
