Bob Vinnicombe, Sefton
A lot of hypocrisy from Labor and The Greens about respect for women.
Look at the treatment they dished out to Pauline Hanson.
The Greens walked out in the middle of her second maiden speech – an example of bullying of female politicians.
She was pelted with missiles, shoved, spat on, jostled by Labor and Greens supporters wherever she went, and not a sound of complaint from Labor and Greens politicians.
Please explain?
Hanson did at least join Labor & Greens call for the Senate investigation inquiry
into the Government’s handling of the 100 million sports-cash crash. Still her
racist comments are loud & ugly & anyone commenting trash insults deservers
to be walked away from – male or female.
OMFG Bob, you must be joking or else you are full of *it.
Just what people expect from One Nation supporters…..blinkered, whitewashed, exaggerators & serial liars crying “victim & poor me”.
The “pelted with missiles & spat on by Labor & Greens supporters” claim is yet another garbage lie…. that never happened! At it to your long list of discredited claims & lies perpetuated by Rich Pauline & her deluded crowd. The ONE TIME eggs were (deservedly?) thrown at a One Nation mob it was widely reported AND claimed by those that threw them, to be members of the Australian Socialists…..they were probably joined by other sane & reasonable Australians. The LNP siad & did nothing either, as they were probably ashamed of their tacit support for her backward racist policies.
I’m sure people rightly shouted abuse at her, just as they do in every democracy when presented with idiotic & bigoted policies by vacuous morons running for political office.
People walk out of parliament all the time, especially when the unrepresentative swill use their parliamentary privilege as a platform to shovel their manure on the rest of the country, several parliamentary speeches are made in front of a near-empty chamber, often reflective of how other politicians rate the lack of respect & lack of importance of the speaker, especially one stuck in the dumbest part of the 1950s. Boo hoo
Yer Bob, ever thought that maybe she reaped what she sowed? Do you have any real examples of this supposed Labor-Greens hypocrisy?
And do you not think Howard having her prosecuted and locked up for electoral fraud was bullying a female MP? Or is it that the right-wingers can do no evil even when it’s later proven in court?
BTW how’s your One Nation candidacy going? I see your vote has fallen from a massive 6% at the height of Australia’s Howard-invoked racist children overboard era to a massive 1.5%, mirroring Pauline’s relevance. You’re writing to the wrong paper if you think EchoNet online will resurrect your political aspirations. Or Paulines. She’s dudded you, taken the $$ and ran.
