he's the perfect sterotypical portrayal of the extreme left nutjob that the No vote is banking on.

I'm sure a fair minded magistrate would see the bigger picture and say well look what the Mad Misogynist Monk has done to Australia and how divisive the has been to the whole country let alone to the body politic of Australia then there may well be leniency involved: after all he did what most of us would like to have done too didn't he? I suspect justifable assault would be out of the question. |
Sure, it's no big deal to assault an elected MP because they have been "divisive" (one of the more ludicrous charges that can be brought against an MP in an adversarial democracy). We should assault them all until the "divisiveness" goes away. sigh. Hopefully the cocky jerk and his stupid grin receive a genuinely deterrent punishment, though he probably won't. _________________ Two more flags before I die! |

Considering the dreadful harm Abbott did to this country, the sheer smirking viciousness of the man in word and deed, the more sensible point to take away from this is the extraordinary, downright amazing forbearance or most Australians. We have been repeatedly provoked beyond any reasonable level by this disgusting creep, lied to and scammed over and over again, and yet the vast majority of us don't nut the bastard, don't give the cnut even a little of what he richly deserves, don't pull out a knife or a gun or a baseball bat or a horsewhip on the steps of his club.
This, in short, is an amazingly civilised and decent country and even Abbott has not been able to completely wreck it. Yet. _________________ �Let's eat Grandma.� Commas save lives! |

So why don't you have the guts to say what you actually mean?

I agree. Though using the term "intellectual" for a man of Abbott's limited brain capacity is stretching it a bit.
It is interesting to note that we don't see even the slightest attempt to defend or excuse the dreadful harm Abbott did to this country while he was opposition leader or while he was in charge.
I might add, as a by-the-by, that Ex Prime Minister Abbott is arguably doing good work for the very first time in his career. Although the Trumble Government has spinelessly continued with the disastrous Abbott-era policies, Abbott himself has spent the last two years working assiduously to bring that government down and make it unelectable. He came within an ace of success at the last election and, by redoubling his efforts since that time and no longer even pretending to be a loyal servant of the party, he has pretty much guaranteed that the Liberals will be out of office for a very long time.
Counter-intuitive as it seems, the current version of Abbott is the single most effective campaigner Labor has. He's doing brilliantly. _________________ �Let's eat Grandma.� Commas save lives!

No. Already voted and I don't pay attention to that shift from either side, but as we know, not everyone thinks the same way. _________________ Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down. |

You need to empathize with the perpetrator of the said assault. It seems it was on his bucket list of things to do:
"It was nothing to do with the 'yes' campaign, that was just a sticker that a friend stuck on me," he said.
"[It] was just a lifelong ambition to headbutt a fascist because I'm a skinhead that likes ska music and hates fascism. He's an evil c---, I'm an anarchist and I believe in human rights."
I mean with such persuasive and well thought out argument who can disagree with that? ahem.

Then again as some wag in the letters section in the Age noted: "Poor Tony. But it's good practice for any future meeting with Putin". _________________ “I even went as far as becoming a Southern Baptist until I realised they didn’t keep ‘em under long enough” Kinky Friedman |
