I hear Adolf Turd on the central coast mention that it was time for the adults to run the country again. This from a violent, abusive, misogynist who runs mindless childish antics with his pet poodle every day the parliament runs

Abetz and spirituality should never be mentioned in same sentence.

True, but “ecumenism” was a bit narrow, however more ironic 🙂

Wasn’t his father a member of the Hitler Youth

Yes, I think that I read that somewhere, his father, or perhaps his uncle.

It is true that he was drummed out for being too hard line ?

This is from SMH, March 2, 2008. I also emailed a photo to Emmjey to post it here(if he can)
“A RELATIVE of senior Liberal politician Eric Abetz was Adolf Hitler’s ambassador in occupied France and was later convicted as a Nazi war criminal.
Senator Abetz, the deputy Liberal leader in the Senate, last night volunteered that his great uncle Otto Abetz had been a high-ranking Nazi as he sought to head off what he said was a slur by association. He confirmed that Otto Abetz was Nazi ambassador to occupied France, where he is believed to have ordered anti-Jewish drives and adopted a style that earned him the nickname King Otto I.

Abetz objected to an aboriginal smoking ceremony when the government opened a new ABC building – they abandoned the old one in Brisbane after seeing an alarming number of breast cancer cases there. He has also said that Judeo-Christianity is superior to the other religions. Lovely chap – such a Christian kind of guy.

I am sure he would never be in parliament if he stood for a Rep seat. He is not even fit to live in a sewer.

The only way grubs would hold any sort of seat in Tasmania in the long run is in the senate. After all it only requires something like 20 or 30,000 to return a senator there. It’s harder to get into the reps there.

Exactly. Having an accent is always fine by me but I wonder how he managed to keep such a strong one which also sounds so unfriendly. Plain awful. He also seems incapable of smiling. Actually none of the Libs in parliament can truly smile. It is a know-all inverted sneer combined with an unfunny eye role. And the laugh is also a specific talent of the Libs – it is a telling I know better than you, ha you fool, what do you know.
I unfortunately know all this to be the absolute truth because of my mother. They are haters. Can you imagine someone hating their daughter to the point of not just disinheriting her and cutting her off but cutting off your granddaughters too. If I had been a Liberal supporter things might have been different. But I couldn’t do that or even contemplate it.

Some of them have some ratber stupid looks. Poodles looks like someone out of Monty Python. The voice of the 1920’s looks like she permanently sucks lemons. Of course Adolf Turd looks like what he is a violent abusive thug.

Viv, I’m sorry to hear about your Mum cutting you – and granddaughters off – over something as trivial as politics.
My paternal grandfather cut off my Dad because Dad married a woman whose parents were at one time Catholics. In the hierarchy of evil, I think religious bigotry trumps political bigotry.
Later my maternal grandparents followed Adventism for a few years after the Port Macquarie Adventists saved Nan’s life by sending her off to the SAN in Sydney for a thyroid operation – for free (it was 1938). And the Adventist families in their home town looked after Mom, her brother and sister while Nan recuperated – fed, clothed, housed the siblings and sent them to school.
Apparently I was Christened Church of England, but I don’t recall our family ever going to Church. Mom and Dad seemed to be pretty much over religion.
I’m surprised that right wing parents cut off their left wing kids over politics. I mean isn’t right wing supposed to be fundamentally about the freedom of the individual to sink or swim in the capitalist marketplace ? But then I guess I’ve come to believe that one cannot expect much good from folks who place money before people.

A lot more to it than politics though it was a biggie. She hated my father because he wasn’t as perfect as her own father. She was twisted in so many ways. She started to hate me because I loved my father and didn’t share her attitude. We had truces (although it was she who always did the fighting) but she always reverted to her default hate. People did strange things way back but it does still go on. We see it in Abbott.

My mother’s a bit like that. Ironed on bloody liberal, although she’s working class through and through. Happy to crap on about the unions ruining the bloody country, but has always enjoyed the pay rises her colleague’s union won. A union official even spent a whole day sorting out some pre-retirement paperwork she’d buggered up, yet she’s still quite happy to call them everything under the sun. I asked her if she had paid the union for his wages, or, perhaps joined the union for that year. “NO bloody way.” Was the reply!

I completely understand. Though I know them I still can’t figure out the lack of understanding in so many things. But we see it daily on the Drum and in comments on stuff in the SMH for example.
