Labors snobbery and childish mockery of the disadvantaged

[mellie]

Now as Julia Gillard prepares to embark on a five day visit to Western Sydney, Cabinet Minister Mark Butler has mocked the Prime Minister’s Western Sydney sleepover:

Mark Butler:

There are so many different sort of double entendres you can do with this place. I stay at the Penrith Panthers when I’m in western Sydney because I’m not sure I could check into the Rooty Hill RSL with a straight face. It just conjures up all these sort of Carry On films and Benny Hill episodes and Carry On Governing filmed at the Rooty Hill RSL.

Listen to the audio here:

Blacktown City scores 972.8 on the SEIFA index of disadvantage, indicating it is more disadvantaged that the national average.

Charming, coming from Labors Mark Butler, Minister for Mental Health and Aging, and for Social Inclusion and apparently assisting our Prime Minister with Mental Health Reform also.

And whilst we're on the subject of Labors Ministers deriding one of our nations more socially disadvantaged suburbs, I will just add, he's our Minister for Housing and Homelessness too.

Recall, this was the same "Social Inclusions Minister" who was given cheat sheets by public servants to tell him what his job meant after he struggled to explain his new cabinet-level portfolio.


Tell me, how do you be a Minister for social inclusion whilst publicly mocking those who need including most?


This governments care bag is officially empty.

[Aussie]

Yeah....just like your head.

[mellie]

Yeah....just like your head.

Oh, great response, did you need one of Gillards public servants cheat sheets or did you think of it all by yourself?


Clever cabbie you.

I have to say everytime I drove past the Rooty Hill RSL I could not keep a straight face either. Well that was 25 years ago. Always wondered what sort of girls live in Rooty Hill.

Other leaders travel the world stay. Gillard goes to see what the Westies do. Looks like the beginning of a campaign otherwise why would you bother.

I feel sorry for anyone growing up in some of those westie suburbs. Mt Druit and other. Man what a failure in social planning. A failure of the 60 and 70s.

It's a competition you see, as to who can spend the most nights in Western Sydney's Rooty Hill, this and manage to keep a straight face.

On the day that Jules announced the election date, she advised that she didn't want to start “the nation’s longest election campaign” then promised “governing first, electioneering second”.

Though....

Instead of working everyday to protect Australian jobs, and make life better for those living in disadvantaged areas like Rooty Hill, Julia Gillard and Wayne Swan have only been focused on grabbing votes.

Normally at this time of year, governments work around the clock preparing the Budget, though with Labor having already snubbed this commitment, we are now left with a ministry of tactless childish clowns making a mockery out of the the very electorates they aim to please.

Why don't they just concede their miserable defeat now and be done with it?

Why shuffle pessimistically off the the polls clenching fistfuls of tax payers hard earned money and continue assuming pseudo portfolios they have no intentions of taking seriously?

They should be sacked, and if they had any decency this and respect at all for their fellow Australian they'd call an election now.

Because they know fine well they don't stand a chance in hell of being reelected, so why waste money on a futile campaign they know is pointless?

Now as Julia Gillard prepares to embark on a five day visit to Western Sydney, Cabinet Minister Mark Butler has mocked the Prime Minister’s Western Sydney sleepover.


Note: Tony Abbott has spent 47 days in Western Sydney since the last election - 47 days!

This said, we will probably find a crumpled Gillard trying to make up for lost time sleeping on the floor at Rooty Hill RSL .... because 47's a hard act to follow when you cant even lie straight in your own electorates bed.



Might I make a suggestion to both Gillard and Mark Butler, our Minister for Disadvantaged and Homeless mockery?


Perhaps it would be a nice touch to sleep-out with some of Blacktowns homeless residents and hug some black babies for a change also,(Gills prefers to hug the white ones) or would this be a bit of an over-kill?


They say history always repeats itself, .... Remember The battle for Rooty Hill 2010?

Agreed!

Sadly, these suburbs weren't always like this,(Things changed for the worse in the 80's) now it's officially been declared our Citys refugee and illegal immigrant dumping ground.

Depressing.

Rooty Hills... snickers
