Researching Tony Abbott

[mellie]

A few of you, (mostly the left) have seemingly struggled to find information relating to Tony Abbotts familial origins, and assumed that because they struggled to research correctly themselves, information concerning Tony Abbotts family and his past didn't exist.

Some even went so far as to insinuate that the reason for a "lack" of information concerning his parents was due to some sort of conspiracy, a cover-up of some description, really, this made me laugh given I found the desired information in under 3 minutes.

Then again, I know how and where to look for things, clearly Aussie and Boxy do not.

(Note the Labor bias in the above article as early as 1994 even ...lol )


There now Aussie... I managed to find out who his parents are, this and his sister also, which leads me to believe either you are not overly capable in the art of research, or are just a bloody liar.

Possibly a little of both.

Now Aussie, just because Tony isn't an exhibitionist like your Julia Gillard, who never misses a photo opportunity, this and has taken a fancy to introducing the world to her parents, isn't to say Tony Abbott has something to hide, as has been demonstrated.

Gillard's daughter is nice. I mean that "Tim" person is her daughter, right?

[mellie]

And I'm sure Julia Gillard is just as proud of her de-facto diesel-dyke stepdaughter Staci Child ...







Step-mummy issues, or a chip off the old block?

Disrespectful whichever way you look at it.


Staci 'wild' Child has matured over the last few years, as in, she's aged about 20 years.
Probably due to the ice or crack.

His father was a dentist and his mother had a science degree. A former pilot who, much to his disappointment, never flew in the war, his father had wanted to be a priest and always impressed on his son that it was better to be a good man than a successful one. There were four siblings, with Abbott the only boy. He was spoiled and, as one sister later remarked, “Tony was always the star”. His mother thought so highly of him that she predicted he would become either pope or prime minister. With this sort of parental adoration it was no wonder that Abbott was a loud-mouthed, attention-seeking boy who saw himself as always being in the right.

How dare you post "The Monthly"

[mellie]

Really Mantra, you get your scoop from the Daily Menstrual, oh, I mean 'The Monthly'?....

It's notoriously left as much as it's feminist.

No self respecting author would be caught dead writing for it,(these days, post 2009 due to the 'unquotable' controversy surrounding it's new breed of editorial) much less post a link to it here.

Gosh!



Mantra, that publication is known for it's radical feminism and leftardism.

It would be like me posting a 'Menzies House' publication supporting my disappointment with Julia Gillard....only far less tacky.




A little about the author who wrote the article you posted Mantra...

What does it matter where my material is sourced from? It is no worse than the crap the right whingers are spouting here.

According to Aussie it matters, and actually, it is worse.

The rightys might post an article from Piers or Bolt here and there but the Monthly is whole devoted entire rag to leftwing views.
Even News Ltd has left and rightwing journos on board- imagine that! Your evil Murdoch news corp is more balanced than your source
