Jaymes - spelt with a "y" Diaz, Liberal candidate for Greenway, is a sign of what to expect from an Abbott government. This bloke hasn't got a clue what the party policies are, although this is no surprise - none of them do.
If Diaz wins he will be paid $200,000 a year to eat at the trough. What an embarrassment he is, but then the Libs are obviously desperate.
Would you want this bloke representing you.
Do any of the Abbott's lovers know what the Direct Action plan is?
EMBARRASSED Liberal candidate for Greenway Jaymes Diaz appears to still be unaware of the Coalition's border protection policy. be unaware of the Coalition's border protection policy.
Mr Diaz was attending the launch of Tony Abbott's western Sydney campaign bus in Penrith when he was approached by media. He was warmly greeted by Mr Abbott.
But asked today if he wanted a chance to redeem himself for his earlier gaffe, Mr Diaz looked stony-faced. He dodged almost all media questions.
"Gotta get out there and campaign," he said as he rushed to a waiting car.
Mr Diaz embarrassed himself last week when he was unable to name the key points in the Coalition's border protection policy.
Mr Diaz, who Mr Abbott never wanted on his Liberal team after he failed to win NSW's most marginal seat of Greenway in 2010, first said the Coalition had a six-point plan to stop boats but was then stumped when asked by Channel 10 reporter John Hill what the plan was.
"We have a six-point plan to make sure we do stop the boats," Mr Diaz said while holding the Coalition's policy book Real Solutions.
Mr Diaz was unable to name all the key points in the policy and was also unprepared for questions about the Coalition's paid parental leave scheme.
What a joke. Abbott doesn't have a clue about his female candidates - only that they're sexy. Wow - what a macho statement.
Lips puckered in passion - he shows the media that he would dig a bit of rough from his "sexy" candidate.
The Opposition Leader yesterday said one of the key attributes of Liberal candidate for Lindsay Fiona Scott was that she had a "bit of sex appeal".
He later backtracked and said he had been "a bit exuberant" in his description of Ms Scott.
Today, Mr Abbott said he had copped a bit of backlash from his daughters.
When he made the remark about Ms Scott, his daughter Frances, 21, was standing next to him.
"As the kids suggested to me, I had a dad moment," Mr Abbott said.
"A daggy dad moment."
Finance Minister Penny Wong this morning said she was not surprised by Mr Abbott's remarks about Ms Scott, made when he was asked to compare her to former Liberal member for Lindsay Jackie Kelly.
"I wasn't surprised," Senator Wong told ABC News 24.
"It is consistent with the views he's had over many years about women."
Labor MP Deb O'Neill said she was "completely appalled" by Mr Abbott's comments.
She said his words demeaned Ms Scott to a mere sex symbol and Mr Abbott was "unfit to be prime minister".
"Mr Abbott's comments follow a long pattern of ignorance towards the substantive role that women play in our community," Ms O'Neill told News Corp Australia.
"Belittling his own candidate as merely a sex symbol is completely unacceptable, and should not have a place in modern Australian politics.
"The fact that Mr Abbott continues to hold such dated views about women, and continues to make these inappropriate comments, makes him totally unfit to be prime minister."
Yup, new deadwood—got to hand it to the Libs—only they would recruit new deadwood.
More important whether you are a Catholic, esp Opus Dei, or sponsored by a Lib who is in Opus Dei. That, apparently is more important than quality of the new recruits.
That female candidate has a Uni degree, sorry, can’t recall what it was, BA perhaps. Typically, Abbott doesn’t pay any heed to that, after all she is but a woman!
Abbott frequently makes me feel that I should check the date to see if we really are in the 21st century!

It's quite strong in here. Overpowering in fact...smells like stale beer.
