to be a misogynist a man must hate women, personally i can't see any evidence of this in tony abbott, he don't hate women and the suggestion he does is dumb. he may be old fashioned but so is my dad, he may not be politically correct but that's refreshing and authentic after a season of politically correct thought police, he may not have the sound bytes and the media personality that the tv loves but i rather some one who is paying off a mortgage, volunteers as a surf life guard, takes his family to arnhem land every year to live with an aboriginal community as volunteers, than a bunch of inner city trendy androids who think they should inflict their moral superiority upon us, because we can't be responsible for ourselves. i'm a libertarian by default but i am a member of the australian sex party because they seem to have reasonable policies. i don't give a shit about labour of liberal, to me they are both completely useless but i refuse to follow the trend of being some sort of green left because it's fashionable, i refuse to accept their ideology when time and again it fails or blows up in their face. how dare these people accuse the opposition leader of being a misogynist while covering up for one. how dare the government blame tony abbott for everything when he is not the government, some one should remind them. the trouble with the sydney morning herald and the abc is that they surround themselves with like minded people, they read journalists that support their own views, which is why the news show the drum, only ever has the same old faces from the left who banally repeat the same old agenda. support the government at any cost, demonise the liberals. the sad truth is these people should actually get away from their own kind and actually engage with the community, get a wider perspective. i think they would be shocked as to how people feel about labour. let me state now, labour will be wiped from the map in the next election, they are finished and it appears the abc and the herald are the last to really know. they will be sitting in their studios and desks scratching their heads wondering, what the hell happened. i'll tell you, labour fucked up, from pink bats, to stabbing an elected leader in the back, from the massive waste of tax payers money to the unions, the think tanks, the nbn that no one wants or uses, the debt, the borders, immigration fiasco and the carbon tax, craig thompson and peter slipper. it's not that the public won't absorb a bad government, they have, but what the public won't tolerate is when instead of taking responsibility the opposition is blamed, for everything. 
i listen to parliament live, i always have, it's a far cry from the beast that makes it to tv screens and newspapers. question time is a joke, the government never answer the questions, this has been going on for years, they just blame abbott. after a while my sympathy's for the government began to turn, i see them now as a bunch of thugs who have hijacked the country and held it to ransom, destroying manufacturing, industry, and making the cost of living here insanely expensive, their ideology does not have the mandate of the public, it's not democratic as there are two independents in this so called hung parliament who no longer represent their constituents, both resigned but are still in the government as independents. their electorate didn't even get a say in it and by all accounts they are not happy. finally on the misogynist claim, julia gillard i ask you this,   
there are many women who are disgusted with the labour party, are they misogynists?
