In Moscow, German iron lady, Angela Merkel, actually shirtfronted the
Russian President, Vladimir Putin , when she firmly told him at a public event that he had to get
out of the Ukraine and stop
supporting the separatists . Putin looked ferret-eyed , peeved by her strong
words. It will be recalled that PM Tony
Abbott promised to shirtfront Putin in Brisbane at the
G20 extavaganza over the outrageous shooting down of
the Malaysian Airlines MH17 passenger jet over the Ukraine,
but did no such thing , apparently only warning
him to watch out that a Koala did not
piss on him at the
expensive photo opportunity.
Now
a panel of three prominent female political reporters,Niki Savva (The
Australian ) , Laura Tingle (Australian Financial Review ) and Annabel Crabb
(ABC platforms and popular polly waffle cooking series ) on the
latest ABC TV Insiders
could be said to have
also really shirtfronted
Abbott / Hockey et al over the latest budget.
Was
that unladylike expression – crap
– uttered by one in connection with the claimed
credible path to a surplus ? Savva spoke of the government mucking up the selling of the child care/maternity leave package for MUMS with talk of rorters and fraudsters . One powerful
comment was that the government has no day to day plan. This is why the empty slogans continue to flow
thick and fast , MUMS repeated like subliminal
, brain washing advertising.The Coalition really loves all you MUMS , especially if you leave the kids
in day care, with a nanny , a dog handler or passing swaggie and go out and snare one of
those elusive jobs .
Surely it was an extreme statement by one of the three
wise women to say the government now felt its members,
who had been hiding in the cupboards in
their electorate offices, to come out and have something good to say to voters? And was that pull no punches economist Judith Sloan,of The Australian , heard moaning after the budget was read ? If so , it was probably due to
the pain inflicted by reading the Budget papers, not as a result of the biological and domestic burden women bear.
And just to show how much the government loves all yuz femmes , there was only one line in the massive rubbery Budget documents dealing with women in general.
