Tony Abbot: Australia's New Minister for Women
- Thread starter bg23
- Start date
just cleverly continuing the ruse.
you can expect within the next few days my SO is going to pop up here and start a thread outting me.
he'll be like, "so we finally got married and i asked to see her birth certificate and that's when i found out - ALL THIS TIME i thought i was marrying an australian it turns out she's fucking icelandic. i have never been so betrayed in my life. this person is the scum of the earth."
then the lit mob and the twitterbrigade will swarm to mob me (because that's what we do, you know - and UD will have been proven right! i was your next victim, woe is me) and you will all run me off the board in shame.

Are these quotes real?
I mean, has this guy actually said these things and yet been picked as the Minster for Women?

it'll be the most boring drama in the history of lit.
hey, do you reckon i could pass for an english person? like if i went to england and talked the way i do, could i fit in with the locals? i can do this terrible cockney accent but the only thing i can say is something tea and crumpets something shine your boots guvner.

These are real quotes. He's actually the Prime Minister of Australia - and the PM gets to pick his own portfolio, so he's given himself Minister of Women.

I still can't get over the shock of it.
Sure, most people think it but who actually says these kind of things out loud any more.
...and then gets voted in as the leader of the nation, right?
my country is either full of idiots unable to read or full of misogynistic and racist twatbags.
or both.
and there's this:
because why wouldn't the indigenous people of australia, slaughtered almost to extinction, be proud of this country's "british heritage"?
(before he took the women's portfolio he talked about taking the indigenous portfolio)

Did he say all these things before he was picked as PM?
This is like from some other era... good lord his predecessor was a woman!
I'm guessing women aren't going to fare too well in his cabinet.

seriously, does this guy post here? because he sounds like renard or equivalent.
Yes, as a woman I'd want to focus my aptitude on alleviating menstrual cramps and have no concern with any other issues.
You know, someone saying stuff like this on internet forums is funny but for a nation's PM to say so... SCARY.

He kinda has a point....women in America have had several generations to take over the government with all their mighty girl power they never shut the fuck up about.....WELL? ANY FUCKING TIME SWEETHEART!!!!
Why would Aussie women be any different? If they are so different what is stopping them from steam rolling the entire Aussie government? Why is that twat of a PM you have the fucking PM?
What happened to all the girl power talk about how women are REALLY the one's in control of shit.....

There is only one woman in his cabinet, Julie Bishop.
And the jury is still out as to whether she's a woman or a cyborg.

I was wondering what the hell "Minister of Women" was and how the hell a dude got it.

This will cause some heated mud-slinging when Parliment resumes.
Remember, the new Minister for Women made that famous mysogynistic comment that prompted Julia Gillard to make her rant!

Aaaaw, lookit you guys. You fuck up just like Americans!!
There were an assload of people complaining about this on Tumblr when it first happened, and all us Americans were just like, "I know. I know. You need a hug."
And I stand by it. We have been there before. If you need to talk about it.

This is our famous two-party voting system at work.
Heck - in Australia, even if you only got 106votes, preferences means you can have a political seat!
All hail democracy!

Yes, he has said that and plenty more.
He is a fucking toss pot - a classic RW nut job.
He's the PM of Australia *cringe*
He only got in because the Labor Party took their eye off the ball as they were all busy stabbing each other in the back.
Back in the day he started out on a career path towards becoming a.....Jesuit Priest.
Yep, we've got a doozey this time folks

oh yes. our new prime minister is a misogynistic creationist who thinks climate change isn't real.
so there's that.
