Harpodom Posted October 13, 2014 Author Share Posted October 13, 2014 I'm sure Putin will be literally $hitting himself at the prospect of being 'shirtfronted' by Captain Australia at the G20. What DOES it mean? Is it the opposite of being 'shirtlifted'? Abbot's increasingly desperate attempts at ingratiating himself with the bogan battler true blue vote ('Team Australia', everything being described as 'unAustralian' or 'not barracking for the home side') and now this unfathomable claptrap, suggests to me that he may be suffering from some sort of acquired brain injury. From his boxing days perhaps? http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/oct/13/tony-abbott-says-he-will-shirtfront-vladimir-putin-over-downing-of-mh17 [h=1]Tony Abbott says he will ‘shirtfront’ Vladimir Putin over downing of MH17[/h] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harpodom Posted October 13, 2014 Author Share Posted October 13, 2014 Abbbott seems to be on a roll....I think he forgot he needs to STFU: let the rest of his cabinet do the gaffes and make him look statesmanlike by comparison. Tony Abott, Prime Minister, Scotland's Quasi First Minister, Minister for Women, Captain Australia, Shock Jock Star Guest, Prominent Coal Rights Activist and 'Shirtfronter'...........5 points Joe Hockey, Treasurer and Minister of Aesthetic Beauty and Official Arbiter of What a University is Allowed to Invest in.........2 points Christopher Pyne, Education Minister and Vice Chancellor of the University of Hard Knocks.........1 point Ian Macfarlane, Industry Minister and amateur horticulturalist..........1 point Ewan Jones, Fat Cat and Minister of Tough Love......nul points Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harpodom Posted October 13, 2014 Author Share Posted October 13, 2014 Cos if Putin is not an Ausssie, WTF is he supposed to make of this rather bizarre statement, parley? Nice attempt at trying to play the man rather than he ball there BTW, to use a generic football term Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parley Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Tony Abbott wasn't talking to Putin, he was talking to Australians about Putin. A shirt front is like a hip and shoulder bump, where you bump someone aggressively to the front of the body, where they haven't seen it coming.

A shirt front is like a hip and shoulder bump, where you bump someone aggressively to the front of the body, where they haven't seen it coming. Ah of course, a true statesmanlike move. That will make Australia look such a civilised country when Abbott "aggressively shoulder bumps" Putin to the front of his body!! :biglaugh: You couldn't make it up sometimes.....

Parley Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Its lucky Hitler isn't alive. No doubt you would all take his side against Tony Abbott too. So far I have seen you all criticise Tony Abbott for taking a stand against ISIS and now Putin. I suppose its lucky Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot and others aren't around any more.

Diane Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 I don't think we are criticising him for taking a stand against Putin, just for HOW he is planning to do it! For goodness sake, the man is a total embarrassment And to be fair, I think Abbbot and Hitler would probably be great pals, they have so much in common Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parley Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 That I a vile offensive thing to say. How dare you compare Tony Abbott to a man who organised the murder of millions of Jews.

You really disgust me sometimes with what you come out with. You should be ashamed of yourself. your right, one of them was a politician with the power and finesse to convince the electorate that invading countries and having a race of people lower than them was the 'norm' have you known a politician since with such a golden tongue and such power? most of the nazi party thought they were the good guys. in comparison our tony probably needs help to tie his own laces. jesus, the bloke needs a war to get a budget through! please don't confuse this and think i like hitler, i'm just open minded enough to know he must have been a great politician, to do what he did.

Parley Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 No he just ruled with fear. Anyone dissenting would be murdered. That doesn't make him a good politician. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parley Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 And don't even compare them. That is just so offensive to any Jewish person who happens to be reading this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flybyknight Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 not strictly true, he ruled with fear and unease, pretty much the same tools our leaders use now. and... to not speak of something through fear of reprisal of offense is when inequality is allowed to take root.

Harpodom Posted October 13, 2014 Author Share Posted October 13, 2014 Instilling fear in the public (to distract them from a vile, nasty offensive budget), threatening the media if they step out of line, introducing custodial sentences for journalists who report on ANY security operation EVER, demonising a group of voiceless defenceless people whilst sticking up the rights of a *mineral*, trying (unsuccessfully) to unlock world heritage protected forest for logging, saying people have a right to be bigots, criticising a university for divesting in mining, saying wind farms are 'utterly offensive', poor people don't drive cars and that scientists are precious petals who should just STFU. Does the above sound like the 'adults are in charge'? Or does it sound like they ran out of actual ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flag of convenience Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 (edited) Ah of course, a true statesmanlike move.

And Putin reacts with a judo move in which we witness Abbott sprawled out on the deck on his back. All rather embarrassing.

Lousy chess players. Akin to an out of control Billy Cart without breaks on a steep decline clueless how to correct let alone stop. All very sad though.
