Roxon knew about Slipper's misogynistic SMS's 4 months ago

But that didn't stop her from coming out to smear Abbott about sexism when she herself is a bigger supporter of misogynistic actions

ATTORNEY-General Nicola Roxon has admitted being briefed on the lurid text messages that brought down Peter Slipper as Speaker before lodging court action claiming the case against him was vexatious four months ago.

After days of claiming that legal professional privilege prevented her from saying when she first knew of the messages, Ms Roxon last night confirmed she learnt of them between May 28 and June 15 when the government filed its application to have the case struck out claiming it was an abuse of process.

"Yes, we were certainly aware of the range of material that was provided," she told ABC's 7.30 Report.

Asked why the government tried to stop staffer James Ashby's sexual harassment case given the material, Ms Roxon said the vexatious application had nothing to do with the substance of allegations against Mr Slipper such as the content of the text.

"You can make an application that a matter is vexatious because it is bought from improper purpose it doesn't go to the content or the substance of the claim before the court," she said.

Her admission means Ms Roxon had known for four months about Mr Slipper's vulgar texts as she and other ministers pursued Mr Ashby publicly, supported Mr Slipper staying Speaker and also separately attacked Opposition Leader Tony Abbott.

It emerged yesterday Mr Slipper was choosing an artist for an official portrait, to cost taxpayers more than $30,000.

9 very very very very very loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg years.

Roxon makes me physically iol. She goes on and on about Abbott's (not true) misogyny yet says no thing about an actual misogynist all due to political expediency. I didn't hear her rubbish Gillard for turning her back on Abbott either.

How long have people in the Liberal Party known of Abbotts indecent assault charge and accusations by witnesses that he punched the wall next to a woman's head?

I am sure many knew that he had an incident he was found not guilty of.

Next.

Wasnt this dealt with in another thread about roxon weeks ago? Whats the matter maqqa did someone say something you didnt like so you started another one?

Basically WHO CARES. The messages werent against the law. They were on his own time. They were not a reason to be kicked out of parliament. In fact misogyny isnt a reason to be kicked out of parliament or abbott would be gone. The messages werent misogyny though. They were just 2 gay guys talking about women. And where are ashbys replies? They were deleted were they?

Why is there another thread on it? Its been dealt with.

maqqa do you think it should be illegal to swear on your own time in private?

SOB

But it's okay to slander Abbott over something that one woman claims occurred 30 very long years ago and of which no proof whatsoever has been offered or produced??? There's a name for fools like you - hypocritical.

Seriously if you hear someone swearing @ work are you obligated to tell your boss? swearing?

One woman (the victim) - and 2 witnesses.  Pretty overwhelming evidence really.

I don't really understand what the point of your statement was with respect to counteracting the fact the LIBERALS KNEW ABOUT SLIPPERS INDISCRETIONS FOR 9 LONG YEARS, but I guess we can talk about Tony's fisting experiences too.  See, 3 witnesses and Tony can't explain.  All Tony can do is first deny it ever happened, then tell us it was Labor's Dirt Unit, and THEN get Margie to tell us how good a husband he is.  If Tony ACTUALLY explained what had happened, like Gillard did, perhaps it would be a non-issue. But instead Tony went into hiding.

So you condone bullying now.  Nice to know.  Apparently bullying at 20 years of age is okay.  According to cods.

It's not about Mr Abbott, Sexy. It should be about Matty. He's gone to New Zealand with Shane B to avoid paying the carbon tax, His return to Australia in 2013 will be thunderous.

Since he's been in New Zealand there have hardly been any threads about Matty. Everyone wants to talk about Juliar and Mr Abbott.

I have no idea why.
