Hypocrisy = Tony Abbott… Ambition without a real man!
As we all know, this political cycle has been well documented, and will go down in
Australia’s history, as one of the most divisive and appalling political chapters in living memory. There are many reasons for this, including ;
- The longest dummy spit in history, by Abbott and his LNP, acting like spoilt brats and sore losers.
- The lies and spin from Abbott and his LNP, and regurgitated ad-infinitum by the MSM , led by that paragon of mendacity, Murdoch.
- There have been numerous attempts at trying to remove a duly elected government by underhanded, deceitful, dishonest and dare I say illegal means, all of which appear to have Tony Abbott and his LNP’s grubby mitts all over them.
- Murdoch’s mendacious MSM fawning over Abbott like he is Australia’s own messiah!
Now, it would take more time than I care to spend (in fact I would probably still be writing the list after the election) to make a complete list, and so lets return to the main subject of “Hypocrisy”, and why when you look up the meaning of the word, you should see a photo of Abbott and, at least, his entire front bench, if not the whole of the LNP!
The dictionary says; hypocrisy |hiˈpäkrisē|noun ( pl. -sies)the practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one’s own behavior does not conform; pretense.
In recent years a specific type of hypocrisy has come to be referred to by many as “right wing projection or RWP”, whereby they (Abbott and his LNP) accuse their political opponents of doing something that they are actually guilty of themselves, for example:
- Julia Gillard tells lies?
This statement was, as we all know, based on the infamous “There will be no carbon tax…” statement which many also know was taken out of context, and out of a much longer sentence that was conveniently shortened to prove their (LNP) point.
So the truth is that Abbott, not Gillard lied!
Now the truth is also that long before most of us had heard of Julia Gillard, Abbott was telling real porkies, like the time he lied to the AEC over a certain “Slush Fund” that he set up to destroy a political opponent for his own and his party’s political gain.
Which incidentally was another classic case of RWP, as he later accused and then spent months trying to prove that PMJG had done exactly what he had done in setting up a slush fund for nefarious purposes, but to no avail.
But not content with his original lie, he then went on to tell all who would listen that Whyalla would be wiped off the map, that businesses would go broke, that power bills would go through the roof, and the world as we know it would come to an abrupt end.
Of course none of these predictions came to pass and some, like his claim that emissions will only increase, which he is still repeating, is a blatant lie as power production emissions have already decreased significantly (by well over 8%).
Then there are his claims that this minority government is illegitimate, dysfunctional and a failed experiment.
His claim of illegitimacy is based solely on the fact that despite him being a good Catholic boy and leading a right wing party, he couldn’t negotiate to form a minority government with a handful of conservative independents.
Instead they came to an agreement with an agnostic, Labor WOMAN, who they determined was more honest and trust worthy.
When he says that this government is “Dysfunctional”, one can only assume that he is referring to the fact that they (the right wing nut jobs) are the only ones capable of implementing good economic and public policies, as has been demonstrated, as the norm, across most of the developed world to such wide acclaim, when all that this “Dysfunctional” government could achieve is;
