Remember the uproar when Abbott....
Mar 28th, 2017 at 7:24pm
 
said women do the ironing?

Yet in the supermarket yesterday looking at a can of starch to buy in Sharjah, UAE.

Look at what we have on sell?

So really - how come nobody has an issue with it......

perhaps because the people who called Abbott out when he said it (and I'm guessing here) don't travel to UAE to shop. Cheesy Cheesy

My point being John - its hardly an out dated view is it.

I never got the uproar at the time and I still don't.

In a country where women risk being stoned to death for pre-marriage sex or adultery, sure.

However in Australia it is considered an outdated view. Hence the uproar over Abbott.

anything Tony said or did.. they roared about..

like the spiraling debt.. Roll Eyes

imagine those poor dear muslim women ironing those  white outfits their men wear whilst they are covered in black from head to toe....

funny that..

when in Dubai we had a guy on our bus tour  dressed in white with his son strapped to his chest.in a baby pouch... followed by his entourage of 4 females.covered in their preverbal black  Burqas

as daddy had his pic taken with son on the beach...lol...the females all stood behind him..dunno if they were smiling for the camera .... but he was... omg. it was painful to watch....

funny, two threads on the debt yesterday and I didn't see you didn't comment on any of them. In case you missed it, libs have now officially more than doubled labors debt, in just over half the time it took labor. Ohhh, and they had no GFC.

Cheesy Cheesy

and guess who blocked everything....and I mean EVERYTHING...to reign it in...out of spite...not for the good of the country....

its now where it will never be reigned in...and the left will always be held responsible...always..once you start on the slippery hill of debt.. it spirals out of control   unless you all work together.. and with shortarse in opposition that will never happen. Angry Angry

Yes, but he was shadow minister for women's affairs when he discussed the ironing.

Mr Abbott said he takes it out. A little lady at the dry cleaners does it.
