Qld: Brough, Brough - Liberals's Dog Whistling Menu

\

Prime Minister Julia Gillard said Mr Abbott’s refusal to disendorse Mr Brough is part of a pattern of behaviour.

“This is Tony Abbott’s Liberals, this is what they are like,” she said.

“The real risk for Australia is that if Mr Abbott was ever to be prime minister it wouldn’t be a question of what is on fundraising menus, we’d see this lack of respect for women littered throughout all of his policy documents.”

“Lets go through the pattern of behaviour here. Mr Abbott personally has gone and stood next to signs that describe me in a sexist way. We have had the young Liberals hosting a function where jokes were cracked about the death of my father. And now we have Mr Brough and Mr Hockey at a function with this grossly sexist and offensive menu on display. Join the dots.”
