Quick to condemn Palmer after the fact but not during the rant

One person’s “harsh” is another’s “soft touch.” Most right-wing viewers would consider any treatment of Labor Party members short of being flayed alive, to be “soft touch”.

Q & A is a joke.
It promotes itself as the show “where you ask the questions” but Tony Jones appears to ask more questions than anyone else. He constantly interrupts conservatives (like Warren Truss last Monday) but gives free rein to “progressives”.
I thought that “independent” RBA board member Heather Riddout’s political comments were more offensive that what Palmer said and there have been plenty of potty mouthed panellists that are never challenged. Then there was the disturbed man that threw a sand shoe at John Howard.
I think you will find that Jones deliberately baited Palmer as revenge for Palmer walking out on his last interview with Jone’s wife, Sarah Ferguson on ABC TV’s 7.30.

Truss wasn’t interrupted, he was trying to sidestep the questions about the budget because he knows its an impossible sell due to some of the illogical and contradictory measures it contains. And anyone who’s seen Palmer’s antics before knows he needs no baiting.

Funny how Jones has never interrupted Swan or Wong as to why Labor failed to deliver 5 consecutive promised budget surpluses.

Really? I’ve seen him attack members of all parties fairly harshly.

Ive got a hint for you that might help. Next time you watch the show, remember to take your eyepatch off before it starts.

There’s the “miss me yet?” photo of Julia – after this, Pauline might be tempted to do something similar.

Still on the subject of regrets, I wonder whether Tony Jones regrets the first few chummy interviews he did with Clive, prior to last year’s election?

Yes, it is a very “Australian” thing to allow just about anybody to voice their views and opinions.

Vlad Putin wouldn’t like it, that’s for sure.

Nah – narcissists don’t experience regret!

That’s because “progressives” share information and honest analysis.

If “conservatives” could participate without feeling the need to repeat non-fact-based slogans, maybe they wouldn’t get interrupted.

Wow!

I think Penny Wong and Labor in general are letting the opposition hang themselves. Both the libs and PUP are seemingly do a good job of it lately. Then again they had 6 years to learn as well.

I think you meant to say “I think Penny Wong and Labor in general are letting the *government* hang themselves”. Makes more sense.

It was a classic Freudian slip.
Watto23, like lots of other Labor supporters are still in denial that the coalition won the last federal election and won it well.
