I cannot tolerate the audience. They automatically applause to confirm herd approval. There is no microsecond pause to digest and think about the answer. They remind me of the sheep in animal farm.

Well done Eric for speaking out about the bias of the ABC. The left's jeering is despicable.

@ellicattube

Ever heard the expression 'assuming a position to get a position'?

She probably fucked the right people on her way to becomming a lawyer.

Seen this many times through life. Females with no ability, talent or skill getting positions because of who they've had sex with.

[ellicattube]

And the winner is......Eric Abetz !

...the loser is the lawyer woman. How did she ever get to become a lawyer ?

God help us if the Greens have anymore power than they have already. I think Bob should look out for his job. Well done to Eric Abetz. I lived in Tasmania and have family still living there. I know how hard it is for them as far as employment. Very easy to say that there are opportunities for people in the service areas, perhaps there are people who would like to find employment opportunities in somewhere other than that. The tourism industry is seasonal what do they do at other times.

Pretty ironic that the Left are now complaining about the "hostile" nature of the Carbon protesters.

We NEVER had ANY "hostile" protests against John Howard, America, Israel, etc. during the past 15+ years now, did we?

I love Eric Abetz!

He is such a funny man!

Always makes a giant tool of himself by cherrypicking evidence to suit his retarded vision of the world.

Christine Milne at 18:00 "We’ll also have a look at a range of other issues including who are fit and proper people into into whether we need that test into people to be running media outlets."

Just imagine the government having the power to dictate who is a fit and proper person to be running a media outfit. Can there be any doubt that the Greens are closet anti free press authoritarians?
