Frankstongate: Declan Stephenson intimidates female Greens voter

As Tony Abbott pushed his vengeful NeoCon apocalyptic anti-Carbon Tax hatred at Frankston on July 13th, he and his attendant minions were suitably wound up by Greens member Vicky Kasidis. Vicky was heckled by the evidence denialist crowd. Being a former militant leftist she took this in her stride.
After the Abbott style "Evangelical Amway For Wreckers" had pumped his crowd into submitting to his idea of making up reality as you go, things got ugly for Vicki.

As she was speaking to media, an apparently heavily pregnant - or perhaps pot-bellied - Declan Stephenson told Vicki to "get back under your rock".

Stephenson is a long time Liberal party member in the Dunkley FEC. Dunkley covers the majority of the City of Frankston and part of the Shire of Mornington Peninsula. Not happy with just verbal abuse of the very polite Vicki - who was invited to attend, and had RSVP'd - Stephenson took his anti-democracy show on the road.

The video is ample explanation of what occurred. Using his belly like a battering ram, the malfunctioning Neocon flying monkey Stephenson, follows Vicki with perhaps the best example of dysfunctional and cowardly passive-aggressive intention I've witnessed for ages. Vicki ends up trapped between a power pole and a pot belly as the seemingly witless Stephenson self sabotages. At one point he urges Vicki to go to the train station - her stated intention. Hilarious given the member for Dunkley, Bruce Billson opined in Declan's favour in parliament last September 30:

"It is important to acknowledge that team: Geoff Shaw, Robert Latimer, Declan Stephenson, Ted Galloway, Paul and Pam Amos, my mate Tim Smith and Barry MacMillan and too many more to names who just kept contributing day in and day out, whether it was at arctic dawns at railway stations through to the slog of letterboxing with a campaign that needed to be quite resourceful, given the funds available."

Both indiviiduals have a right to hold their own views, and that played out in the community meeting - and even Abbott acknowledged her right to support the Carbon Tax. Their expressions of views should have ended there. What followed was unarguably an attempt to menace the Greens supporter. Following her down the street despite being asked to leave her alone was nothing short of thuggery

and bullying. The behaviour was menacing, and was meant to be menacing. DS is a thug. End of story.

Such awful and immature behaviour. I hope the bloke has a look at himself.

[floydmatt987]

Have a cry bitch. Why attend a conference with only the intention of stirring trouble?

[TheDavosown]

@byroninwahroonga Well I do not see myself as a straight up supporter of the Greens (or any other political party) I vote based on who I think has the better policies at the time, in accordance with my own person values. Firstly, in Australia we are a nation that aims to have no class divide. I do care about our economy, I just do not think it is the only thing we should be concerned with.

@TheDavosown ***Abbotts direct action approach to climate change will inevitably cost more than a carbon tax would***

LOL. Since when do your kind care about tax on the productive class, Davo?

[petersj16]

This man is really mot a man at all but a disgrace.

[TheDavosown]

@byroninwahroonga Perhaps but they attack the government policies by way of schoolyard behaviour (i.e. you said you wouldn't so you can't) rather than by rational reason. They are turning our political system into a bigger circus than it ever has been. As for alternatives, well most of them are not feasible. Abbotts direct action approach to climate change will inevitably cost more than a carbon tax would, but apparently that's ok?

@byroninwahroonga - Maybe you can tell her to dress more appropriately the next time you see her on Mothers day?

[phonytonyabbott]

@byroninwahroonga - ahh yes, "we'll stop the boats".

But then he was forced to admit that he couldn't stop them all.

Oh, and what was he going to do? That's right, he would send them back to where they came from, or put them on Nauru.

So, wouldn't sending them back mean that they'd get sent back to Malaysia?

Tony Abbott is just like a used car salesman - he'll say whatever you want to hear to get a sale, and not mean a word of it.

Even Liberal supporters know it - don't you.

[phonytonyabbott]

@byroninwahroonga - Tony Abbott can't even decided whether he agrees with a carbon tax or not. Check his speech, "A REALIST'S APPROACH TO CLIMATE CHANGE".

"If Australia is greatly to reduce its carbon emissions, the price of carbon intensive products should rise."

"Still, a new tax would be the intelligent skeptic’s way to deal with minimising emissions because it would be much easier than a property right to reduce or to abolish should the justification for it change."

[phonytonyabbott]

@byroninwahroonga - what alternative policies? Tony Abbott keeps saying he has policies, but he also says he won't reveal them until the election.

So, I ask again, what policies?

Small business policy? Nope. Abbott claimed before the last election that they would go to the election with a policy of getting the "unfair dismissal monkey" off the back of small business.

The election was called, and Abbott curled up into a little ball and said he wouldn't make changes.

Abbott lied.
