Election 2010: GetUp Tony Abbott Mashup

ByLaurel Papworth

Getup in Australia has had women in Australia speak election candidate Tony Abbott’s words – to an interesting effect. The long tail of political comment are not forgiven by the community if they are not addressed in a timely fashion.

After the last election, all the government websites were wiped. That’s how it works. You get a new government and a new archive of information. I’m not sure why they do that? So we can’t quote past history maybe?

Only now, we have the long tail of comments:

Interesting move – Having women say Tony’s words back to him. I should do one with this quote:

“What the housewives of Australia need to understand as they do the ironing is that if they get it done commercially it’s going to go up in price, and their own power bills when they switch the iron on, are going to go up,” Mr Abbott said.

What do you think?

Gratuitious hot guy. Please spell out I.R.O.N.Y before going all politically correct on me.

In 2007 I blogged on Kevin07 portal:

We will see more of ‘static portal hybrid hosted social networks’ for a while – companies and government distancing themselves from the challenges of social networks by outsourcing to social network platforms.

I was left unmoved by Barack Obama – great for fundraising, nary a thankyou in return (and a great wall of silence immediately he won) – so I’m hardly likely to be moved by “I am, I will, I am” tweets from broadcasting polllies in social spaces.

Ah but it could be so much more.

By the way quick question: have you ever had a politician respond on your blog with a comment? Or respond to your tweet? Lemme know?

  9. Thank you for making this ad with Tony’s comments. I was finding it hard to decide who to vote for but have now firmly decided to VOTE for TONY ABBOTT and the Liberal Party.

    I agree with every comment he made.

    Climate change IS crap…30000 scientists can’t be wrong.

    Abortion IS wrong. What about protecting the most vulnerable members of our society-the unborn-who is sticking up for their rights?

    Unemployed people SHOULD take whatever job is available. I have had to do cleaning and it keeps you fit and pays the bills-no shame in it.

    Women’s interest’s ARE different to men’s which means they may be represented differently. So what? Why would they want to share all the interest’s of men?

    Thanks for the info and keep up the good work.

    1. You missed a bunch of quotes – he spoke about women not being able to dominate or lead in a “large number of areas” not simply that women’s interests are different. And what about…
      “I won’t be rushing out to get my daughter vaccinated against cervical cancer”.
      Have another listen.

        1. Tony Abbott’s words, GetUp’s women/footage.
          James misunderstood more than that 😛

  11. Tony on sunday means work choices on monday, alter boys agree it is no fun to be screwed by an Abbott and a Bishop

  12. I figure give labour a fair go, we just had 4 terms of liberal leadership and when labour finally gets in they are faced with the worst financial crisis in generations and Australia came off better than any other nation. Howard didn’t do anything special in his first term but after a long run under labour we decided to give him a fair go and he went on to earn a third and fourth term. I believe you give em at least two terms but never a fourth because that is when they develop the God complex

  14. Why needs a new election that cost another $170 millions from people’s money for the good payment to all politician?

    $170 millions will create a wonderful “Health Olympic Australia” that directly benefits everyone in Australia within 3 years in their health creation, and wealth creation, and then benefit to everyone globally afterward?

    People demands fairer resources supported of lives today, not tomorrow, and not another 3 years on and on?

    There are at least five economic productivity outcomes will resulting significant GDP progressing from a “Health Olympic Australia” as follow:

    1. Reductions in Australian Health Workforce cost;
    2. Reduction in Healthcare cost;
    3. Reduction in lost productivity cost;
    4. Increase from agriculture outcome;
    5. Increase from “Health Olympic Australia” creation in goods/products exportation.
    Australia people will fill the miss opportunity to them should it exist today.

  15. What Australia hung parliament demonstrating deep in voter’s heart?

    Australia citizens now enter a very challenging political era for 70 years in the 2010 federal election, many reforms are demanding by voters are looking for a change with anger to share fairer resources supplied lives from the first term of government?

    Voters handed down their decisive votes during election time are looking for an efficient, effective and economically run government. A high transparency in less mistaken caused processing under no discriminately enforced services government. A long term wealth creative vision with fast action moving forward progressing resulting value add to voters benefits in each term of governing.

    Voters are crying for action right now to have improved resources support lives that suppose lead by a government in the following eight commitments:

    1. What vision of prosperity voters seen?
    2. Why action not enough in the past 3 years?
    3. How many election promises has been fulfilled?
    4. Where productivity motivation to voters?
    5. What materials to speed up election promises processing?
    6. Why some election promises in powerless process?
    7. How far transparency in each department service voters wanted?
    8. Where prioritized direction to empowerment the nation?

  16. Why believe coalition Supporting Local Communities?
    It’s all about power and money most Politicians and parties wanted above all and after all election?
    Just listen how Barry O’Farrell convincing voters: “Over the last four years I announced positive and practical policies which will help support local communities……..” .
    Take a look below the link subject: “Time for Action” in “Healthy Active Life” program that convert Broken hill into a Healthy Las Vergas Broken Hill economy? Link with http://www.streetcorner.com.au/news/showPost.cfm?bid=20747&mycomm=ES
    … , will you then still believe Barry O’Farrell’s announced positive and practical policies which will help support local communities……..” ?
    Will you also believe there were only 1-2 Politicians responding to this greatest “Healthy Las Vergas Broken Hill economy model”?
    Why the most Politicians do fail their own test in support community health/economic development who with$1.65 million Tax payer’s money each annual spending for?

  17. Why believe NSW coalition health plan works just by add a few dollars in hospital without innovative ideas?
    It’s all about power and money most Politicians and parties wanted above all and after all election?
    Just listen how Barry O’Farrell convincing voters: “The key to our program is giving medical professionals a bigger say in how health services are delivered in their area. These are the people who know what their patients need…so we will be listening to them”.
    Where the Preventive Health program under coalition government’s 8 years health plan is proved that a political mouth show in which spent millions dollar only produced a book for sale, people who have to pay for reading, but not benefit taking.
    Will you then still believe Mr Barry O’Farrell’s coalition opposition is committed to health reform (put some money in some hospital if you liked)? Then call it rebuild the hospital system through Better Hospitals and Healthcare program? The coalition put it up simply as a truly health reform that would fix NSW health problems?
    Will you also believe there were only 1-2 Politicians responding to this greatest “Healthy Las Vergas Broken Hill economy model”?
    Why the most Politicians do fail their own test in spend little brain work to come up some innovative idea that truly achieve the health reform materialized that benefits to all voters?
