There you go: an apology & rap over the knuckles by the leader are much more than the Liberals ever bothered to do. But that's not enough, apparently. And all of this in the aftermath of SloMo taking potshots at Albo's appearance during the election campaign. Not to mention SloMo putting his captain's pick Deves into a cosmopolitan seat and standing behind her attempt to whip up a bit of transphobia. Frankly, this suggestion that Labor should be held to the standard of Saints while the Liberals are free to stoop to any level because everybody knows they like to "own the lefties" is a joke. I sincerely hope Labor is ready to bare its knuckles rather than acting as a punching bag. We need another Bankstown brawler to bring the Liberals down to size. Should the Liberals choose to lay down their arms, then that's the time for an outbreak of goodwill. But the last time they went that way with Turnbull, it didn't last long and was followed by the Liberals sinking into the sewers.
I don't see where I've made an excuse for any earlier poor behaviours on either side of politics, but please feel free to keep using that rather childish tit-for-tat argument as a justification for the current and next issue of poor behaviour.

You would have just read about the recent election demise of Trumps handpicked storm troopers, the days of juvenile mud slinging are dead and buried, it's time for the vast bulk of the general public to hold the politicians accountable and expect a higher standard.

Agree, Juvenile comment, maybe Dutton came across Pliberseks dodgy husband when Dutton was a copper.
@ElwoodBlues1 There seems to be more to this, I can't imagine Plibersek is the dullard she appears to be after that comment, she isn't a Pauline, so I think there may be more to this. Because it's Larry, Moe and Curly Three Stooges type activity!

It will be interesting to see what portfolio she gets now!
 
Albanese must be devastated by the apparent sheer stupidity, they have campaigned on a platform of care and respect and Plibersek delivers and "Oops I did it again!" moment! Sure it might be trivial, but it still means something, just like the flags!

Even worse, today it gives voice to Tony Abbott, he has risen and is claiming he can fix the opposition and Plibersek gave him some fresh ammunition!

I'm thinking footy clubs and footy supporter sites are rather the natural hunting grounds of right-wingers. Let's face it, Carlton has a considerable Liberal heritage. Just look for the photo of a platform that was erected at Princes Park to allow Sir Robert Menzies to watch games in his Roller, far from the hoi polloi. And Malcolm Fraser was the no. 1 ticket holder too, not forgetting that Big Jack was Liberal party president.

Most footy clubs are hardly reflective of the diversity of the population either. Black & Asian players stick out like sore thumbs. While I was in the sheds changing for training, I had to endure a discussion about how best to ensure police would shoot African kids who broke into homes. The guy leading the discussion is a serving police officer.

You wish.  It isn't kevin07 and his pathetic crawling days to make up for the attention he never deserved.

Firstly, I'm not sure where you get that from, I haven't seen it implied or otherwise unequivocally stated.

We should expect a higher standard of behaviour and accountability from all those who are our elected representatives, government, opposition or independent, they are paid by us the public to serve the public, they are not paid by us to grow fat on vitriol.

We didn't vote them in to become "The Leader", we vote them in so that they can serve!

I'm a neutral with regard the two major parties and both have their pros and cons.
I'm just surprised Plibersek would go the man so early on after Albo said he wanted
everyone playing the ball and especially when you have a husband who was found guilty of drug dealing and spent time in the big house and target a bloke like Dutton who was a copper in his previous life.
Going to be hard for Albo when your deputy has the undeveloped mind of a 12 year old...

Go and live out at Delahey and try and shop when a dozen African kids swoop on the supermarket in a group then steal what they want, terrify shoppers and staff then run off knowing the cops won't get there because the closest cop station is to far away.
Then wake up in the morning and find your street with 4 or 5 cars smashed up with baseball bats...guess who again.
Oh and if you like uninvited guests knocking on your door, casing the joint for entry points and an idea of whose at home or not move to Delahey or Caroline Springs..guess who again.
Security Shutters, Alarms and Two large German Shepherds later that has to be part of your budget and lifestyle if you want to live there..bit like being in Joburg.
The Dogs work best, nothing like a big Shepherd to act as a deterrent, the cops get the offenders in court but then they are back out again thanks to social workers, members of clergy etc and it's just a cycle of despair for locals who can't get a police station built close enough to the action...hello Dan Andrews.

Dutton was a sexual offence cop in Qld, so I'm not sure how you infer some sort of animosity over a prosecution that occurred in NSW before Plibersek met her husband. Maybe it might surprise you to discover that her husband is now Dominic Perrottet's right-hand man, serving as his Secretary of the NSW Department of Premier and Cabinet. I'm guessing that means he isn't part of the Hell's Angels drug running efforts.

No doubt young crims are a problem but there's plenty who aren't easily identified as African. AFAIK, Squizzy Taylor, the Morans and the others in the Carlton Crew, and Carl Williams weren't black. Italians and Vietnamese had issues in times past but as time goes on those transcultural problems have mostly receded. Does the black skin make an aggravated burglary more terrifying?

I know where he works and what he does and the sentence he received for importing drugs and how his sentence was reduced from nine years and to less than three. Now a senior figure in the justice system, my remark on Dutton being a cop and nailing Mr coutts trotter was just a throw away line.
I just found it very rich from the juvenile Tanya to be targeting a bloke over his looks and demeanour with a decent background in law enforcement and politics when her husband is one of dubious character all be it reformed and has had a rather charmed path, she should be thanking a good labor man in Michael egan for his path to the top...

What? Dutton has a decent background in politics does he? From where I stand it's a decently indecent background.
