There seems to be no limit to Tony Abbott’s commitment to women, reports a Sunday newspaper that probably won’t be around next year to see him elected our nation’s leader. They report him admitting to reading 50 Shades of Grey, so-called “mummy porn” that according to the dubious source of Wikipedia is “notable for its explicitly erotic scenes featuring elements of sexual practices involving bondage, discipline, sadism, and masochism.” That he admitted it to a newspaper known for its anti-Liberal sentiment was perhaps even more of a shock than his choice of in-flight entertainment.
Each to their own, although Christians are not impressed with the whole 50 Shades thing and some feminists think it’s a plot to subvert equality of a kind that not even Rolls-Royce state-sponsored child-care arrangements could repair.
The way the book got published is far more interesting to us than reading about someone being whipped, clamped or having hot pokers inserted or whatever goes down. Initially written as online fan-fiction for Twilight, the author moved it to her own website, then pitched it to a book publisher before it went off like a desperate housewife.
It was thought to have really taken off because of the e-reader/tablet phenomenon where a chap or chapette can discreetly read a bit of smut without everyone noticing the cover. Now, in between engagements healing the sick and injured, the alternate Prime Minister of Australia is carrying it around in his briefcase, unabashed. Good for him.
I suspect Tony may look at his daughters differently after he reads 50 shades!
This man is just a full blown weirdo. A typical (non-gay) product of the catholic church.
Brother Abbott we have spoken of this previously. You are needed at St Chesters to assist with those eager Choir Boys isn’t that enough?
Hanson Young [Greens] says NSW Labor has no values. I say NSW Labor are trying to return to their values after the damage that has been done by the association with the Greens to the ALP brand.
It will take 15 years to get the brand back if the ALP wake up now.
“What do pollies stand for”
Mother knows best
Maybe phoney tony will use the book to find new and innovative policies to screw the country even more than his current set of alleged policies will if he gets half a chance to implement them!
@ concerned – what do you mean ‘non-gay? Has anybody questioned him about his relationship with a feature writer for the Oz?
Wow, talk about gutter comments. I was reading today that aggressive trolls do this because of their insecurities at not achieving anything in life. We have here trolls casting aspersions on Tony Abbott’s sexuality, his relationship with his daughters and suggesting relationships with choir boys. With such nasty trolling, this is why the left are not fit to govern.
He should mix it with a nite out in the Domain at a labor bash …..pills anyone ???
Mother. Go and read it or hook up with me. I’ll show you more than Abbott can.
Vexnews – you truly suck. You print the trash comments and delete the normal ones. No wonder you readership has stagnated. Hope your site goes under.
Tony is not a member of the vagina deniers club but he is most certainly a weirdo.
In fact straight Catholics are all suspect.
Pat, if that was true, yours would have been one of the first in the bin, maybe you should look to the right wing blogs that will not let the truth get in the way of the crap that they espouse, and do exactly what you have accused vex of doing!
i promise to not allow pat near my computer again!
i thought Pat passed away and Deen was not allowed to attend his funeral
We sell something he will need as well, where do I send samples?
Good to see the decency of the left on display in this thread.
