Carbon tax repeal biggest accomplishment for women - Abbott

OMG. I dunno where to start with this. There's so many angles. So many lies. So much sexism. 

Abbott has declared the removal of the carbon tax as his gov's biggest accomplishment for women in 2014. One would ask, mystified, as to what form of mental and linguistic gymnastics he uses to reach such a conclusion? Don't worry, it all becomes clear in his statement:

During a Monday morning interview on the Today Show to promote his cabinet reshuffle, Mr Abbott was asked by host Lisa Wilkinson to nominate his top achievement in his capacity as Minister for Women. 

"Well, you know, it is very important to do the right thing by families and households," Mr Abbott replied. "As many of us know, women are particularly focused on the household budget and the repeal of the carbon tax means a $550 a year benefit for the average family." more

Bloody hell man. For a start there's no way in hell that the carbon tax repeal will deliver anything like that figure back into household pockets. But that doesn't deter Tone. Just keeps on saying it and someone is gonna believe it, although those someone's are a rapidly dwindling number. 

But more importantly it shows what Abbott, the minister for women, actually thinks of women. In Abbott's world the bloke hands all his money to the shella who wields the purse strings with a rod of iron. She stays at home, cooks and cleans, whilst the bloke goes out breadwinning and getting pissed after work at the pub.

Such a set up may well have been the case decades ago, but it's rather rare to find that situation in modern Australia today. How many people can survive on one income for a start? And how many men these days just hand all their hard earned cash over to the missus? How many men would be willing to surrender everything like that today?

Abbott has managed to insult the entire population of Australia in one short paragraph.
