Actually you don't know whether Tone is a misogynist or not, neither do I. However, he is on record as having made several statements that certainly show misogynistic attitudes.( these are on public records and have been quoted on BF several times). If you have read these comments and think they are ok, you might want to reach for a dictionary and educate yourself.
Alternatively, you can continue with your petty attacks on Gillard, but perhaps on a thread that is more relevant to the gender issue?
Yes to still be going over their hatred of Gillard, speaks volumes about the haters attitudes.

An interesting development - wonder if the Vic fraudies will have a word with him too?

FORMER union boss and retired cabinet minister Martin Ferguson is offering to tell the national royal commission into union corruption his knowledge of controversial payments, key witnesses and other information in the AWU slush fund scandal that has dogged the Labor Party and Julia Gillard.

Mr Ferguson told The Australian that, if asked under oath, he would provide information including details revealed to him recently by a former Melbourne builder, Kon Spyridis, payments to whom have been part of an ongoing investigation by Victoria Police’s Fraud Squad into hundreds of thousands of dollars that flowed in and out of the slush fund.

The money was corruptly solicited from companies as part of an organised scam and some of it was spent, at the direction of a union boss, on renovations at Ms Gillard’s house, according to former AWU official Ralph Blewitt, who has admitted to police his own role in a fraud.

It seemed to me the only way that Gillard would ever get done was that if they could show money was spent on her house. It looks like that is possible now and that she may well have personally benefitted from this.

Hasnt she always denied that?

How many times did Wilson take Gillard out to dinner and the source of the money came from the slush fund?

Gee... something about "Gillard would need to have knowingly benefitted from Wilson's alleged crime" or something like that...

this thread has been a laugh a minute. Or should that be a laugh a year?

Sets up slush fund and then gets a lovely renovation.

Just a coincidence? Wilson would have been on what salary?

No, originally said she didn't know.

The only problem with your "case" against our former PM is the complete absence of facts and/or proof. Besides that it's compelling :thumbsu:
