It has been very close to a year ago when I last caught up with Greens Senator Kerry Nettle<\/a>. Nettle introduced a showing of the film Vera Drake<\/em><\/a> on 2 March 2005, whilst wearing this particular t-shirt… which for some odd reason, is only NOW<\/strong><\/em> controversial<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Health Minister Tony Abbott is presently all upset because he’s all but lost the ability to keep Australian women from accessing the abortifacient drug RU486. Abbott is now (rather coincidentally, of course) claiming that he’s ‘offended’ by the wording of Nettle’s t-shirt. <\/p>\n

Wassamatta, Tony- bit of sour grapes<\/a>? <\/p>\n

Get over it, Reverend Abbott. You don’t own Australian women’s ovaries and uteri- and if you’re not a uterus owner\/operator, your opinion on women’s reproductive rights is fairly irrelevant.  <\/p>\n

UPDATE:<\/font><\/strong> If Kerry’s t-shirt offends Abbott, Alan Moir<\/a> and Bill Leak<\/a> must give the Mad Monk an absolute conniption.<\/p>\n
