" Cory Bernardi's comments on abortion and non-traditional families are backwards and offensive. "
He seems to be expressing his opinion there, don't you think? Perhaps he could have prefaced it by "In my view....."
I don't think so. That is stating his opinion that Cory is wrong [which is what I said he did] and did so in an offensive manner. Do you know what Mr Shorten believes is the CORRECT attitude to "abortion and non-traditional families"? I am unaware that he made his case, but I don't read everything.
