Abetz on breast cancer, page-4

gilded:

Your comments are revealing. Firstly there are purported links all the time about certain phenomenon, that doesn't mean that there is any causal relationship.

Calling a female presenter a "girl" in the way you do is absurd. She's obviously a grown woman, and if it was a bloke making similar statements that would be ok...he's just being strong-minded.

Finally, diction, spelling and pronounciation? None of these go to substance.

I am a well educated person relatively speaking, and while I have personal preferences and annoyances involving those matters, they don't go to substance and most fair-minded people would have the commonsense to put them to one side. You reluctance to do so, says a lot about you and your values.

Eric Abetz btw, has an extremely annoying speaking voice. Tony Abbott is very hesitant as a speaker, and is not naturally eloquent.

Paul Keating had no tertiary education and was extremely well spoken and a brilliant orator.

Listen and learn.
