Very hypocritical and amoral of Labor.

Labor thinks this is funny:
Labor parties at Bob Hawke's 80th birthday bash not only by mocking John Howard, but by using the flag - upside down - to rub it in. Sexist and meanspirited - ah, yes, the moral Left at play.
Labor thinks this is not:
ASHLEY GILLON:
The Prime Minister's depicted naked under an Australian flag. Do you think that's appropriate?
WAYNE SWAN:
Well I don't think any politician can quibble with comedians. The Chaser have certainly done me over, over the years but frankly I don't think from what I've seen of this that it's all that funny and I do think there is a bit of a double standard operating here when it comes to our Prime Minister so that's just my personal view.
ASHLEY GILLON:
Why is that? Is that because she's a female?
WAYNE SWAN:
Oh, I think a whole variety of reasons. I don't think we would have seen this sort of programme on the ABC when John Howard was Prime Minister.
ASHLEY GILLON:
Does it degrade the office of the Prime Minister?
WAYNE SWAN:
I think at every level it's pretty poor comedy and in some pretty poor taste.
