Abbott's Team Australia me thinks he watches too much South Park
I'm personally embarrased to hear Abbott utter the words Team Australia are we a bunch of South Park gung ho puppets with no tolerance for ethnic elements of our community.

Tony is not really known for the right choice of words anyway, so no surprise to me he still has no clue.
I think his latest publicity is nothing more than a weak attempt to turn the tide on his low acceptane in the public.
He promotes the "true blue Aussie" but as often as he can he manages to show he has no clue about the meaning.

From the comments in the article about "team Australia" I'd suspect that, whilst a very poor way of expressing his thoughts, all Tony was saying was that he wants all members of the community to be Australians first and ethnic minorities, second. What did he say to offend any minority? Become a part of this great country? It's not as though he said, "You lot with the pink underwear with purple dots need to join the purple underwear brigade". What he basically said was, "Everyone needs to wear purple underwear" he was not singling out one group. It seems to me, the the offended group does not want to join Australia and should return to the Banana republic from which they came.
He was saying in a nice polite way what Vladamir Putin said far more succinctly that if people come to live in Australia, they abide by the rules of the day, something very obvious one section seems to be reluctant to do and if they were as they claim willing to 'Play on Team Australia with Tony Abbott as "Captain", then they wouldnt be objecting to the anti terrorism proposals.
I totally dislike this 'Team Australia' phrase and I think Aboott and Hockey both need new script writers.
I stand unequivicably behind everything I say, I just dont ever remember saying it !!
Agree. The idea behind the message is 100% accurate, however the message is muffled in politically correct 'speak'. Far too much of this going on these days, problem is if it's not done in this way the 'PC brigade' come out in force and the entire message gets lost. A catch-22 situation indeed.
