A review of day one at the ALP Federal Conference
- So what did those who comment have to say?
-
- Some criticism of the leader was circulated widely
-
- And some was taken down
- “A 'whore' and a 'gay': Triple J's sledge on Julia and Tim - TWO ABC broadcasters have called Julia Gillard a "whore" and accused boyfriend Tim Mathieson of being gay in blistering Twitter attacks as the Prime Minister prepared to open the ALP national conference today. LOL. I love it, we want more of this stuff. Hilarious. She’s is on a higher level than an Anti-Christ. Gillhard is a bitch ‘She Devil’. Lol. http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/breaking-news/triple-js-stinging-sledge-on-julia-and-tim/story-fn3dxity-1226212138962
- And a former leader was even praised
- “@SkyContrarians - Does moving away from politics clear thinking? Mark Latham seems to espousing common sense re important issues @alp conf
- When they are on a good thing they stick to it
- “RT @marlowstevens: How many times did phrase "Work Choices" get mentioned at the ALP conference. As they were told, "As Many Times As Yous Can!" Hey its 2011!
- But there was only one subject dominating the discussions
- “We need a twitter trend to force LIB to a conscience vote for #marriageequality if ALP votes for conscience vote tomorrow
- “Hope the unreconstructed misogynist morons of the ALP Right do not prevail this weekend. Marriage Equality NOW!!
- “@vanwhoo22 yeah...not holding my breath, I think ALP will go for conscience vote but opp party will vote no to try and force an election
- “@MiaFreedman @JuliaGillard Why?? If your MP's have a conscience then it shall pass, stop blaming the PM for ALP & LNP doctrine, its a step.
- For goodness sake, aren't there some other subjects?
- “RT @TommyTudehope: Relieved gay marriage is top of the agenda at ALP conference. I was beginning to worry about global warming, EuroZone, Middle East, poverty.
- Well they welcomed some Norwegians
- “'ALP moved by Norway massacre memories': "young Labour… "met hate w/ love and bullets with roses"smh.com.au/national/alp-mo... #auspol #ALPnc
- “RT @kimmaree_tweet: that was v moving RT @JackEHeron ALP moved by Norway massacre: "… "met hate with love and bullets with roses" bit.ly/ukvL1Z #auspol
- And what about our issue?
- “Animal rights activists protest: Animal rights protesters called for bans on live exports outside the ALP confer... adf.ly/3z1ZH
- “So I'm guessing internet censorship won't be discussed at the #alpnc but will remain alp policy anyway #openinternet #auspol
- And if it all disappoints you there are always the Greens
- “RT @urbancreature: It would be very enterprising of the @greens to have proforma ALP resignation letters & Greens memb forms ready for the end of #alpnc
- Or perhaps you don't care at all
- “RT “@twcau: Am I the only person in Australia who doesn't give a monkeys butt about the ALP Conference?” Obviously not as I'm retweeting!
