Hinch: What irks me about Abbott
The thing that irked me about Tony Abbott's much reported comments about young women saving their virginity until they get married was not so much him, yet again, imposing his morality on everybody else but the way he inferred this was a 'gift'. Like something out of a Barbara Cartland bodice-ripping novel.
Not that sex should be a joint decision. A shared experience. And even more so that he made no mention of males remaining virgins until they were married.
Not to mention his own hypocrisy. He not only had sex before marriage, he thought he'd fathered a child out of wedlock.
He now says he was really only offering advice to his own daughters. But he knows when he does an interview for the Women's Weekly that he is talking not only as a father but as the leader of the federal Opposition and therefore the leader of all Liberal voters.
And a lot of young female voters – I suspect even his own daughters – will see him as an out of touch, conservative religious relic.
'Virginity is a gift', says Abbott
Tony Abbott reveals why he made some, what some people would say are,
bizarre assertions in relation to when young women and men should
choose to become sexually active. Hear the interview which has sparked
ire from some and have your say and whether Abbott's reputation has
been damaged.

Why do politicions want to interfere with our personal lives and morality.
They should get on with running the country which they are paid to do.

Tony Abbott would do better to keep his father-daughter discussions out of the public domain if he had any respect for his daughter's privacy. Do you think if he opened his mouth wide enough he'd be able to put both feet in his mouth. How embarassing for them to have their "virginity" discussed publicly. I would not believe that Tony Abbott would keep his moral views and religious opinions out of the countries legislation even if he made a "rock-solid, iron-clad guarantee" that he'd never set out to ban abortion, contraception. Goodness knows we'd even have legislation to prohit sex out of wedlock. Imagine how pure and wholesome the country would be?
