A Labor frontbencher has defended Prime Minister Julia Gillard for hosting radio personality Kyle Sandilands at an Easter egg hunt at her official residence in Sydney.
The 2DayFM DJ dressed up as an Easter bunny for the event for a children's charity at Kirribilli House on Sunday.
Sandilands has been involved in several controversial on-air incidents including the questioning of a 14-year-old rape victim about her sexual experiences and calling a female journalist a "fat slag" and threatening to "hunt her down".
Ms Gillard made world headlines last year after using a 15-minute speech in parliament to accuse Opposition Leader Tony Abbott of being a misogynist.
Pressed about Ms Gillard's invitation to Sandilands, Labor frontbencher Craig Emerson told the ABC the prime minister would not condone every utterance that came out of the mouth of every Australian.
"You just don't write people off all over the place because of particular statements they make," he said on Monday.
"Let's not just dwell in the past."
Ms Gillard was committed to equality for all Australians, Dr Emerson said.
Liberal frontbencher Greg Hunt questioned Ms Gillard's judgment in inviting Sandilands to Kirribilli House, in light of her "massive lectures" on misogyny.
"That's a funny way of going about proving your credentials and concerns on these issues," he told Radio 2CC in Canberra.
Can this idiot gillard get any more stupid?, I think the answer is yes ;D

When Gillard took over the helm by backstabbing I felt at the time a sense of foreboding this ain't good, not that I thought Rudd was great, he was percieved as having vision.
Tried to rally behind her....but the latest childish bullshit form her camp is too much, the Rudd factor will not go away, he is still more popular than Gillard as leader.
And yes we have asylum seekers seeking our shores, as tens of thousands who try to reach other countries, such is the natire of the world with millions of desperate people seeking a better life, will a return to Howard's policies work again....nope things have changed.
My beliefs in socail democracy hasn't change....and the narrative is that the coalition ideolouge of moving away from that is wrong...began with Howard who was out to destroy public education, and public health and equality..that will continue with Abbott, he is still a bigger arsehole than Gillard.

Lets wait until Tuesday. After all, not giving the Libs yet another free kick in any 48 hour period is about the limit of her ability.
eg :- Thursday cancelling the greatest media shakeup of all times after 6 days with' take it or leave it' Conroy. (I wonder if he has found his red dacks yet?) Followed by calling for a spill when there was no challenge. Followed by sacking 4 or was it 6 key people on Friday. Followed by a smoochie cutchie snuggling & cuddling up session with Sandilands on Sunday.
Monday has been a dull day for all except her half dozen union mates as she pays then off with super duper white limo cars.
Lets see if she can get through Tuesday.

Its ironic that Emerson wants people not to dwell on the past when it comes to Gillard, but he and his fellow members have no problems dwelling on Abbott's past.
And its not as if Sandilands made an innocuous sexist comment once or twice. He threatened to stalk and to 'hunt down' a female journo. The guy is seriously dangerous. I honestly would not be surprised if he at some stage is charged with assaulting a woman, or worse. He is very dangerous. Why would Gillard want to hang around with a man who called a woman a fat slag, who said she aught to be hit, and said he would hunt a woman down and implied a threat of violence? This is not just an ordinary misogynist. This is a violent man who has shown he has a proclivity toward violence against women. Slipper's text messages, Steve Gibbons and his calling a woman a bimbo slut, now Sandilands and his wish to 'hunt down' that 'fat slag'?
Its no wonder her little opportunistic script-written speech on misogyny was forgotten very quickly. She never meant a word of it and people saw through her duplicity.

the use of those words have more impact on our generation and older generations...
not so the younger generation who have grown up under American shows and rap music who use those words and worse...
what is horror speech to us is just the new lingo of the day!

It just hit me. Some have gone on about 'stuntman' Abbott and his tweeting of his involvement in the firefighting, as part of a polly's normal constitution on twitter. Yet here Gillard is tweeting a picture of her at a charity event for children with disabilities......

On an unrelated twitter topic, one of the popular retweets on twitter yesterday was;
Gary Gray. Minister for Dyslexia.

It could have been worse. Julia Gillard could have invited Hitler around to her place for an Easter Egg Hunt. Hitler dressed as the Easter Bunny.
Well, okay, she couldn't have done that because Hitler is dead, but the point that everyone seems to be missing in all of their bitchin' and moaning about Kyle Sandilands' invite to the PM's Easter BBQ is that he is not history's greatest monster. There are, like, 18 or 19 people on the list ahead of him and not all of them are dead.
Are you really suggesting that the Prime Minister of Australia should have allowed anyone other than Sandilands to pull on that cotton tail outfit? Let's not forgot that the PM had a tough time of it last week, what with the Ruddbot clanking and roaring back to life, before popping its golden nut and falling to pieces again. She can't be expected to attend to every little detail, like lining up enough votes for her media legislation or making sure a hateful snot goblin like Sandilands isn't kept a safe distance from any children under her care. I mean, jeez, it's not like he brought a lie detector and started questioning them about their sexual histories. He didn't call any of the kiddies who might have had a bit too much chocolate a fat slag, or try to hunt anyone down. Sheesh!
And she doesn't send out these invites herself, you know. Her senior advisers are all the sort of Gen Y nuff nuffs who genuinely enjoy the witless droollery of Sandilands and his blonde enabler and even though millions of voters wouldn't cross the road to piss on his heart if it caught fire, the PM has the dignity of her office to consider. She can't do what we would all do if given half a chance. It's. Not. Her. Fault.
As she said when asked about it at press conference yesterday, it was just a lovely chance on a sunny day to help some sick kiddies forget about being sick.
And if anyone knows sick, it's Kyle Sandilands.
