What the devil? Oakeshott gets Heffed
|
Tony Abbott, Coalition leader, potential Prime Minister, currently negotiating with the four independent MPs in order to obtain minority government, six days ago:
An alleged phone conversation between a senior Liberal and Independent Rob Oakeshott’s wife, three days ago:
Later again, Rob Oakeshott, Independent Member for Lyne and one of the key players set to decide who will form minority government, in reference to the fact that the Liberal MP had then apologise via text, explaining to the Oakeshotts that he thought it was one of their young children on the phone:
Minutes ago, Philip Coorey, The Sydney Morning Herald:
We’re with you Rob, we also wonder what is going on.

Move along.
Nothing to see here.
That’s what Bill says to me when I answer his calls, too.
Accuse him of having a strange sense of humour, if you wish.
But it was only the way he jokes about and there was no evil intent.
He is just a colourful character.
Heffernan is serial offender against the body politic.
His catalogue of offences against common decency is longer than my arm.
He should be investigated by the Priviliges Committee, and expelled from the Parliament.
These are members of the “Murdoch Party” they’ve been trying to sell us, a few of which had to be “tied up out back” so that negotiations for government of this country could go ahead!
Astro? Troy C? John James? any ideas?
John, I’m so glad that you can rationalise the very strange (at best infantile) behaviour of one of the people you want to run this countries as ‘colourful’.
This is the same filthy grub who tried to fit up Michael Kirby as a curb crawler in a public vehicle.
Why he keeps being elected is beyond me.
The apology is stranger than the original. That he thinks it would have been ok to say “It’s the devil” to their kids, rather than his wife? It’s not that big a deal, I suppose. I’ve got a list of things I’d like from the devil, in exchange for the soul I don’t believe I have.
And that idiot Pyne has decided the actions of Heffernan are just the actions of a person well known for his off beat ways. That is absolute cr=p and typical of the Libs attitude as they yet again attempt to justify the intolerable actions of this sleeze bag. He is a disgrace to the Parliament and should be hauled over the coals and severely reprimanded. Let the Indies take note of the low life that exists in the Coalition
John - it’s not some joke among friends. Heffernen went out of his way to intimidate the *children* of an MP his party was trying to get into a coalition. Which shows he’s (a) a creep (or worse) for threatening children (b) thick if he thinks it’s going to work.
Shepherdmarilyn - silly as it sounds, when he gets onto dry-land agriculture and irrigation he can make a lot of sense. Which presumably helps his constituency elect him. You can think of him as a sort of low-rent autistic savant - fine on one subject but devoid of normal social skills.
Jiminy Cricket’s, yes, “Pyne-occhio”, would say that!
well he is right about one thing…it was “the devil” calling…the nutty devil…you know the one we pay over $100000 a year to represent those long suffering people of NSW…but then they do keep voting him in so maybe they aren’t that long suffering after all…(and we thought Qlder’s were dumb). And it seems its ok to scare the bejesus out of Rob Oakeshott’s little kids….by saying to a pregnant Sarah “Oh sorry …thought I was talking to the one of the kids!” Is this man for real??? And folks this man along with Barnaby, Kevin, Bronwyn, Phillip and the Mad Monk as their leader is who you will have governing you if the independents are NOT scared off by the devil incarnate and choose Liberal. And you think you will get a ‘stable’ government? Yeh right…..
Also if it had of been a Labor MP who had made that call - all hell would have broken loose in the Murdoch press and amongst “outraged” Liberals baying for blood….but because it was a Lib its “only a joke”….it’s “his sense of humour” Well bloody warped sense of humour I say if he thinks its ok to scare little kids…
If Labor manages to form government the Libs will bleat incessantly about it, but really their fate will be totally of their own making. The discipline of the campaign seemed to disappear as soon as the election was over.
On the other hand if the Independants back the Coalition, they will form government in spite of their best efforts to avoid doing so.
Hang on- what sort of turd is this man that he thinks it is ok to intimidate children.
He thought that the call was answered by one of Mr oakshotts children.
It is one thing to have aperverted sense of humour with adults but absolutely much more suspect to think that you can ring and scare kids-ha ha ha for abit of fun.
No wonder this mob think nothing of locking up asylum seeker’s children.
@Malcolm Street
@Pamela
He didn’t try to intimidate the children and he didn’t threaten them.
He doesn’t use a scary voice. He’s just putting himself down.
Maybe, in the future he’ll say he’s Mickey Mouse.
@John…how do you know what sort of voice he was using, what his tone was?
Do you know how a young kid would react to a voice of this creep Hefernan’s type. He admits he believed he was talking to a child, so says he is the devil.
You attempt to defend this serial nutter, he has form as has been shown in earlier posts here. He is a slob.
@David
See first comment.
@John…
This is the same filthy grub who tried to fit up Michael Kirby as a curb crawler in a public vehicle. (previous)
This is the grub who called a female MP barren
Also if it had of been a Labor MP who had made that call - all hell would have broken loose in the Murdoch press and amongst “outraged” Liberals baying for blood….but because it was a Lib its “only a joke”….it’s “his sense of humour” (previous)
And you insist he is having fun, just a colurful character…and you are prepared to stick up for him, says a great deal about you as well.
Well said David , Pamela ,Denise, etc etc , except John ( howard) ? You must be a tory troll .
No, I voted Secular Party, and preferenced Greens, then Labor in the Senate.
In Wentworth, I voted Secular Party, and preferenced Greens, then Malcom Turnbull.
I’m not a troll but I am an activist and I speak to politicians of all persuasions to try to talk them around to my point of view.
I don’t count Bill Heffernan as other than a political acquaintance, but as a person, he’s an OK bloke. I don’t fear him or hate him.
I think we all need to lighten up and retain a sense of humour.
If it makes you feel better, I thought Belinda Neal was very funny when she told Sophie Mirabella her baby would be a demon.
Maybe, Bill and I share a warped sense of humour.
@ Malcolm Street
“You can think of him as a sort of low-rent autistic savant - fine on one subject but devoid of normal social skills.”
You sum up Heffernan very neatly. Nice work.
