.KKeneally: This week PeterDutton_MP launched a despicable attack against a woman with a disability, Ali France. ScottMorrisonMP has remained silent. He should tell Mr Dutton to apologise to Ms France & to all people with a disability. MORE: Livenow

13/04/2019Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton is under fire over comments he made about the Labor candidate for Dickson, Ali France. Mr Dutton has accused Ms France, who is an amputee, of using her disability 'as an excuse' for not moving into the electorate.

Prime Minister Scott Morrison has come out in defence of the Home Affairs Minister, saying he didn't believe Mr Dutton using the Labor candidate's disability as the basis of a political attack, arguing the comments had been 'taken out of context'. Opposition leader Bill Shorten has put pressure on Mr Morrison, saying he should 'make his colleague apologise'.

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP .ausread13April2019 KKeneally gets it right on PeterDutton_MP in Dickson

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP what I am trying to work out now is why Labor are using women as the attackers. Do they think that there are actually women out there that fall for this patronising identity politics? Well Ladies? Do you see gender before you see policy? Before you see hypocrisy? auspol

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP K.Keneally used the term Thug when attacking Peter Dutton. Thugs are those two ex. Labour Ministers serving prison terms in NSW. KK from memory was Premier at that time. Dutton was merely referring to AF place of residence. Statement taken out of context.

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP So it’s okay for you mob of stooges to defend Palestine against the Jewish people. No word on that ex candidate comments?

LesStonehouse KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP Somebody needs to stand up to PeterDutton_MP and that person should be ScottMorrisonMP. But either he doesn't have the courage or he thinks it's okay for Dutton to attack a woman with a disability. Either way Morrison doesn't deserve to be the Prime Minister of the country.

LesStonehouse KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP She knows how Murdoch thinks, he is very frightened of this lady.

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP Hard to believe ALP have pulled out this toxic little tart and believe she will convince voters to vote ALP. She is a crime related former unelected failure of a premier and trying so so hard to be relevant. . . & never realises when she is being used.

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP KKeneally is absolutely superb in this moment. Nails it. The Liberals have lost their soul. They came within a handful of votes to almost make Peter Dutton the PM. Mother of God.

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP And Tanya needs to apologise to everyone in India for her blatant racism... And Bill needs to apologise to everyone on sub continent for trying to deny them access to cleaner Aussie coal. JohnRuddick2 9NewsAUS

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP Dutton doubled own on his appalling comments which Scott Morrison failed to call out. But behind the scenes, someone doing the polling has pulled Dutton aside and told him he had to apologise. Despicable, the lot of them. The only way to fix this govt is to vote it out.

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP To physically attack someone with a disability is just cowardly.

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP So where's the candidate?

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP Keneally:

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP Only if Labor states that hatred against Jews really should have ended in 1945. If Nazi Germany can realise they were wrong then AustralianLabor and its Fuhrer billshortenmp can say their wrong as well. Seems fair? auspol GetUp Greens

KKeneally ScottMorrisonMP I agree. Can someone make Keneally silent forever? 💪😈

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP Perhaps after the RACIST Labor-Greens cabal apologises to ALL white, able-bodied men — including my son & my amazing friends.

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP KK is a washed up has been as NSW premier and Bennelong didn't even vote her in so who cares what she thinks.

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP The unelected senator for Obeid is becoming more and more smug as the days go by. Love the nodding props behind her.

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP If KK so concerned why didn't she step up to help find an appropriate home for the woman

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP ENOUGH ALREADY ! Joe's and Eddie's Girl, on your broom !

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP NSW Labor most corrupt in history

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP Eddies girl

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP He's a fake. Fake pm fake everything. Used to being on the church stage faking it.

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP Someone likes the sound of her own voice. Watch your back Billy.

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP Dutton is pathetic. A bigoted, racists, sexist man who thinks nothing of insulting our indigenous people or Africans or Muslims or, as it happens, people with a disability.

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP The two ladies in the background can't get out of their quickly enough

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP What about the poor woman in the video that’s had her hair butchered by a blind hairdresser ?

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP Bills girl being her annoying self!

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP I wish someone would just slap her!

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP Are you going to apologise to Chloe?

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP So says the ex premier of the most corrupt state government in history.

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP I think Scomo would have called on Dutton to say sorry, if Dutton had made the comment about Scomo's brother in law.

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP You almost wrecked NSW now you’re eyeing off the nation.

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP You would be disabled except for the hand up your back ... puppet

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP He didn’t attach her ‘disability’ and why doesn’t she live in the electorate she wants to represent

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP Disability my eye. Hasn’t stopped her competing in sports. Another Labor Victim card

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP Dutton was referring to her not living in the electorate

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP tanya_plibersek better watch out, the number of joint appearances that billshortenmp does with KKeneally could have you wondering who Bill would rather as his deputy.

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP He's apologised oh sensitive ones, what about your WA anti semite.

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP despicable is right. well said

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP Scott Morrison doesn't have a backbone

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP I could listen to KKeneally all day. What a star!

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP You'd think she'd talk Aussie by now?

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP Where is K Keneally's Accent from ? It's so unique

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP The shouty Morriscum is spineless, he wouldn't dare castigate corrupt Dutton

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP Rubbish

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP How did you become the spokesperson for labor surely people are not that stupid again i vote for who I think will do best for me and swing to suit but I am turning off real quick

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP What’s despicable about making a comment like that. Stop being a drama queen Keneally. She should be living in the electorate she wants to represent (as should Dreyfus!).

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP Kristine just go away.

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP Why is this woman continually commentating?

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP Last time I checked, the disability wasn't stoppoing Ali France from entering politics, so it's a good question, why can't she live in her electorate ? She is expected to represent them as any other politician, don't okay the virtue victim card here.

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP How memories are short? No many remembers KKeneally’s history. Today, image polished and banging away. Bill Shorten might suffer due to these optical illusions.

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP Keneally’s toxic hiss, awful.

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP This week KKeneally said LNP cut medicare indexation when it was Swan and Rudd. Take everything else with a grain of salt.

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP Onya KK.. The Spud apologisies .. Morrie Dog upset.. “Mr Dutton, after all, is a thug. Mr Dutton is the most toxic man in the Liberal Party. Mr Dutton is mean and despicable,” Senator Keneally, a former Labor NSW premier, said.

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP If PeterDutton_MP had any hair on his head it would be on fire, keeping company with what's left of his poll numbers

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP Rare footage of Dutton showing remorse:

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP Here we go again, the looney left telling people what to be offended by again...

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP Morrison is as DESPICABLE as Dutton Morrison FOBBED it off when ABC M.ROWLANDS interviewed him yesterday. Morrison's words were he's been taken out of context...

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP everyone shld be afraid of Duddo..😎

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP Mr Morrison, Has to remain quiet as he is NOT STRONG ENOUGH to challenge or tell Mr Dutton off. He certainly can not control him and he is too scared to even try. Mr Dutton, has now apologised but only on the. basis it was about his electorate and not his view!!! Two Cowards.

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP 'Ms France' Please tell me, what keeps the vitriolic bile flowing from Peter Dutton's mouth? Complete idiot or sociopath? Perhaps there is a mental health professional out there that might shed a little light on these questions. auspol ausvotes19 InsidersABC

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP Brilliant by KK, Dutton is a horrendous human being, he is not fit to be anywhere near leadership of this country AusVotes2019

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP that's a bit rich coming from a woman that was a leader of the most corrupt government nsw ever had

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP Haha ...what garbage. Once again, labor twist an observation and made it a big deal where there is NOT one. Ms France could quite easily live in her electorate, but she chooses not to. Ffs overblownBS

So devoid of substance are they they think ppl will buy their hot bludging air. The election is over.😯

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP Ouch. Kennealy can ge quite devistating in her analysis and remarks.

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP I consider ALP, Greens and LNP. All to be criminals. I don't listen to moral high ground demands from criminals. Not one of them is sworn to the 1900-01 constitution, common law or the people. Their all con artists.

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP Except he didn’t. True Deceiving Labor use their disabled candidate as a desperate political pawn - they are the TRUE abusers 👎😡

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP The Australian public treats Morrison as a bit of a joke. Dutton treats Morrison with contempt. Morrison won’t ring Dutton because he knows Dutton will tell him to fuck off. I suspect the Liberal Party Room will be glad to see Dutton go.

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP B S

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP And standing there as the moral police! Pfft,,~~~~*

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP You have no right to stand on a moral high horse until you condemn Melissa Parke’s anti-Semitic hate speech.

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP Interesting that Labor are using Kristina Keneally as their attack dog. Public political memory tends to be short, but when you suffer a defeat like the NSW Labor party did in 2011 with Keneally at the helm, the bitter taste in NSW voters lingers on.

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP No credibility a failed Premier. Labor talking head reciting all the gobbledygook about how will be better for Australia. History shows us Labor cannot manage money, utter failures more than once. Don’t risk them again.

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP Keneally goes whack!

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP God KK is a great speaker & campaigner. ITrustBill

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP Meaningless fight about the lettuce and not the meat of the sandwich. Fight on policy, nobody's guurl

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP Kristina you are a Motor Mouth, quite the outburst after a valid comment made by a man. ‘You dont have to be a man hater to be a successful woman

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP Left wing Media Beatup. Remarks need to be considered in context.

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP What a good strategy from AustralianLabor to use KKeneally & tanya_plibersek more and more to front cameras!

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP Yes, well done K.K.

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP Like most Labor MP’s she does not live in her electorate. That is what this is about, not her disabilities. It is Ali that is using her disabilities as a weapon. PS I have a disability of the spine.

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP Why, wat he said is true!

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP Never ever apologise, it is only seen as weakness and an invitation for them to take sneaky little bites until you’re gone.

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP dutton is now sorry for comments that slomo said were taken out of context

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP Eddie McGuire made the same mistake & was quick to apologise....shame our PM can’t call out his colleague to do the same. I guess it shows what sort of leader & human he really is. Somehow I half expect Morrison to hold a press conference & blame labor for Dutton’s words

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP PeterDutton_MP is absolutely correct, you can’t cry I’m disabled when it’s suits your agenda , typical woe is me mentality fancy having her win your electorate 🙄 watch the excuses when she doesn’t do her job 😒

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP Dutton has apologised (finally). But now we’re waiting for Plibersek to apologise to all Indians for her racist dog whistling on Adani..... hello? Anyone there?

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP 👏👏👏KKeneally

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP Just how many of your state government went to jail? “Nobody’s Girl” my arse.

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP Yes in a nutshell this is a test of leadership if ScottMorrisonMP is really sincere in what he says about respect disability a government for all then Dutton’s choice to attack on the basis of disability should not be tolerated at all TheStandardYouWalkPast AusVote2019

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP This is a Nothing Burger 🍔.

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP He is a thug. Flick him. Flick on the 18th

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP Why hasn't the Labor party stepped up and found her a house in the electorate ?

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP He can apologise for that when you apologise for the dodgy bunch that you inflicted on NSW. Gladys is a so much better person than you, how’s that feel? Dutton is better than you too! obeidstooge

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP He did no such thing. But keep on talking KK, national voters will see through you like NSW voters did.

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP Hey Sky News, love how you are now pretending to be decent because you can smell the fear and defeat on the corpse of the IPA/LN. We aren't fooled. We know you are a bunch of cowardly trolls.

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP Labor are doing themselves such a disservice by using Keneally. I just don’t get it at all. I’m sure every time she speaks 1000 voters are lost.

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP Seems somebody has told him to apologise.

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP Approve Adani. billshortenmp

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP Good on you KK , Dutton needs to be called out!

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP Sounds like you have a weak spleen for politics.

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP You labor mob have short memory’s unbelievable

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP Launched an attack. He’s already apologised for something he didn’t do. Move on.

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP Appears a lot of people have forgotten what she did when Premier of NSW. And now they want her Shorten, Bowen and the likes of Phelps and Steggel to run Australia. Yikes

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP Give over you have done worse

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP But don't the disabled want to be treated like 'normal' people? Oh. Only when it suits their political agenda.....

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP Dickson voters - kick disability hater Dutton into the gutter...

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP Then, when pulled up on it, decided it was the people of Dixon that were complaining and he was just passing along the message. Double despicable.

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP “When then-prime minister Kevin Rudd apologised to the Stolen Generations in 2008, Dutton was the only member of the Coalition frontbench colleagues not there to applaud. He even offered to resign his portfolios to make a stand..”

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP Woof Woof KKK

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP Keep calling them out doing a great job .

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP Kristina you don’t have a brain 🧠 and we pick on you. Same thing girlfriend.

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP If any of Morrison's tears were genuine tears of compassion last week they were for his brother in law no one else.

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP Labor has a disability It's a load mouth yank

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP You cannot be serious

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP Bill Shorten: Yeah, whatever she said.

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP The Disingenuous KKeneally at it again...

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP Are you sure you aren't blowing it out of proportion? It wouldn't cost that much to put in a ramp or two something her husband could even do.

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP But how do you know she has a disability....because she plays on it to her advantage. Bad luck

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP What? So PM has remained silent? Seriously? False Yesterday Morrison said Mr Dutton's comments had been 'taken out of context' by his political opponents. via

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP Libs, Nats, mean spirited to the core, meanness is a core Lib value

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP Still waiting on Bill to comment on Setka .

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP Dam, she’s good! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP I like watching KK fired up.

KKeneally PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP Despicable? I saw a woman walking with a prosthetic leg and she was doing fine. She should move or be disqualified from nominations. If she was Muslim you’d have brought her a house.
