Tony
Abbott, the Leader of the Opposition in the
Australian Federal Parliament has been quoted as saying of the Prime Minister,
Julia Gillard, “Julia Gillard won't lie
down and die”. He has also been linked with other comments about Julia Gillard such as, “Ditch the Witch” and
“Juliar (sic) . . . Bob Brown’s B*tch” (see pic below). The poodle’s comment in this cartoon, relative to disrupting
parliament, relates to the Opposition’s practice of constantly
disrupting Parliament by bringing motions for the suspension of standing orders
each day. Such motions are often made by Opposition frontbencher, Christopher Pyne, who Julia Gillard once referred to as a "mincing poodle". #auspol
