The Hubris of Tony Abbott

The ancient Greeks called it hubris (ὕβρις) and back then it was considered one of the most abhorrent offences one could commit. It referred to actions that shamed and humiliated the victim for the pleasure or gratification of the abuser. In its modern use, hubris denotes overconfident pride and arrogance, often associated with a lack of humility.

Tony Abbott Revealed

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
