After emerging from the political wilderness yesterday afternoon at an Aboriginal rally in Redfern, Uncle Tony Abbott has today continued his staunch campaigning in support of the Indigenous Voice.
And while he doesn’t mind a headline, it was actually by chance that the respected Northern Beaches elder ended up on Rupert Murdoch’s Sky News this morning.
It was during a live cross with celebrity Sky News personality, Katherine Deves that Uncle Tony was bailed up for an interview in the affluent streets of Sydney’s North Shore – as the Murdoch media attempted to get some opinions from ‘ordinary Australians’ about the upcoming referendum.
“Tony!” Said Deves.
“You look like someone who would be capable of saying something that Rupert Murdoch agrees with, in sensationalist soundbites that we can re-broadcast to drought stricken farmers who can’t find the ABC buried deep within their Foxtel package.”
However it wasn’t long after shoving a microphone in front of the former PM that Deves realised she’d made a huge mistake.
“Vote yes coz Dutton’s a gammin cunt” said Uncle Tony.
He then grabbed the microphone before Deves could pull it away,
“Nah don’t cut me off just because I’m saying something you don’t wanna hear”
“You gon learn today”
“Dutton is a gammin cunt and so are all his mates. This mob lost to Albo for fucks fake. Prolly coz they didn’t have Uncle Tony running the ball up”
“Now they so shame they wanna take it out on blackfellas – they can’t beat Albo in an election so they wanna try and beat him in a referendum”
“We talking about Peter Dutton here. Is that really who you wanna listen to when it comes to Aboriginal people’s issues”
“The former Fortitude Valley copper? The only blackfellas he ever met were the ones he was throwing into a paddy wagon for being out after dark”
“That was, of course, until my sister-girl Jacinta Price pulled up stumps on her YouTube hip hop career and began searching for fame in this redneck celebrity vortex she finds herself in”
“So in short, Dutton is a gammin. Jacinta is gammin. Everyone who works at this TV station I’m currently talking to is gammin. I hate to say it even my old mates Warren Mundine and Barnaby are gammin.”
“It’s deadly to vote yes!”
