McGinty 'should apologise' for paedophile joke

The Western Australian Opposition is demanding the
state's Attorney-General, Jim McGinty, apologise after he joked that
"paedophiles vote Liberal".

Mr McGinty made the joke during a media conference, on legislation
he introduced this week, which gives some prisoners the right to vote.

He then told reporters not to run his comment.

Shadow Attorney-General Christian Porter says the joke is incredibly offensive to anyone who has ever voted Liberal.

"It's seriously one of the more bizarre things that I've heard in my time here," he said.

"Albeit, there have been many bizarre things, and it really warrants an apology.

"If that was a brain snap then let's have an apology because that's not good enough."

Right  to vote for prisoners in WA as in the USA is a race and national oppression question .

ROFLOL

Have you folks no sense of humor? No sense of the ways that could be twisted around? For example?

"No, paedophiles DON'T vote Liberal --- there are some things even a paedophile won't do".
