Kezia Purick labels Kevin Andrews 'pooncy': CLP MP suggests federal Minister should be castrated if he comes to NT

The Speaker of the Northern Territory's Parliament has launched an extraordinary attack on federal Minister Kevin Andrews over his comments on de facto couples, calling him "pooncy" and suggesting he should be castrated if he tried to tell people how to live their lives.

Country Liberal Party (CLP) MP Kezia Purick made the comments on her Facebook page on Tuesday night and continued her spray when interviewed on 105.7 ABC Darwin this morning.

Mr Andrews, who is the Minister for Social Services, recently suggested that people in de facto relationships were more likely to break up than those who were married.

Ms Purick took offence at the comments.

"Listen here you pooncy, pasty-faced person from some pissant place that no one cares about, half my electorate are probably in de facto relationships and they are happy, normal living people who do their very best for their families and their communities," Ms Purick said in her Facebook post.

"They work hard, try their best and believe that you judge people by their deeds not some piece of paper.

"I have the same support for people who are married or want to get married in the eyes of a church or the law, that is their choice and I respect it.

"Go away Kevin Andrews and if you ever come to the rural area and try to tell us how to live, three words for you, green rubber ring!"

A green rubber ring relates to a device fitted over the testicles of animals, which results in castration.

Mr Andrews created controversy by saying there was a higher incidence of de facto relationships breaking up than married couples and that married couples were more stable.

in the construction industry the unions run the organised crime network, you should have watched 4 corners on the ABC last night, for all the details i eluded to yesterday.

I have no idea where ricey got his views from saying unions pressure people to join . None of the unions I joined have never pressured me to join . I guess people are using that view to attack unions without any proof that os happening

Keating, Hawke and Gillard were given standing ovations at Gough's memorial today. Howard and Abbott booed and jeered

Keating was rightly given the largest ovation

Booing was unnecessary. A golf clap would have delivered the same message (though I hear that's what Kev got :lol: )

He will receive god like praise too when he dies for the big stolen gen apology and ratifying kyoto.

In my first job as a teenager in a supermarket, we were all pressured to join whatever union covered us at the time. Not intense pressure, but you would have a rep walking up to 15 year olds telling them they had to join.

Then legally you can report him to the union . Unions aren't legally able to pressure anyone to join a union .

Yer classy wasnt it, turning Whitlams funeral into a popularity contest for most beloved Labor PM.

As for Whitlam he was a clearly a bit of a gloryhunter, obviously no good to last more than one term but jammed enough dogooding to earn a seat at the right hand of god.

Yeah, this is the best description of "pressure" to join unions. It's a long way from the standover nonsense that finklestein asserts.

just so you get it right Matt, the standover tactics i talk about are not that on union membership, they are the stand over tactics used to extort money and influence over who wins jobs and how to keep those job free of union trouble, you should have watched the ABC four corners earlier this week for a full and convincing endorsement of what i have been saying

[size=9]I could never watch an agenda ridden and biased network like the ABC.
