Gillard baby talk on whore after

ALP says Tony Abbott denies pair for Thomson baby birth
Asked whether the rule would apply to Mr Thomson, Opposition Leader Tony Abbott told reporters on Thursday: "We have made it crystal clear that only in the most extraordinary circumstances will pairs be offered for the carbon tax vote."
"This is by far the most important vote that the Australian parliament will take in the current term of parliament and the first duty of members of parliament is to be in the parliament when critical votes are taken," Mr Abbott said during a visit to Tumbi Umbi, in Mr Thomson's NSW central coast seat of Dobell.
But the opposition's parliamentary business manager Christopher Pyne took a harder line in an interview on Macquarie Radio. "No, there'll be no pairs granted during the carbon tax vote," Mr Pyne said. "It's entirely within the gift of the government when the carbon tax bills are brought on for a vote, and therefore they have had weeks of notice that we will not be giving pairs for that vote. "If they are foolish enough to schedule the vote at a time when Mr Thomson can't be there, then that will be on their head."
