This is what passes for political debate in Australia; I’m actually okay with that. Engaging with Tony Abbott’s policies would just give them air. So long as I don’t have to take his statements on sex and climate change seriously, I’m happy to join the rest of Australia in marvelling at the outline of his penis. Here now are some of the key political debate points pertaining to this important issue, as raised by the commenters to this article:
1. These comments clearly authored by a Liberal staffer:

Good on the bloke for being fit enough to wear them. Obviously he doesn’t over indulge on meals provided at the tax payer expense, unlike some larger politicians.
Sirro of Sydney Posted at 12:50 PM Today
Give the bloke a break … he is out doing some exercise on the w/e. A large part of the population wear this type of swimming costume when they go to the beach. Are the media all turning into Ruddite wowsers who frown on anything not intelligensia driven? At least Abbott is an Aussie who generally reflects the values of the majority of Australians.
2.These comments, clearly authored by one or more Labor staffers:

Im not gay but what an awesome body for his age! lets see him up against Krudd side to side
Dave of Sydney Posted at 1:57 PM Today
I’m seriously concerned that the PM is developing body image issues.
3. These viable points made by the sexually frustrated wives of plutocrats:

You have to admit, he’s hot! Mr Abbott, you have my vote!

This is very good media for Abbot. It makes us women see Krudd as a girl with nothing manly about him at all. He can’t even choose his shirt and tie each morning.
4. This comment, which seems to adopt Abbott’s own paradigm in confusing hardline Catholic misogyny with common decency:

he can get around wearing that but females shouldn’t have sex before marriage? TYPICAL!!!!
5. This point, fairly made, that sports do not require abrogation of public decency laws:
InSearchOfTheTruth of Sydney Posted at 11:58 AM Today
He makes me ill. Totally inappropriate, I have also done the swim and worn appropriate clothing reflecting my age and consideration of others in my immediate surrounds.
6. This, a plea for more funding for public education in remote Australia:
John of Darwin of Darwin Posted at 12:18 PM Today
Why doesnt the Media beat up on Mr Rudd for what he promised and hasnt done instead of Mr Abbots swim wear or is it the Media is not allowed to, The Media seem very quite on the Rudd Goverment.
7. And this, which is pretty much my favourite, just because I can totally see Abbott staging Putin shots, striding around with a bare chest killing and skinning kangaroos or something:
Auds of Perth Posted at 3:06 PM Today
What about the fat whales in bikinis that walk the path ways now that is gross he at least looks fit and healthy. Putin,Sarkozy,Obama,they look like strong leaders of today and so would Abbot. The wafflers Brown,Rudd look like porky’s and not leaders.They worried give them stick Abbot.
