The Australian Liberal Students Federation has a history of bigotry, but usually avoids the media spotlight by confining their activities or university campus shenanigans.
However, former president Tim Andrews took recruiting (tory-speak for stacking) to a new low today when he was exposed for unveiling his personal strategy on his blog (now password protected): the "Babe Theory of Politics" - essentially that where there are "hot babes" there are eager young male stacks.
Women lying on beds, posing in suspenders and even a bikini clad young Tory. "We have the hot babes" he posts, on a blog so appalling that even Howard government appointed sex commissioner Pru Goward, now Tory MP, has slammed it.
These pictures, uploaded to the blog, are used to support the contention that the young liberals will succeed. In the words of former Liberal Student's Federation President Tim Andre
“However – there is reason for hope! For optimism! Definite proof that here in Australia we shall triumph!Perhaps we shouldn't be surprised at the conduct of an organization that once proudly sang "God Save the Queen" over an indigenous speaker at a national conference of students but you'd like to think - at least publicly - they have something more going for them than using photos of their own members in a degrading fashion.
“How do I know this? Easy – the Babe Theory Of Politics. To put it simply – we have all the hot girls.” - Tim Andrews
