Why hasn't this third rate actress been charged under 18C. Thousands of Australians are offended by her and by the Editor in Chief allowing the program to go to air.

It appears that the no good, devious ABC has double/double standards and that the ABC needs to be abolished now for the benefit of all Australians.

Q&A is a show that I can never watch. The show has no respect for the realities of life.

Margoyles,after all ,is only an actor.
She knew on Q&A she had a captive audience and she displayed her pro-Palestinian activism for all to see.
I read that Margoyles has three homes,one in London,another in Tuscany and a third here in Australia at Robertson N.S.W.
Margoyles was brought up in a Jewish household.....
She maybe very lucky that Hamas doesn't know she is Jewish.

Personally, I would never watch the Q & A rubbish but if this loathsome individual said this where is 18C, Tones? Or is 18C only for those who criticize towel-heads? Time to grow the missing pair, Tones, and demonstrate to us small-folk what 18C is for!

Why am I not surprised?

Don't you know that actors and actresses gain higher knowledge as they climb the ladder to success and the wealth to become fountains of leftist knowledge.

She is entitled to her opinion ... just as we all are .
Q & A was very good this week
The 2 Pollies were a breath of fresh air .... respected each other and answered the questions.
The rest of the panel were good and did not dodge the questions.
Even a former LNP staffer ( in the Audience ) got to ask a loaded questions .... and got unloaded answers.
Miriam ... do I agree with here .... maybe , maybe not.
But she has a right to express her opinions.

haha was spelling "Margolyes" like "Gargoyles" intentional or a Freudian slip?

I had not heard the word "tit" used as a derogatory term (apart from "vinegar tits") until I heard Margoyles call Abbott one. On a bit of searching, it seems that it is the feminist way of describing someone as a "dickhead" or a "dick". Possibly feminists don't want to give significance to the male even with a put down word they chose to use. I read somewhere that it is demeaning (theoretically) only to the target inasmuch as it demeans their humanity by making them a part of a human body and not a whole human. In my opinion, we hear these words too often today to consider them terribly offensive.

Barry Humphries appeared with Margoyles on Q&A in May 2012. He was the better performer on the night as regards one up manship on her anti semitic views. I wish he could be on Q&A whenever Margoyles is given a gig to put some balance into the celebrity panelists.

Hmm some vitriolic statements don't really support your views.
For example you haven't named the "greedy mates" and given examples of why they are greedy.
Nor did you mention that Joe was reading from the Intergenerational Report.
Also "so many rumbling Liberal backbenchers who are very unhappy" yet you fail to name one or provide any attributable statements.
Unless you can, you fail to have credence.
That aside the article is about a Q & A guest panelist - so you fail to join the discussion at hand.
Just some points to help you lift your game if you don't want to be just wasting your time.

Labor raised the age pension age to 67, remember?

"But she has a right to express her opinions."

How generous of you!

A pity you don't think Michael, Tony Abbott or conservatives deserve the same right!

By the way, as well as being Jewish, Miriam Margolyes is apparently also gay.

I wonder how that goes down with her Muslim mates, or does she hide those facts from them?

I find it amusing she portrays as an intelligent feminist lefty , this is the very same woman who said herself in an interview with Andrew Denton ,
Quote "Jewish girls don't f*ck " ..,so at University I specialised in oral sex ,and then " If you want to know the real me ,my sh*t doesn't stink" .

what Great Left leaning classy babe .....not !..perfect for the level of sophistication at the ABC .

She won't get any brownie points from a single Muslim let alone Hamas. Those are the self-loathing Jews who rather be a traitor to their own people than standing up for them. She had a few minutes of glory from the left and will be forgotten after they used her. What the ABC is to Australia so is she to Israel.

You see NOTL I also believe that they have the right to express their opinion ...... Just where in my comment above do you find that i don't think they are the same right . Wrong .
The basis of good debate is listening all sides.
I know lots of people from all walks of life who have different opinions to me and most are good friends of mine.
We don't have to agree with everyone ..... but we have to get on together. ..... that is the Aussie way.

An excellent example of Humphries at his slap down best.
I think it was Barry Humphries that once said when asked a politicly loaded question,, "why would I seek to alienate half my audience"?
Tis a pity that other "stars" of the screen and stage don't put a sock in it.
They are given the title "stars" of the screen and stage by virtue of their performances.
Not because of their personal opinions!
The abuse of that stage happens all to often and is never afforded to the majority of rhe population who may have a different opinion.

I hadn't heard that particular insult before, but it describes Margoyles perfectly. So she is a lesbian, self loathing jewess, leftie female actress.
Which one of these does she think Islam likes.

gays get thrown off buildings.
Jews they hate passionately and unreservedly, even if they hate themselves,
Leftie leaning politics are western corruption and does not translate into Islam
Female, what more needs to be said.
Actress, well theatre, music, entertainment in general is banned unless it is in the form of torture or beheadings.

I cannot find one attribute she has which would allow her to survive Islam. She had better be nice to us as there are not a lot of bolt holes left for her.

Sunshine, in your political blindness, try being a little objective?

I am merely stating a fact. Hypocritical big Joe and his "greedy mates" pull a pension when ever they like and while in perfect health with no means test/assets test and with a few cushy jobs on the side. And they want everyone else to get the pension when they get to 80-85, work till they drop!

i.e. jobs like big Joe's greedy, well-connected mate Arthur Sidonis's $300K p.a. political lobbying jobs for 10 minutes work? No wonder silly big Joe wants to work till 80 and live to 150? And all of his free trade bullshit??

N.B. Punishing their own voters, Liberal obviously want to lose the next election...

Perhaps Gargoyles being architectural features are exempt from prosecution and classification.

I can see why Ted is no longer an advisor—he was too independent and wouldn't wear the Blue Uniform items.

It's a brain dead format. Too many panellists even if there was a talented compere and no audience. It's a political ambush show to beat the non ALPBC targets with. If they get a Q Ship like Turnbull on then it's a beat up on someone who isn't there to defend themselves or their position. I watch it so rarely I only ever know what it's been up to from blog reports. Life is too short to bother with Wagner or Q&A.

Dennis Thompson must be an alias. The dill behind the name would not want his mates to know how big a dill he is.

In your one-sided education you probably were never told that the economic God of LABOR, the Grate Paul Keating, used the Public Hospital System for himself and his family because it was free.
It is no wonder he became a pig farmer, it allowed him to own the trough.

Under Margoyles' rules we can dislike muslims because of Iran and ISIS. It reminds me of the young woman who was raped.... her fault because she wore a short skirt.

At least you're consistent! You never, ever let the facts get in the way of your endless socialist left drivel based on falsehoods straight from the Labor party song sheet, and divisive class envy. As you're so obsessed with what our elected politicians salaries and perks of office are, perhaps you'd like to try your hand at what our politicians are obligated to do for the nation in order to earn their salary, perks and superannuation entitlements. As we still live in a democratic society, there's nothing to stop you personally [or anyone else - ie Lambie, Muir et al] from standing for a seat in the parliament at the next state or federal election. Or, is there?
