Talk:Ray Stevens (politician)

who deleted this? "On September 11 2012, Stevens sparked racism claims after using the term "Jihad Jackie" in Parliament to describe opposition spokeswoman Jackie Trad (herself of Catholic-Lebanese heritage). While Stevens withdrew the remark in Parliament upon urging by house speaker, he staunchly maintained using the word Jihad to descibe someone of Arabic heritage, on September 11, was nothing he needed to apologise for. He subsequently said Trad needed to "harden up" and had a "glass jaw"." - it is WORD for WORD from the news article at http://www.news.com.au/national/ray-stevens-jihad-remark-sparks-parliament-racism-claim/story-fndo4ckr-1226472138467 Objectivity please! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 119.129.193.101 (talk) 14:16, 11 September 2012 (UTC)
