PM shrugs off personal abuse from gallery PRIME Minister Julia Gillard doesn't care about some of the nasty things people say about her, after five people abused her from the public gallery in parliament. Federal Nationals MP Darren Chester said on Tuesday MPs and the public should to lay off making "vicious and personal" attacks on Ms Gillard. Asked for her response on Wednesday, Ms Gillard said she wasn't going to get into a debate about what people said about her. "At the end of the day I don't care and people can make their judgments about the people who say those things," she told reporters in Canberra. On Tuesday, five members of the public verbally abused the prime minister during question time and had to be ejected from the chamber by security. They were believed to be anti-carbon tax campaigners and some Labor MPs on Wednesday tried to sheet home blame for their actions to Opposition Leader Tony Abbott. "For these protesters to think they have a right to come in here and bad mouth the elected prime minister of the land, they are wrong," Queensland MP Graham Perrett told reporters. He said Mr Abbott had created a climate of throwing abusive political "grenades." Ms Gillard said Mr Abbott had brought to Australia the tactics of the US Tea Party movement. "That's what the people's revolt and his call for it was all about," she said. He wanted to create a culture where abusing parliament, heaping abuse on parliament, being disrespectful towards parliament was viewed as standard practice. If you go out and create that culture, it's unsurprising that some people then reflect and mimic that culture. Speaker Anna Burke warned on Tuesday that public access to parliamentary question time in the House of Representatives could be shut down if visitors kept abusing MPs. Mr Abbott said people should be polite to the prime minister and shouldn't be disruptive of the parliament. "It doesn't matter what they think of her policies or her government, they should be polite to her," he told Macquarie Radio. So, I deplore any disruption. But he also said people were entitled to express an opinion. "One of the things that really upsets me about this government is that it seems to be trying to bully people into silence if they are critics of the government," he said.
