aust defence assn backs abbott decoy story, page-8

Can you reference any time in the past that both opposition leader and PM have travelled in the same aircraft to a war zone?

Gillard should have known about this convention and, on that basis, should not have even offered this trip to Abbott.

But she did and then tried to get a cheap shot at Abbott. Not a good look for a PM, IMO.

What a load of imaginary world hogwash.
If this was the case Abbott would have rejected the offer citing this convention as his reason, not citing his lack of sleep.
