"The reason Abbott was not smiling is probably because some of the soldiers had told him what they think of him."
Gillard hears Abbott wants to visit troops , Gillard jumps in her jet and gets their first and politicises the fact. Abbott should have just said from the start he would visit the troops in his own time and it made sense the prim minister visited first.
Abbott was set up hook line and sinker and was well slimed.
Media for the good part here in Vic played along with it too.
