abbott it's time to get tough with rudd, page-39

a must read for all the Abbott worshipers here.

Kevin Rudd's Press Club speech: full transcript

extract from his speech:

"Today, I wanted to debate the future of our economy.

Mr Abbott's absence has made such a debate impossible.

Therefore, whenever you hear Mr Abbott, Mr Hockey, Mr Robb or anyone else try and run the lines on an Australian debt and deficit crisis, remember this was the day for Mr Abbott to defend his case.

Instead, Mr Abbott decided to cut and run.

Run away from the facts.

But keep pumping out the fear."

End of extract.

Abbott is so tough, from a distance, it would appear.
