Pleased to see you pick up on not being able to have your comments misconstrued if you don't make comments in the first place.
Most people are aware that at sensitive times its best to keep your mouth under control - not Tony Abbott though, as also recently seen in inappropriate comments he made in Parliament with President Obama present.
As an alternative Tony Abbott could have used Australia Day to acknowledge the positive contributions of Aborigines to Australia or even outline his vision, policy detail & implementation plan to improve those awful key indicators - oops, they don't exist though!
