Abbott had been wanting an extended visit and overnight stay and was dealing with Defence Dept
So someone says, And yet when he did go he only stayed 10 hours .. not overnight .... lol, must have been the longest 10 hours of his life ... just not wanting to really be there.
So when Gillard offered him a place with her , he didn't really have any visit already planned at all .. but he said he did. LIES. I bet he had to rush, after that shameful exposure, to get something locked in with defence dept. Interesting how, when he really had to lock something in he did so quickly, but before that he claimed to have "delays", lol.
