Abetz canes smarmy Tony Jones., page-29

Jones caned by Abetz - hilarious.

Abezt exposed himself as is either a liar or a fool with no political acumen - and that's why he was derided by the audience and most thinking people.

Abetz,“We had no idea Malcolm was going to spring that leadership vote on without any notice to the membership of the parliamentary party.” (So after months of destabilizing it hadn't crossed Eric mind that Turnbull might fight back)

Jones: “Before you had the chance to do it yourself?”

Abetz: “Oh, Tony, that is the sort of bias that unfortunately gets the ABC in to strife. That's the sort of editorialising that does you and this show no good.”

Jones: “You don't think Dutton was angling to take over the leadership prior to the spill?”

Abetz: “No. He wasn't. He was not expecting that vote, nor was I.”

There you have it - liar or political fool - take your pick.
