Its an unusual trait for a politician to give a straight answer to a straight question. It does open him to this sought of critique, but he is being talked about.
The contrast is between one side replying with, 'well the real question is .....and the answer to that is....' and the other giving a direct answer.
I think if he keeps the contrast up even the mugs will recognise spin as spin. Abbott can't outspin Rudd but he can out honest him.
