miranda divine on the abbott story, page-5

one thing for certain, is that not many people are as community minded, as what abbott is. abbott was into health, fitness, fire fighter, surf life saver - a long time, before he became leader of the opposition. watso wonders what that riley guy contributes to society. perhaps the riley guy should do a story about what abbott contributes to society.

one left jab from abbott, would have sent riley back about 5 metres.

what does tim do??? - julie mentioned one or two things (from memory, he watched the cricket) - and what does julie do???? .

frankly abbott, is the man, that every australian man dreams about being.. just think about it - but he was a womanizer (which was a conflict to his religious beliefs), he was a boxer, a rugby player, a rhodes scholar, a fire fighter, a surf life saver . australia would be proud to have him as the pm.

never underestimate what abbott is doing - he is smarter than all the other pollies. what you see, is what you get when he stared down that riley guy, he did the right thing - and in the end, when he was questioned, he gave the appropriate response
