Niki Savva defends her book which claims Tony Abbott has an affair with Peta Credlin, page-4

"Ms Savva told ABC’s Insiders that while the pair may not have been having an affair, their close relationship and the way they conducted themselves was a distraction to the party"

Kind of contradicts the thread header.

Malcolm Turnbull and Julie Bishop are close and photographs sugest they could be closer than work collegues IMO.

They are a distraction to the party.
