statesman tony educating europe, page-84

Jimcross, Tony Abbott has never undertaken to place his neck on the frontline; he has that in mind for others.

Indeed, after threatening to shirtfront Vladimir Putin he even sent in Julie Bishop to do the tough stuff for him and later appeared for a photo shoot smiling with Putin and a koala on his chest.

As for who's been judged to have made idiotic comments; according to media reports Abbott's London speech has been pilloried on social media:

"#TheToneCommandments: The internet’s not done with Tony Abbott"
