Sarah Ferguson has a very aggressive style. She applies this to everyone she interviews, not just Tony Abbott.
The only exception I've seen is when she was interviewing some climate catastrophist about the latest alarm on climate, then she was asking pure Dorothy Dixer questions. They adored each other.
She was just doing her job this evening imo. Much as I'm delighted at the repeal of the carbon tax and hope the House and the Senate soon stops being so obstructive so that the Libs can get fiscal repair under way, Mr Abbott simply does not have a presence which is easy to watch. His verbal delivery is stilted and hesitant, making him appear lacking in spontaneous honesty.
He seems to lack confidence when being interviewed.
It was a contrast with the Lateline interview last night with new Senator Daid Leyjonhelm (?spelling) who refreshingly just answered so candidly Tony Jones's questions.
I'd have hoped Mr Abbott would by now have acquired some air of authority.
