tony's moment in the sun, page-6

Tony Abbott was in a lose lose situation.
If he had not released the information and it does turn out to be the missing plane, he would have been accused of witholding information.
If it turns out to be a shipping container or some other debris he will be accused, as some have already, of it being a publicity stunt.
He made sure he put a caveat on the announcement yesterday saying it might not be debris from the missing plane.
Love or hate Tony Abbott, he was very measured yesterday and did not give false hope.

The lefties on here most probably praying that it is a shipping container and can have a go at Tony Abbott, and not show compassion for the missing people as they have not shown with the no boats policy. The lefties ar praying that there will be more illegal boats coming to Australia with the associated risk of the illegals losing their lives also.
