You better trot off and tell Tony.
He thinks he was the one who did it.
"Well I did."
and from this article:

"On signing the indemnity, Abbot says: "Obviously in hindsight I shouldn't have done it. But if I had my time again and it was necessary to make an alliance with some pretty unusual people to stop a very serious threat to the cohesion of the country, well, I would do it. I mean how else were we going to stop One Nation at the time?""
(more Abbott speak: on the one hand he's saying he shouldn't have done it, then immediately says he'd do it again....)
