I'd be obliged if you could articulate those particular virtues pertaining to Abbott's "team"?
Poirot,
I'm happy to oblige. They have some sense in contrast to Rudd's lot having none.

David G,

The only thing you have on Abbott is a radical left whinger claiming after 30 years that Abbott punched the wall either side of her head after a student council meeting. Surprisingly among a throng of students that this was witnessed by no one, nor reported. Another attempt by the same bunch to report harassment by Abbott was disproved by multiple independent witnesses, and nearly lead to the prosecution of the left whinger involved.

Rudd the Dudd however, has a multitude of reports of nasty behaviour by multiple witnesses

Thanks, SM.

Your opinion pertains to this story.

".....and nearly lead to the prosecution of the left whinger involved."

Well, there was a court case concerning Ramjan's claims.

"In a remarkable twist that could reignite debate about Mr Abbott's alleged punching of a wall after losing a student election in the late 1970s, News Ltd's barrister read an extended apology in the NSW Supreme Court on Monday on behalf of The Australian to the alleged victim of the intimidation, Barbara Ramjan, as part of a settlement of a defamation action."

""The Australian apologises to Ms Ramjan for any suggestion that she lied about those events and acknowledges that the recollection of those events was contested by all participants, who were sincere in what they recalled."

The apology was part of a settlement of the defamation action which Ms Ramjan brought against News Limited and Mr Kroger over the accusations, which he repeated on Channel 10's The Bolt Report, and Alan Jones' breakfast radio show on 2GB."

P,

As there were no witnesses, Newscorp could no more prove that Ramjan's fantasy was false than Ramjan could prove it was true.
