Dear Poirot,

Thanks for that.

But it's not surprising.

There's so much more we don't know about
that man that will one day come out.
David Marr has made a good start.
If you haven't seen it, get hold of a copy
of "QE (Quarterly Essay)- Political Animal -
The Making of Tony Abbott. It's interesting
reading.

There's also a book entitled, "The Wisdom of
The Abbott." A Collection of Tony Abbott
quotes. Mr Abbott speaks - on climate change:
"absolute crap."
On Honesty: "One man's lie is another man's
judgement call."
On Poverty: "we just can't stop people from
being homeless if that's their choice."

And there's more ...

As for spending money? The following link may be
of interest:

Our former Prime Ministers cost us a fortune, and of course
John Howard tops the list with $300,000 for the 2010-11
financial year. (and that's not even
counting his generous pension).

Close observers of politics will have no trouble remembering Tony Abbott used government travel to sell his book.
Charged with that by Labor he denied it.
Held on to his position strongly.
As the election nears he just paid, every cent, for his flights to sell him self and his book.
That is what he stands for, untrustworthy and that is the man.

Story picked up by MSM....

Yes that is the one I quoted.
However I need to correct my self, I got it wrong in part.
Tony paid it quietly after saying he had no need to, 2 years ago.
Hope he stays fit.
He will soon have more time to peddle his push bike.
I would not like to be one of his advisers who told him the negativity thing always works.

Lexi, Belly,

Dear Poirot,

I think this is only the tip of the iceberg
to what the man's really done.
He like his mentor John Howard deserve to
end up on the dung heap of history.
Disgusting!
