Remembering the deeply weird side of Mr. Rabbitt - Part Four

 
In September 2005 while attending a Liberal Party fundraiser for Barry O’Farrell in the Speaker’s dining room of the New South Wales Parliament, Mr. Rabbitt referred to the former NSW Opposition Leader who just twelve hours before had attempted to take his own life…….
 
 
When this remark became known, then Federal Health Minister Tony Abbott told The Sydney Morning Herald; "From time to time all of us say things that are more or less crass and in the great scheme of my mind ... I think my comments ... are fairly low on the Richter scale. If I was resigning every time I upset someone, I would have lasted about a week."
