Look at the stable Australian Leader of the Opposition trained in. According to his own biographical notes at www.tonyabbott.com.au Tones teh Terrible Abbott admits:"His previous career was in journalism, where he wrote as a feature writer for 'The Bulletin' and 'The Australian'."
The Bulletin may have been a xenophobic and openly racist Packer publication, but The Australian is of course a News Ltd newspaper and I have to wonder if it was at the feet of Rupert Murdoch that Tones honed his ability to tell political whoppers.
Abbott still writes for News Ltd today under its Daily Telegraph masthead and has been doing so since at least 2008.
In the last few days Tones has been fronting the cameras peddling one of his many proven falsehoods ie ''This is a draconian new police force chasing an invisible, odourless, weightless, tasteless substance''
It seems that, like Murdoch, the Opposition Leader still believes we love to eat manure at breakfast time.
