QUESTION:

It’s been reported that you have been forced to repay the amount? Are the reports inaccurate?

TONY ABBOTT:

This was dealt with two years ago. This is old news. Old news. Now, why is Kevin Rudd now trying to dish this sort of dirt? Kevin Rudd came into the prime ministership a few days ago and he said let’s have a kinder, gentler polity. Now, that was a bit rich from someone who’d spent three years and three days plotting against a prime minister, but he called for a kinder, gentler polity and he called for positive politics. Now, we’ve got the Labor Party spinning this kind of stuff. Now, let’s move on.

QUESTION:

It’s not the Labor Party. It’s an independent website who did an FOI?

TONY ABBOTT:

Let’s move on. Let’s move on.
