This is Federal Opposition Leader Tony Abbott on the campaign trail with two of his daughters.
The third daughter, Louise, (pictured left) is rarely seen this time around and word is that it is more than living overseas that sees her avoiding ‘Dad’ while he is frenetically romancing voters.
Not something the Abbott team might want to admit perhaps?

UPDATE:
Unable to resist placing his own political priorities above his daughter Louise, Tony Abbott has obviously leaked to the media that Louise is returning to Australia for the last week of his election campaign
Whether he wins or loses, her diplomatic career will always be suspect from this point onwards.
The Herald Sun 30 August 2013:
UPDATE 2
Louise Abbott barely back on Australian soil and her father begins to use her in his election campaign via Twitter:

Is Louise 1 of those 20000 extra public servants that got her job since ALP elected? As Joe says "do we really need an extra 20000?"
Will she be 1 of the 12000 public servants that will lose her job through natural attrition?
Should the questions be put to Tony?
Could Chris Uhlmann, David Speers ask them?
I wondered what Louise was doing.
Good to see she is an attractive, intelligent lass capable of representing Australia.
"attractive", really? Her looks are not relevant here.
What does her appearance have anything to do with her abilities? And she is not a lass, she is a WOMAN.
5000 of those publis service job are part time reserve postions
some were in the regular army as well
that she is working For DFAT and Bob Carr would not be something Abbott would like out there Heavens She may even say something nice about the Government
Not a public servant, more likely a locally engaged expat. It is not a political role.
there is nothing wrong with calling a female a lass, it is not a derogatory term nor is it insulting, nor is it wrong to compliment a female or a male on their looks. FFS some people! Is Penny Wong posting here?
That's right, Jim, you hunk of a lad, you... ;)
'Not a public servant'?
Think you'll find DFAT does all the hiring, firing & wage paying.
Am intrigued by this appointment in light of Frances' gig @ Whitehouse.
Been putting together a time-line (multiple sources) to see how she the job application/ interview/ engagement as a LES unfolded.
She seems to have been employed on 14 September 2012 - Job advertised on Geneva's UN site on 4 July 2012.
How come she delivered the Netherland's address on 31 May 2012 - 4 months before she was appointed!!!!????
