What rubbish.
And Thomson and Rudd.............,You mean like Gillard and Swan.
Just keep looking the other way folks..................
He can't stand the overwhelming glare of the government's problems.Aren't you looking the other way? No substantiation to your otherwise defamatory statement about Abbott?

There will be no substantiation from behind those tightly closed eyelids.
It doesn't matter how smelly it is.lol - maybe IFocus is a misandrist (hater of men).
If we follow Gillard logic (or lack of), then are all Abbott haters misandrists?...
Well he certainly hasn't changed much has he ? Abusive, arrogent, totally destructive. I would be interested to hear his response to the whole story - apart from the incident where he intimidated Barbara Ramjam
And exactly what are this piece of xxxxs good points ?::frown:

The man, a student at the time, said he was outside the Student Representative Council's offices photocopying when "Abbott's famous flying squad of goons crashed down the stairs, threw me against the wall, kicked in the doors of the SRC, and started creating havoc".
Tony Abbott
The man, who emphasises that he was not involved in the SRC election, said it was extremely scary, as they were clearly looking for a fight. But he was so angry he followed them into the building.
"I saw Abbott throw a punch at Barbara Ramjan, but didn't see it land ... when next I saw her, she was in an extremely shocked condition, leaning against the wall ... I thought he had actually struck her, but I can see that was simply my assumption and rationalisation.
"If Ms Ramjan says the punches were aimed next to her head, I can't actually in fact contradict that ... simply I saw Abbott swinging punches, and certainly indulging in serious argy-bargy. I saw him swing a punch, I saw her in great distress."
The witness wishes to remain anonymous but says he is willing to sign a statutory declaration about what he saw, if necessary.
I remember Abbott's offensive behaviour 35 years ago. He hasn't changed much.
I WILL never forget the night in 1975 when I was elected president of the Sydney University Students Representative Council. I beat the DLP candidate by 29 votes. The Trotskyite came third. Malcolm Turnbull, an obscure member of the Australia Party Club, came fourth.
The DLP fellow, a decent bloke whom I now count as a friend, congratulated me, demanded a recount, and told me in a jovial fashion that he would win next time.
I also remember the night in 1977 when Barbara Ramjan was elected president of the SRC. I was her campaign manager. I was there. The big difference was the behaviour of the losing DLP candidate, Tony Abbott. He, too, said he would win next time (he was right), but there were no pleasantries.
David Marr, in his Quarterly Essay 47, ''Political Animal: The Making of Tony Abbott'', quotes Ramjan as thinking that Abbott was about to congratulate her (as my opponent had done two years before). But she was mistaken: ''That's not what he wanted. He came to within an inch of my nose and punched the wall on either side of my head.''
....
He asserts that ''there are no witnesses'' and proclaims, ''the only evidence that a punch was delivered to a wall at Sydney University in 1977 turns on an aggrieved person's memory''.
Wrong.
And for the second witness to bully boy Abbott consider this statement.

(Why is it so hard to post an extract from a story ? My uploads keep getting bounced until I cut them to pieces. Any reasons Mods ? )
I think he is in trouble over this, plenty of witnesses and his cant remember or denial digs a deeper hole.
Everyone knows it is / was part of his character ask Pauline Hanson.
Its fascinating reading about his behaviour as a student.
