“look…I never really left you Herr Murdoch” gushed Tony…
Realise that, realise that. You’ve been my little sleeper, eh Abbott? In actual fact, we errr, we were rather pleased with your stint with Australians for Constitutional Monarchy…
Why thank you, Herr Murdoch…I was Executive Director of Australians for Constitutional Monarchy from 1993–94.
Yeah, the bloody Royals are always good for my circulation. Was around then that you, Abbott, caught my eye. Thought we’d give you a crack on the Australian.
Indeed, I wrote…as a journalist…for your august national journal…
Then we aided your ascendancy to the towering heights of Federal Health Minister, no less…
Indeed, Herr Murdoch. Indeed.
Guess somebody had to keep those moaning asbestos union lefties at bay. You were just the ticket. You and Julie, that is.
Look, why thank you…
Fast forward to Aug ’13 and you now have 70% of all Australian newspapers…MY 70%…articulating THE VALUES, DIRECTIONS AND POLICY PRIORITIES of my next coalition government!!!
Indeed, Herr Murdoch. Indeed.
‘nd NEVER FORGET, ABBOTT, NEVER FORGET WHAT WE LEARNED FROM BUSHES 1 & 2. NEVER FORGET that I DECIDE who will lead this country and the manner in which they lead it!!!
