The real Ms Gillard & the real Mr Abbot

One has to laugh at Abbot';s cheek in standing up saying "Will the real Julia Gillard please stand up?" and then following up with "If you elect Tony Abbott then you will get Tony Abbott!"

Hugh Mackay rightly remarks that 'we haven't seen the real Tony Abbott'

Abbott has been so totally under control...he has curbed his loose lip, but this is not his usual modus operandi. he is usually a loose cannon who doesn't claim to speak the absolute truth on the run....to be fair which of us does?....but this lip-pursing Abbott never seems to me like 'the real Tony Abbott'!
