Tony Abbott ran in the City to Surf this morning and I wonder how many thousands of dollars he claimed in expenses for doing this run.
There must be a tally somewhere of the tens of thousands of taxpayers dollars he has claimed over the years in expenses while pursuing his private interests.

I do agree...Tony has a shocking comb over and being of the same generation as myself he should know better.

At least he went in it. My 3 year-old son could beat Rudd over 20 metres. Rudd couldn't walk the 14km course of the City to Surf. But anyway, today Abbott was running alongside a blind runner by the name of Nathan Johnstone. Abbott has also helped Nathan last year during a Sydney marathon in September.

Apparently, yes it is. Sad, yet unsurprising, isn't it?

Good on him.

If only Abbott the politician was more like Abbott the person.

Let's forget about why he entered this event (and whether the taxpayer subsidised that participation,) let's focus on why he chose, quite deliberately, to run with a disabled person.......media cameras close by and let's remember that he can choose not to pose for photographs depicting it.

SMELL THE STUPIDITY  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

So abbott is a bad person for running in a fitness event and helping a blind runner to compete... 

This commentary probably refects rather badly on those making it. 

I have a 3yo that could outrun Rudd and a 2yo that could probably benchpress more then Rudd.  and BOTH make more sense when they talk!

adelcrow - You most probably couldn't run to the bathroom. Better effort by Abbott in an example for our youth than  that fat little prick Rudd, couldn't even manage one chin up and  boy did he get the sh.ts when he couldn't LOL  ;D ;D ;D ;D

Typical Abbott...  running in an athletic event and helping a blind man on the day Rudd put aside for debate prep.

how evil for the man to help others.

Abbott looked very relaxed and fit during the talk tonight.
relaxed due probably due to this run today.

I always feel relaxed and good about myself after an activity

This is the first time ever I have seen you comment about having children, espically young children.  What else are you hiding from us longy?

I was maning a drink station near the end of the city2surf and I saw no sign of Tony Abbott passing.

I can only conclude that it was a publicity stunt at the start of the race, and abbott abandoned his blind mate soon after.

I think Rudd would have difficulty running and writing policy at the same time, even though he does it alot.

The cynic in me thinks that may have happened, and it also occurs to me that even if Abbott did run the whole race, did he run the entire distance with the blind dude, or was the photo op just at the start and finish.

Next thing you Abbott boot-lickers will be telling me is how terrific he was as a sportsman at Oxford!

Abbott did it for self interest, he knew it would be all over the news the only wankers that bought it are the delusional wankers that will vote for him. He is a self obsessed asshole that only appeals to assholes.

The blind guy has said he didn't want to run at all, but Liberal stooges threatened his family.

He actually collapsed after only 1.2kms.

Liberal party stooges revived him and had him sent by taxi to the finish line for the remaining photo ops.

Who'd-a-thunk they'd stoop so low, 'cause we all know that Abbott himself never cheats.

As opposed to the halfwit constantly posing for "selfies" (as if anyone needs to see him cut himself shaving!) who cannot even do a single pull-up with the help of a young bloke lifting him up by his ample waistline? Abbott does a lot for charity without any media present, unlike Rudd, who turns every church visit into a photo op.

Anyone who partakes in any physical activity gets a tick from me.

rudd should do it,  he's beefing up.  take clive palmer with him

Spot on. Fit body, fit mind.

Just look at corporate employment strategies today and compare with 15-20yrs ago. Krudd is picture perfect of the old Sir Lunchalot....very uninspiring for anyone who enjoys physical activity and the added mental perks.

I am learning how to become a lefty, todays lesson is ... exercise and helping the disabled = BAD ... cheating at a debate = GOOD  :D
Tomorrow I am going on work experience with Tommo, he is going to teach me how to steal union funds and f#ck hookers on someone else's coin.  :D

If you have any proof Abbott has done something illegal then you better inform the police eh.
Abbott has been participating in marathons, long distance bike rides, surfing and other healthy activities now for decades.
He shouldn't be condemned for this, as he sets a good example.
He also has been a volunteer fire fighter also now for many years before he became the opposition leader.
Abbott is what he is, he's genuine and he doesn't have to pretend to be someone who likes to keep fit or participate in community minded activities.
Do you think it would be better if he was a pretender like KRudd?
KRudd can't help but look fake and insincere with anything he does.
But do yourself a favour and stop bagging out and criticising someone for doing the right thing, as this behaviour says more about you than it does about someone who does the right thing.
