Australian Politics Forum - Abbotts City to Surf

adelcrow Gold Member Offline Australian Politics Posts: 20133 everywhere Gender:	Abbotts City to Surf Aug 11^th, 2013 at 9:59am 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.
And Im not just talking about the election Im talking about every day of his political life over the last 20+ yrs

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?

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.

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!
