It's still hard to believe that that actually happened. He did give a couple of good speeches though. "Win just one for the Gipper"

Quote:

When asked about the Newspoll this morning, Mr Abbott said there was still two weeks to go.

"I've always said winning from opposition is like climbing Mount Everest and nothing that has happened over the last few days has changed my judgement," he said.

"The point I will be making on September 8 should there be a change of government: Australia is under new management and Australia is once more open for business."

He could be good, providing he was still stuck in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London? At least then, we would have to put up with the winner spruiking his way around Australia telling us how good he/they are?
