Magnanimous decision by Abbott
Oct 13^th, 2013 at 8:59pm

http://au.news.yahoo.com/a/19372249/gg-offered-abbott-her-resignation/

Prime Minister Tony Abbott has revealed Governor-General Quentin Bryce offered to resign in anticipation of Bill Shorten's election as Labor leader.

Ms Bryce, who is the mother-in-law of Mr Shorten, wanted to avoid any perception of bias.

"I have thanked her for her magnanimity but declined to accept her resignation," Mr Abbott said in a statement on Sunday.

Instead the prime minister asked Ms Bryce to stay on until March 2014, when she is due to retire.

Ms Bryce's agreement to stay on was a measure of her personal commitment to provide continuity at a time of political turbulence, Mr Abbott said.

"She should be commended for her dedication to public service."

It was only "fit and proper" that Ms Bryce be permitted to conclude her term and be accorded the appropriate farewell that her exemplary service merited, he said.

Interesting to see the reference in Jack Sh1t's signature

freediver, jacksh1t and others were given the context of what Abbott said and challenged to debate it

accordingly all back out of the debate knowing they are wrong (worse still they don't know they are wrong)

But now - jacksh1t decide to bring it up again

is jacksh1t a moron!!??

YOU BET!!!

I regard that as a huge mistake by Bryce and Abbott. Now that her son-in-law is Opposition Leader, she ought go whether Abbott wants it or not. She must go, now.

At any time, she could be faced with a Kerr/Fraser/Whitlam type issue (especially given the PUP Senate situation) and having a son-in-law in that ALP position demands that she abandon the GG post no matter what Abbott says.

I can see your point, Aussie. What would your stance be if it was an elected position?
