Tony Abbott owes this journalist an apology.

The female journalist asked the PM if he trusted the state government, which she said had been "proven to be corrupt".

NSW Premier resigns in wake of ICAC revelation

Abbott reacted angrily to the question, lecturing the woman who asked it and suggesting she "withdraw".

"That is an entirely unjustified smear," Mr Abbott said.

"Let me not mince my words madam. An entirely unjustified smear. Frankly

I think you should withdraw that and apologise because there is no evidence whatsoever."

No, he certainly doesn't owe the journalist an apology. If anything, the journo should apologise to the hard working, decent MPs who are being unfairly painted with the same brush. There are and have been some very decentMPs from both sides of politics.

Abbott's made his entire political career around casual smears. He had no compunction about casual smears - and more. What a hypocrite.

He can dish it out but he cannot take it!
