so in short... you are saying that he DID confront Putin, unlike your previous statement?

Abbott has guts and character, the likes of which we have not seen in a long time.
No his all piss & wind
Discussions went on behind closed doors & we can only go on what Mr Abbott's team say, sorry if I take their statement with a massive block of salt.

and for goodness sake, can you not just once say that Abbott has done something good and right?
Well when he actually does something good or right I'll be front & centre

who else among world leaders has got the balls to confront this dangerous dictator?
You've fallen for the spin.
I'm no fan of Putin but the Ukraine & Baltic region are very complicated issues.
One might be wrong footed in supporting 1 side over the other, much like the US & other were backing ISIL over Assad 12 months ago.
