referring to the Opening post - a continuation of the Tony Abbott dribble
“I was very privileged, very privileged, Mr Speaker, to have recently been afforded the opportunity to meet with our hard-working, dedicated service men and women, including the odd poof, who serve this nation in protecting our national interests and ensure that we as Australians can sleep safely at night” said Mr Abbott.
“This is very dangerous work, very dangerous work, Mr Speaker, that few, few, few of those opposite would have an understanding of, of, of or, or, or, ah, ah an appreciation of, the, the daily risks, and I mean real critical life and death risks, that these truly admirable and courageous Australians, put, put, put, put themselves through every day, with very little, very little creature comforts, that ordinary, ordinary Australians, take for granted every day.”
Mr Abbott offered his complete and full support for Australia’s troops in Afghanistan.
“Fighting on the field, as I have done, side by side, with my, my, fellow Australians in Afghanistan is what I would consider to be one of the greatest highlights of my political career so far, Mr Speaker” said Mr Abbott.
“And while those opposite would seek to politicise the great sacrifice made by our diggers, they ought, ought, ought, really ought, to hang their heads in shame, Mr Speaker, Mr Speaker, because that is nothing other, nothing other than gutter level politics, pure opportunism and political bastardry!” He said.
