It is.. does he even know that woman with the baby?
Answering my own question. Smart baby/toddler!
Abbott misses the mark as babies duck for cover
2013
As the campaign planes left Canberra airbase on Tuesday evening, bearing aloft their precious political cargo, the babies of Australia stood to attention.
They might not know much - lacking speech, dexterity and the sophistication needed to understand the nuances of fiscal equalisation - but they knew one thing for sure.
Politicians were coming for them. Their plump cheeks and doughy little hands, so irresistible at the best of times, would be at an even greater premium for the next five weeks of the election campaign.
Opposition Leader Tony Abbott found his mark early. In Adelaide with shadow treasurer Joe Hockey, he visited the Bickford's drinks factory, which makes flash cordials.
On his way in, Abbott spied 15-month-old Angelique Whittaker, held high in her mother Evie's arms. Angelique was dressed in a snow-white tutu for the occasion. Abbott saw his moment, puckered up and zeroed in for landing. But as Angelique recoiled, his kiss was left in mid-air, unmet.
Like a heat-seeking missile, it had to end up somewhere, and Abbott is an action-man, good in a crisis. He saved the situation by marshalling the kiss deftly onto the hair of mother Evie.
Evie didn't mind a bit. "I love Mr Abbott," she said later. "I love everything about him."
