as far as the people in the Liberal party not hiding their past opinions .Is that really the case ?or do they just cross their fingers and hope it's forgotten by us as it seems to be by them ?

Re-inventing Tony: why Abbott’s attempt to woo women doesn’t bear scrutiny
..I witnessed the attempted impromptu makeover by Abbott in the flesh. Last month Madison Magazine invited me, along with Miranda Devine and Sarah Murdoch, to meet with Abbott and discuss political issues relevant to women. How could I decline?
Of particular interest to me is abortion and reproductive health, and this is likely to be why I was invited.
Abbott was polite and keen to talk and gave every impression of being interested in what I had to say. But when I noted he was the first politician from a major party since the 1970s to break bipartisan consensus and politicise abortion, he denied he had intended to do any such thing.
From that point in the conversation I witnessed a fascinating, determined retelling of history by Abbott, along with a perfectly executed case of selective political amnesia.
