Yes the deflection gets a little boring, whats in the tele - rather surprised their ringing endorsement of abbotts spectacular display of stupidity hasn't been posted here, oh well - there's always tomorrow. 

[i-need-a-martini]

What a wasted opportunity for Australia this whole G20 has been.

The Daily Telegraph and the Bolt Report can gloat all they like about what a standout Abbott was but the reality is documented in rela news and in overseas press.

He made us look provincial, unintelligent, shallow.

Much fuss was made in the Murdoch press about his 'strong stance' with Putin, what was this stance? What did he actually say? Unlike the clear public stance other leaders made to Putin, we will never know what our PM said. I wonder why? Is it simply that after all that blustering talk prior the Putin visiting, Abbott didn't have the guts to follow trough with anything substantial?
