4 Kudos for a post that is demonstrably wrong, would indicate a fair degree of Myopia, and a somewhat red viewing filter.
Correct rating:
A3: " He hasn't been in the area he was in the last couple of days for 10 years.. coincidence he has a bike race at same time?"

Pollie Pedal 2012; Visit to Corangamite; Torquay by TONY ABBOTT MHR
23 March 2012 .
Aug. 20, 2013,
Mr Abbott pledged $25 million over five years during a visit to Anglesea, in the ultra-marginal Victorian seat of Corangamite, which Liberal candidate Sarah Henderson hopes to win.
16 Dec 2013
PRIME Minister Tony Abbott has stopped in Anglesea this morning to announce the next stage of upgrade works on the Great Ocean Road.
The PM, celebrating his 100th day in office, made an early-morning announcement near the Anglesea tourist information centre before heading to Torquay, where he is officially opening the $115 million RACV golf club resort.
The problem with making unresearched (and incorrect) statements, is that subsequent posts will be viewed in the same light :- as codswallop.

and this is an interesting article though it's dated 2010, it looks as if John Howard is the biggest spender, followed by Malcom Fraser
according to the article, Keating is the most frugal 
Mr Keating's office is the most frugal as he keeps staffing costs low by engaging people on a part-time and ad hoc basis.
Each former PM is entitled to at least two staff, including a senior private secretary, and the annual wages bill of each is nearly $300,000.
Mr Keating saves about $70,000 a year by using staff as he needs them instead of full time appointees.
vicr - It;s not the fact that he has been to other places, its the fact that these places he visits are at the same time he has a private gathering/function etc to attend.
He hasn't been in the area he was in the last couple of days for 10 years.
I see the accuracy of posts (sans research) continues to be irrelevant. Apart from the fact that the 10 year comment being absolutely wrong (deliberately?), does it not impose upon your instructions to confine debate to modern history, or more accurately within the the pink Myops comfort zone?. This zone most definitely being outside of the days of the Circus with its Poor Me and Rudd knife act.
What exactly A3 was the "private" gathering Abbott attended, in between his public appearances in the area, for the first time in 10 years ?, or is that as accurate as the "10 years"?
