Apparently, some people think he would not make a slightly crass joke about (considering) selling his arse to get the Prime Ministership, but I know that somewhere, on the internet, there is a very similar arse related comment that he is supposed to have said to someone (I think while visiting an aboriginal community?) given in explanation as to why he left the seminary (which he found far too "gay".) I haven't been able to find the quote via Google yet, but I know it is out there somewhere. Readers who find it are welcome to put the link in comments!*
Meanwhile, people have to remember even former Liberal staffer Niki Savva wrote:
I don't think the Abbott quote sounds out of character at all, and I thought it hardly worth his while denying it. (Unless, of course, he didn't say it, I suppose....) Of course, it may be the fact that the quote indicates he'd do anything policy wise to get the leadership is the thing he objects to, but still the suggestion that he doesn't talk "like that" sounded to me like a denial that he has a "colourful", sometimes arse-related, turn of phrase.In private, Abbott talks openly about sex to almost anybody who will listen, and usually at great length. And the conversation continues in public. Journalists persist in asking Abbott for his views on sex and he keeps answering their questions. Even though women resent it when he tries to tell them what they should do with their bodies, he refuses to shut up.
He thinks about it too much. Sex, I mean. Certainly he talks about it too much.
Anyway, the biggest problem with the current union scandal within the Labor side is that is preventing people from remembering what a pillock Tony Abbott can be!
* Update: quote found, from the Sydney Morning Herald, no less:
The teaching staff members at the seminary were influenced by the reforms of Vatican II, and not at all to Abbott's liking. Some of the young seminarians were practising homosexuals. When many years later Abbott and Quarmby met Noel Pearson on business, Abbott jokingly said, according to Quarmby: "Peter and I were the only seminarians who didn't get f---ed."
Yeah, I find the reported quip to Windsor very unlikely (not).

You are all over the big ones aren't you. the labour movement is being exposed as corrupt and all you want to talk about his some pointless comment from a bloke. Only a dickhead thinks thats the big story. You are a gold medal cown.
God you are boring
I have no objection whatsoever with Tone selling his arse. As long as accepts union credit cards as payment.
Abbott is a moron! He would have so many skeletons in his closet that will come out. He is dangerous and a loser. And union cred cards are nothing compared to corruption he represents.
