Question: Do you trust this Government, the State Government, which is proving to be corrupt, to deliver your major infrastructure?
Abbott: That, if I may say so, is an entirely unjustified smear. Let me not mince my words, an entirely unjustified smear and frankly, I think you should withdraw that and apologise. There is no evidence whatsoever for that. Can you please tell me what your evidence for that is?
Question: He specifically said yesterday if he was delivered a bottle of that nature, he would remember it. Today a thank you note has uncovered and he resigned. I think voters would be sceptical about the way this has unfolded.
Abbott: Without wanting to get into an argument with the media, what you have just said is very different from the accusation, the statement that you earlier made and we need to have decent standards in this country. **We need to have decent standards from the media, if I may say so, as well as decent standards from politicians**.
Hard to see what I'm typing through tears of laughter here.
