A bit of the transcript for your reading pleasure. Crime Minister Abbott:- “I have “enormous respect and admiration” for Premier Barry O’Farrell. He’s been a great servant of the Liberal Party, a great servant of the people of NSW and of Australia. Obviously as we now know he “innocently”, “inadvertently” misled ICAC yesterday, and he has taken “utte...rly honourable” step of resigning Premier. Now, this is an “honour” and an integrity at a “very high level”. We are seeing an “act of integrity”, an “act of honour”, the likes of which we have rarely seen in Australian Politics.” Journalist: Prime Minister, do you trust this (NSW) Government, which is proving to be corrupt, to deliver your infrastructure plans? Crime Minister Abbott: “That, if I may say so, is an entirely “unjustified” smear. Let me not mince my words “madam”, “an entirely unjustified smear”, and frankly I think you should withdraw that, and apologise, because there is “no evidence whatsoever for that”. Can you please tell me what your evidence for that is? No, No please, please, please. Iv’ve asked what the evidence for that statement was, and none has been forthcoming. “We need to have standards in this country. We need to have decent standards from the media, if I may say so.” Indeed. !
