"We had a karaoke machine in the office, and at two in the morning it sometimes used to get a bit rowdy," Coonan says. Tit for Tat, I’d say. That is not my business (no matter how hypocritical I may think it is). In the odd case you’ve not heard, journalist Niki Savva has released a book that claims that the intimacy between former prime minister Tony Abbott and Peta Credlin, his chief of staff, was sufficiently toxic to impede foreign policy, produce a spill and starve Margie Abbott of both affection and actual meals. Thanks again, Savvas book is about Abbotts failure, and Credlins part in that. So, I think it was okay to write that this was what press had derived from the work, that this was the public conversation. Welcome! However, Disney suddenly decided to close it down in 1999 and abandoned it. Later, he had said the proposal "fell foul of the 'I'm over 40 and I need a baby' brigade". Abbott thought nothing of arriving at a restaurant carrying Credlin's gym bag, for instance. Unfortunately, that is just life. The term "glamazon" might have been invented for her. Who gives a shit about the dynamics of the relationship. Riley pauses. She has a lot of power." No olive branches. This book simply outlines more detail as to what some of that dynamic was like. In the only backward move in her career, Credlin was demoted to deputy when Turnbull brought in Chris Kenny, now a columnist at The Australian. ", Each parliamentary sitting day, Abbott has a morning meeting with his seven most senior ministers. That she became more than that is the story and that is Savva’s story. (In this case it worked – $15 online, which is a bit of a bargain but anyway). While it’s clear where Savva’s political sympathies lie, there is also a lot in the book about Abbott’s abject failure to listen to anybody from backbenchers to cabinet ministers and party elders, who did, at times, try to articulate the electorate’s growing dissatisfaction with and rejection of the extreme neoliberal policies he was prosecuting on the back of a slew of broken promises. It’s just a little different for girls and Savva, despite her apparently reasonable claims that it really didn’t matter if Abbott and Credlin were going at it in a COMCAR hammer-and-tongs (to be clear, the published evidence that they were is non-existent) mines this difference. IF.com.au Fine then REALPOLOTIK, no more books on past Prime Ministers of Australia. "We were having a couple of beers and a chat about the trip to Afghanistan," says Seven Network political editor Mark Riley, "and he made a couple of remarks that she thought were just a little bit out of school." "But I don't think she's harsh or unreasonable in her judgments." And from the book’s enthusiastic reception, we learn that there is a quaint, persistent faith that certain glamorous women are able to rule men with the merest Kegel flex. It’s pretty transparent that Savva is trying to provide an excuse for the failed adventures of the lunar Right – but in this case she may just be right. Nevertheless, Nelson was able to persuade Credlin to sign on as his social policy adviser, and when he was toppled by Malcolm Turnbull less than a year later, she moved to Turnbull's office as chief of staff. 4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? "I think she's a moderating influence in the office," says independent Tasmanian MP Andrew Wilkie, who has had many discussions with the two of them. However no matter how you couch your context what you have written is a critique of both the content and the author. The rumour of an intimate relationship was around for years. "He relies on her heavily and respects her judgment," says a senior Liberal. No defamation lawsuit coming. "Likeable, but with a hint of ferocity below the surface," is the way one cabinet minister sums her up. Sorry – put my response in the wrong place…not meant as a reply to BRONNY. For instance, Employment Minister Eric Abetz, the leader of the government in the Senate, had his choice of chief of staff knocked back. Even cabinet ministers have had hiring decisions overruled. I have no objection to your freedom to comment in whatever way you choose. See Gillard http://www.crikey.com.au/2013/06/28/razer-gillards-knifing-had-nothing-to-do-with-the-patriarchy/ Daily Review is Australia’s go to source for engaging Apparently, according to Savva, Abbott and Credlin tried to get her sacked from The Australian on a few occasions. Point is, if you’re going to use religious aphorisms to attack someone’s argument, for Christ’s sake, do it with style Whilst I am interested in the opinions of others since they tend to highlight the flaws in my own opinions what I’m really looking for is facts and informed comments – it was clear to me that you offered up too much of either. This is still very much the government of Abetz, Morrison, Andrews, Bernadi, et al–or, more accurately, the government of their backers–but by shifting the blame for the first two disastrous years of their term completely onto Credlin and Abbott, they gain themselves two rays of hope. ?..Are you viewing it through a straightjacket of ideology.?
