Abbott turns up late to debate : "'This is mea culpa month I think for Tony Abbott - 'I'm sorry we didn't invest in the public hospitals', 'I'm sorry we didn't plan for the work force', 'I'm sorry I offended Bernie Banton' and now 'I'm sorry I offend a whole national TV audience',' she said."
Well, yes, he is doing a lot of sorry at the moment and I suppose that is a good thing. He isn't avoiding it altogether. I think politicians run jam packed schedules and they do need to be wary of this. If you do have a TV debate against your counterpart, you need to be there so your schedule needs to be freed up. The debate either has priority or it doesn't and the other debates have been well worth the efforts of the politicians and we need to hear our candidates speaking and we need to give them a chance to speak. I like what we have done this time. It's true...a trip between Melbourne and Canberra ought to be okay but TV cannot be held up. It just can't. If anything the other stuff could be delayed until later in the day. It sounds as though Ms Roxon was in fine form and organised and that's something to be considered. You actually want people to be there representing you with a sharp mind and plenty of energy . So...on with the show.
