COMMEMORATION
“A few scars, a few mistakes, a few things you could have done better.”
The prime minister offers his take on the colonisation of Australia, which sounds less like violent frontier wars and more like an attempt to assemble Ikea furniture.
REGRET
“He’ll be having nightmares tonight.”

In Abbott’s recurring nightmare, he wastes his prime years in politics stoking infighting and effecting little to no meaningful policy change. And then he wakes up and realises that’s exactly what happened.
ABC
“I think I do it to try to relax people.”
The former ABC chairman insists he only calls women “chicks” in a colloquial way, not in an “oh gosh, your shoulders are so tense” way.
