What shames the nation is the relentless witch hunt led by Abbott and Bishop and supported by members of the press who should know better. And this latest development defies credibility.
What happened is that a newspaper published an accusation against our prime minister without checking the accuracy of the accusation.
Tony Abbott read the newspaper article and, also failing to check the accuracy of the accusation, accused Julia Gillard of committing a crime and he did it outside of parliament and on TV.
Then someone at the newspaper office that started the farce discovered that their accusation against Gillard was false and publically retracted the accusation.
But there was no retraction from Tony Abbott.
Julia Gillard gave him an opportunity to make the retraction in the parliament question time.
Tony Abbott, perhaps unaware of the newspaper's retraction, totally missed this opportunity and instead, attacked Julia Gillard with the false accusation and demanded that she resign.
