I'll back Abbot here, he's the only one that's had the guts to tell Putin it was his missile and his missile launcher that shot down the plane and he needs to sort it out.
As ***t as G20 may be it has been good to me , 12 hour shift today paid at triple time is nearly a weeks pay in one day , not bad for watching a few movies
Abbott came at me in his undies I'd leg-it as well .. he was going to be a f#ckin priest at one stage (and I still retain my boyish good looks .. or so I am told ) .. hahahaha

I think it is very essence of being Australian to criticise our Authorities if they are posturing around on a hiding to nothing mission, nothing will come of the Putin "shirtfronting" Historically the Russians do not hold the value of human life or accountability to high on the agenda. patriotism is a whole different matter, I love Australia and will to the day I die ,Un Australian NO Patriot YES

So Abbott shouldn't stand up to Putin, or anyone else for that matter, unless it's a sure fire victory? I couldn't disagree with you more. Putin's an egotistical maniac and I reckon it's entirely fitting that civilised people let him know what they think - regardless of what you think. I for one believe it's more Australian to stand up for what you believe and to back the underdog if necessary, than it is to criticise someone for having a go. And it's pretty poor form bagging out our PM, regardless of political colour, when he's representing all of us. There's a difference between nation and international politics mate.
Good one, that Maroon 48 Ford pilot is the same model I restored a few years ago as an every day driver ,a great old car and the body steel was thick as ,they were a pre war design but produced in the UK from 1947 to 1952 with the 221 cube side valve V8
