Tony Abbott (Warringah, Liberal Party, Prime Minister) Share this | Hansard source

I quoted one section of Paul Kelly's book yesterday. Let me quote more of Paul Kelly:

… in March, Swann kept his eye on Shorten, suspicious about his loyalty to Gillard. Many Labor figures suspected that Shorten's real position in March was: I must support Gillard but I want Rudd to win. … Shorten didn't want the political blood of two leaders on his hands. He was thinking of his future.

And that is the problem. He only thinks of his future, never of our country's future. That is his problem. That is why he will never be Prime Minister of this country.
