Abbott loses it in debate

Well he just couldn't get through an appearance (in this case a debate with Rudd) without putting his foot in his mouth again. This time however, it's wasn't a gaffe, but something that perhaps revealed his true character. During the debate, whilst Rudd was pressuring him over this and that, Abbott said directly into the microphone:

Incredibly inappropriate to say the least. Imagine him saying something like that at some world leaders forum? But more than that, I'd say it shows his character. One of impatience and hostility to people who don't have the same thinking as him.

Penny Wong hits the nail on the head I think:

Labor campaign spokeswoman Penny Wong believed Mr Abbott's performance showed the "real" opposition leader. "The unscripted, negative, aggressive man who would be prime minister," Senator Wong said. more
