Abbott's last hoorah piss up at Kirribilli House with his old school mates

Update: Labor is demanding to know who paid and why Kirribilli house was used.

As usual for Abbott it was entirely inappropriate if community expectations were considered.

First, look at this short video, widely published in the media as Abbott leaving Kirribilli for the last time:



Sounds very convincing doesn't it. But notice his weasel words. He says he's leaving "for the last time as residents". 

In fact Abbott came back that very night (according to him not as a resident) for a pre-arranged piss up with his old school mates. 

But just two hours later Mr Abbott was back, if not as a resident then as a very familiar guest, welcoming more than 50 St Ignatius old boys for their 40th reunion. 

The class of 1975 arrived at the prime ministerial pad in two bus loads, ferried from a North Sydney pub where they had been wetting their whistles before the main event. 

Mr Abbott greeted every one of the "Old Ignatians" at the door of Kirribilli House, beaming as he shook hands, patted backs and bear hugged his old school pals. 

"How are you, mate," Mr Abbott said jubilantly and repeatedly. 

Raucous laughter drifted from the house as Mr Abbott lingered at the front door until all his guests had arrived. more

My question is, if he wasn't a resident then who invited him in to have said piss up, pre-arranged or not? Does that mean any other Australian not a resident of Kirribilli House can pre-arrange to have a party there when the place is vacant? 

Of course not, so why is it OK for fuckin beheaded Abbott? How much tax payer funded wine and alcohol went down the throats of his party goers? How much food?  Who paid for the clean up afterwards? I can't imagine Abbott and Marge doing it.

Surely he could have arranged another venue. He had days to do it. I'm sure many places in Sydney would have catered to such a function for an ex Australian prime minister.  It's not as if he's short of money. Even if he retires from politics he'll still be getting a tax payer funded $300,000 a year pension.

But no, right to the bitter end he had to charge it to the taxpayer. Not really telling them so, just sneakily weasel wordedly going about it like it was all OK. Like he deserved it. Entitled to it. Outrageous.
