Haha I knew Niki Savva's book was going to shed light on Abbott and Peta Credlin relationship that wasn't pretty and how his total support of her cost him the Prime Minister-ship but I'd never heard that the Libs thought they were sleeping together. I'd better go get a copy of the weekend oz and read the etract from her book seeing its been blocked.

Former prime minister Tony Abbott has declined to comment on a new book charting the demise of his government, including revelations he was told to dump his chief of staff Peta Credlin, partly because of a "perception" they were having an affair. That warning came from senior Liberal Senator Concetta Fierravanti-Wells who has confirmed she confronted both Mr Abbott and Ms Credlin about rumours circulating among colleagues that he was "sleeping with her". Both denied the affair.

Ms Fierraventi-Wells is one of several senior government figures who have come forward to give on-the-record accounts which have been published in a book by Niki Savva called The Road to Ruin: How Tony Abbott and Peta Credlin destroyed their own government. The book focuses on the insular relationship between the pair, and the influence and power Ms Credlin had within Mr Abbott's office. According to an extract published in The Australian, Senator Fierravanti-Wells went to Mr Abbott the night before the failed first attempt to unseat him last February.

She told the then-prime minister he had to remove Ms Credlin, arguing colleagues considered her responsible for many of the government's problems, and they were prepared to take out their frustrations on him. Senator Fierravanti-Wells is quoted in the book as telling Mr Abbott "politics is about perceptions". "Rightly or wrongly, the perception is that you are sleeping with your chief of staff. That's the perception, and you need to deal with it. "I am here because I care about you, and I care about your family, and I feel I need to tell you the truth, the brutal truth. This is what your colleagues really think." According to the book, Mr Abbott responded calmly and said the rumours were not true. Mr Abbott was not ousted in that February motion, but the chain of events was considered a precursor to his ultimate downfall in September.

This isnt hard to believe, no need to have a physical relationship to think this

According to the book, Senator Fierravanti-Wells also put the rumours directly to Ms Credlin a few days after the February motion. Ms Credlin also denied it, and the recollection is that she said she would not leave Mr Abbott's office, arguing he would not be able to do his job as prime minister without her.

And Laurie Oakes was even more brutal in his article

Channel Nine senior political journalist Laurie Oakes has also had access to the book ahead of its publication on Monday, and said Ms Credlin's comment showed she thought Mr Abbott was incapable of doing his job without her. According to Oakes, the book includes a quote — with the approval of a senior government adviser — that says: "He [Abbott] knew he wasn't up to it, she knew he wasn't up to it, so they both hunkered down." Oakes has written about another anecdote from the book provided by a Liberal MP. The MP recalled being invited to dine with Mr Abbott and Ms Credlin and watched Ms Credlin use her fork to feed Mr Abbott mouthfuls of food from her plate. As the meal was ending the MP recalled Ms Credlin put her head on Mr Abbott's shoulder and said she was tired.

The greatness of the first song makes it eligible for you to get away with the second.

Selwood.

Well done. That little irritant is now finished. He didn't even make the top 40 squad for all Oz side and I reckon that's why I completely missed him.

IMO a lot of things Ali said should be considered pretty low and should reflect badly on him. The things he said to Fraizer were just uncalled for and no way could an athlete get away with that today, even Kanye West wouldn't go there. Well maybe he would but that's a lose lose.

Anyhow...

McGregor got lucky Aldo walked in to his fist, now watch the UFC pad his stats, like they did to Rousey matching her with like for like inferior fighters for so long before going with something different in Holms cause anybody could see then minute Rousey took it up to a bona fide striker she was gonna be found out.

Diaz brothers! I mean seriously... And Chael Sonnen retires without a title.

MMA had sutch a great roster thru the 2000 it was epic.

Also it was a battle of styles, now every fighter has similar skill sets witch makes it a tad boring.

Not to mention that the death of MMA in Asia left the ufc with all the cards.

Now we are getting a similar outcome to boxing.
