#TableGate sure did take over today’s headlines, didn’t it? Oh AusPol; never change.
Anyway, an update for you on the mysterious expenno 1980s marble table to “somehow” got smashed during Tony Abbott’s boozy final hurrah after the Liberal Party leadership spill. “Somehow” actually meaning, “the mature adults leading a country got absolutely wankered and were dancing on top of it”.

Poor Abbott, who just cannot catch a break since his demotion, has gotten a bit narky and (for possibly the first time ever) has offered to take responsibility for his actions. He’s gonna pay out of his own pocket, and replace the irreplaceable table. His official statement said this:
“Oh hey former department colleagues – could you please send me the big bill for table we all drunkenly smashed the night I got fired? Thanks baes – miss you! xoxo.”
