We all remember when Tony Abbott munched on a brown onion on camera, because it was a day in history where the leader of our country proved himself to be an insane man/defective robot.
And well, it seems like he developed a taste for that burning white flesh. He just can’t seem to stop munching the onions. I am assuming this because he has munched an onion in front of press multiple times, so I can only imagine that he has a pantry full of onions that he simply digs into whenever he gets the urge.
His wife is probably sick of him coming back to bed with onion breath after he ducks downstairs for a quick onion midnight snack.
Just last week he reportedly told The Daily Telegraph that eating the onion was one of the things he probably shouldn’t have done:
I probably shouldn’t have winked at Neil Mitchell. I probably shouldn’t have eaten an onion. I probably should have had walk coaching.
Agree, agree, agree. But yet here we find ourselves once again in the position where Tony Abbott has munched another onion.
It apparently happened again after he flew to Launceston to launch an anti-bullying website, which is an unbelievable thing to type, almost as unbelievable as the onion thing, considering Abbott’s outspoken opinions recently on marriage equality.
While he was there talking up an anti-bullying website, Tasmanian newspaper The Examiner happened to ask him about bullying during the same-sex marriage plebiscite.
I guess minority groups are much more prone to feeling vulnerable than people who are part of a majority. We’ve got to ensure when we have a debate over something which is contentious, it’s respectful.
Oh okay then. Right you are. Why don’t you stick an onion into your mouth to prevent words from coming out?
Apparently he did, as the paper then reported that “At the launch Mr Abbott was presented with an onion, which he quickly peeled and bit during the press conference.”

Why is this happening again. How and why does this keep happening. Does Abbott think that he must eat an onion if it is handed to him? Did he undergo some sort of curse hundreds of years ago that forces him to chomp into a raw onion if one is in his vicinity? Does he think it’s going to terrify Malcolm Turnbull so much that he gives up his position and kneels helplessly before Tony?
I just don’t understand, but I have a feeling it’s going to happen again.
