Ate the onion
by the looks of it, a couple of posters have smashed it 😅
I guess people with low media literacy aren't exclusive to Facebook and the comment section of News Corp publications.
That was Abbott, not Gillard.

I was going to comment on how Gillard's soullessness and treachery made the headline believable, but then I remembered Abbott eating the raw onion and I couldn't pass up the chance.
EDIT: I just went to double check and the first autocomplete on "Tony Abbott" was "Tony Abbott Onion".
