A 67-year-old pensioner angrily attached Abbott on ABC radio this morning because of the Medicare co-payments.

What is disgusting is the way Abbott smirked and winked when she told him she had to work an adult sex-line job to make ends meet.

The man is infantile and completely lacking in any sense of empathy towards the less fortunate. Gloria was right: "You don't give a stuff, do you?"

No, Gloria, he really doesn't.
