Mr Abbott's vow to confront Mr Putin over the loss of Australian lives in the MH7 Malaysian Airlines tragedy marks an escalation of tension between the two nations over the tragedy. The Prime Minister told reporters on Monday he would tell Mr Putin that Australians were murdered by Russian-backed rebels in the Ukraine when MH17 was shot down, and that "we are very unhappy about this". Mr Abbott said he accepted that Russia had not wanted the tragedy to occur but "we now demand that you [Russia] fully cooperate with the criminal investigation". ""I'm going to shirtfront Mr Putin," he said. "I am going to be saying to Mr Putin Australians were murdered. "There'll be a lot of tough conversations with Russia and I suspect the conversation I have with Mr Putin will be the toughest conversation of all." A shirtfront is a front on charge designed to knock an opponent to the ground. It is commonly used in AFL. Mr Abbott was one of the most vocal critics of Russia in the days after the MH17 tragedy, sparking suggestions Mr Putin may not come to the November summit. But the Russian leader is now expected to make the trip. The Prime Minister's comments came just hours after Opposition Leader Bill Shorten said Mr Putin should "show enough conscience" not to come to the G20 summit, accusing the Russian President of "rubbing our faces" in the aftermath of MH17 by making the trip. Speaking to reporters in Melbourne, Mr Shorten said he understood the government could not act unilaterally to prevent Mr Putin from attending an international conference. But he said he believed most Australians would not welcome the Russian President's visit and "laying out the red carpet" was not the way to "deal with an international bully". "There's plenty of evidence to indicate indirect if not direct Russian involvement in the shooting down of this plane which saw hundreds of souls snatched away from their families, with no justification or rationale," Mr Shorten said. "How is it that the President of the Russian Federation Putin will thumb his nose at the rest of the world, go wherever he wants without there being any repercussions or any cooperation with the independent investigation as to how this happened? "I believe Putin knows more about what happened with MH17 than he's let on." Mr Shorten added that he would not meet with the Russian leader while he was in Australia.[/QUOTE] [url]http://www.smh.com.au/federal-politics/political-news/tony-abbott-vows-to-shirtfront-vladimir-putin-over-mh17-tragedy-20141013-115cm3.html[/url]
Somewhat relevant. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/kXHR8Xb.jpg[/IMG] Pretty embarrassing with Abbott in his budgie smugglers.
he doesnt mean literally...
imagine two of the biggest cunts in international politics flexing their muscles without their shirts on
I don't know why but most of the time when I see Abbott's face he reminds me of some orc who freshly crawled out from Mordor.
[QUOTE=SexualShark;46220747]imagine two of the biggest cunts in international politics flexing their muscles without their shirts on[/QUOTE] Every other world leader would just walk out and get some lunch instead of watching two grown men battle it out in a flexing contest
Best political punchup ever.
Why does Abbot always feel the need to be that guy in classrooms where no one answers the teacher's stupid/rhetorical question, but then little Abbot comes in feeling like he needs to answer that question. That guy no one likes in class.
He's more like the kid who comes up in between two people having a conversation and throwing in his two cents nobody asked for.
[QUOTE=abcpea;46220739]he doesnt mean literally...[/QUOTE] Thank goodness I thought he was using the term to literally propose a game of AFL with Putin to show how upset he was about an attack on a passenger jet carrying Australian citizens. Luckily he was just suggesting it metaphorically.

I want this filmed. Also, isn't Russia not invited to G20 anymore or was it G8?
[QUOTE=MuffinZerg;46221517]I want this filmed. Also, isn't Russia not invited to G20 anymore or was it G8?[/QUOTE] G8. There was discussion to ban you lot from this years conference following the huge coverup from the Russian Government but parliament said it would be better for Putin to face the music than stay in Russia.
Of all the countries that lost stuff he is the least Dependant one on Russia

I read it as 'shitfront' several times... I'm sad I realized what it really says.
