Hit ‘im, Tone:

“I’m going to shirtfront Mr Putin,” the prime minister said on Monday.

“I’m going to be saying to Mr Putin, Australians were murdered. They were murdered by Russian-backed rebels using Russian-supplied equipment.”

He said he would also be demanding Russia co-operate with the criminal investigation and if evidence is sought it should be provided.

Mr Shorten said…”How is it that the President of the Russian Federation, Putin, can thumb his nose at the rest of the world, go wherever he wants, without there being any repercussions or any co-operation with the independent investigation as to how this happened?”

Smash ‘im, Bill. Pravda responded:

“I would advise Russia’s President Vladimir Putin to wash his hands carefully and sterilise them after shaking the paw offered to him by Australia’s Prime Minister Tony Abbott at the forthcoming G20 Summit in Brisbane,” a Pravda column says.

“It is not about Ebola virus disease, it is about the disease called insolence and Australia’s colonial chip on its shoulder.”

Stink!
