I've just remembered another Abbott embarrassment from a few years before his party won government. He was asked in an interview if he had ever met Australia's Archbishop, George Pell. Abbott lied that he had never met him. A few minutes later, he realised that the truth was going to come out and he admitted that he had met the Archbishop. The following week, The Chaser comedy team got priceless footage of one of the team dressed up as an Archbishop, stalking Abbott at a public gathering and calling out to him "Do you see me? Do you see me?"
