HOWARD'S MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN: ABBOTT AND PELL

No wonder Brother Abbott looked so worried when Tony Jones blew the lid off his secret meeting with Sydney's Opus Dei Ambassador George Pell during the election campaign.... It seems that Lil Johnny's new heir apparent had stitched up a deal with his holiness that would ensure Hyacinth and her Man would be enjoying taxpayer funded Harbour views for 3 more years.

And that deal was?

You squeal about Latham's school policy (even though it meant mick schools would be better off) and I'll kick start the abortion debate once we win the election!

As they say in Latin: quid pro quo!

A text book example of divide and conquer Howard style.
